108, I agree with you completely. I want to address three points. 1. The people who say that it is all about averages. "Some people have 15 kids and some have none. It is all about the averages!" Well guess what? The averages are still too damn high! A 2.5 kid average per woman will basically triple the population in the next 50 years. Your logic is flawed because there are still too many people in the world, no matter what the **** you think your averages say. 2. The argument that it isn't selfish. Well it is. I'm sorry but if you can afford 4 or 5 kids, then maybe you should help the parents that can't afford one. And the prices nowadays to take care of these kids, it is ridiculous. So help some other parents out if you can. When you bring more than your fair share of human life into this world, then you harm the humans that surround your children because the world and its population are growing exponentially, and eventually will exceed the amount the world can hold. It is selfish to say "I want as many kids as I can handle", when the rest of the world and the world itself says "we don't need another bitch to make more babies than her fair share". Stop at two ladies. Use a condom, save a baby, save 3000 diapers filled with shit, and you will have helped to save the world. 3. Make sure to raise your first kid right before you raise another one. We don't need more ignorant kids in this day and age. If you want 2 kids, then make sure that the first kid you have is on the right path before you try to raise another one. We should be worried that the quality of the new generation is decreasing, yet the quantity is increasing. If and when I think about breeding, I would much rather have one good kid that will make significant contributions to the world rather than 15 snotty jerks. So next time you say that you want as many kids as you can have, think about raising your first kid right. Thank you for all of the people who stayed with me through this rant. I think that some of you people need to get your shit together before you worry about getting a child.

he's probably right tho

Man has a point...

That sucks, I'm sorry your Dad isn't very supportive. As one of four kids (and therefore admittedly biased) I really appreciated being part of a larger family (larger in these "modern" times) and I am very close with my siblings and parents. Don't let other people try to tell you have many children you should or should not be having, your family is your business, not the public's (although you did disclose information about it online). As long as you have the means to support them financially and emotionally, there's no problem with having 3,4, or more kids. It's about what's right for you. And for those saving "if you can afford more than two, you should pay to support those who can't afford the kids they have", um no, those people should step up, be a parent, and provide for their children. Simple as that. Don't start harping on people who can afford to have more children than what you deem "proper" while telling them to shell out for other people's kids. And if you're for restricting the amount of children women are allowed to have, why not just go a step farther and say you have to prove you have the financial means to raise a child before being allowed to have any kids to start with? Actually, maybe that's not such a bad idea. But seriously, is current over-population is affecting you this much right now, you should probably just not reproduce at all. That way you can say you're doing your part for the planet.

wow. youve got to be a serious fuckup if your own father doesnt think you should reproduce

My opinion on this situation depends on how old you are

He's probably tired of paying for half your crap you need that you some how misplaced or sold because you didn't think you were going to have anymore children

Either you're to young or you can't support yourself already with the two children u have so think about it

Only reason that's justifiable... If you ever said the word yolo or swag in his presence.

Congratulations! Why do people think three kids is a lot?
