My brother having 6 children. Now, he is 46 years old. The oldest daughters 21 years, the youngest 1 years. His wife is a full mom. I can't imagine how he feels hard to raising his children, moreover, at this time, children need more and more and the prices of goods increasing steadily ....
I hope God will help him. Some time ago, I also give help when one of the children needed hospital treatment.

Yes this is a hard case for sure my friend.
I cannot imagine it.
I intended to have two, I only had one.
My parents had 5 children.

Yes, agree with you, raising a number children is a hard case. I also can't imagine. At some decades ago, most of family having more than two children, in average they have four or 5 children, even my relative has 10 children. One thing which amazing, they can raising whole of their children, even can educate them to be good people.
I am impressed with them...

I have no kids so I cannot imagine having 6, though my aunt/uncle currently have 7 in current time! It is a lot of work, I cannot imagine it..

Me too, I can't imagine it. I think I can't having more than 2 children. Your uncle have 7 children? I think they are hard worker, so they can deal their 7 children. I hope they will pass difficult situation well.

I can't imagine to have so many children. I don't want so many children, in fact two will be perfect for me. But as a matter of fact, I just have one child. At present I don't want to have one more child because it will be risky since my age is also increasing. It is just not the right time.

Yes, you are right Youless...There are many matters which influence whether we add a child or not. As a woman, we have to consider our age, because of pregnant and giving birth is not an easy work. We have to prepare it well.

I have four siblings so that makes us 5 children and my mother was admirable. She wasn't just a housewife but she also earned money and taught us its value. We lived a very comfortable life and my mother was always there to support my dad in everything. They were both successful in raising a family and I admired them more than anybody else in this world.
I know I couldn't be like my mother, that's why i only have one son.

Yes, it is not easy being a great mom. I have five siblings, so my mother have six children. I know my parents passed difficult time when raising us. But, I grateful, we can pass the difficult time. Now, my mother is 75 years old and still strong and healthy. I proud of her, I think I couldn't like her. So, I just have two children.

It can be difficult having a number of children but often they have a very close and happy relationship.

Yes, you are right. Negative side of having a number of children is hard raising them, but positive side of this situation, they have close relationship. I am really feel this. I have 5 siblings and we have a very good relationship.

@srisahara I think perhaps it is more difficult now to raise a large family. Vince is one of 7 and they are a closely knit family too.
