No can't say I have those urges to have more children. We have two (5 1/2 and 7) and that's plenty for me. It was fun being pregnant and giving birth is amazing! In my younger years I was always saying I want a soccer team too, but as I got older, this quickly changed. There is so much more to raising a child, then just the first 9 months. lol

Being able to provide a good childhood for my kids is important to me. Being able to devote as much time as I can to each of them is also important. Plus I want to be able to take my kids on vacation and show them this and other countries. With two kids, the financial "burden" is a little different then when you have 19! I can't even imagine having to cook for 19 children, get 19 children ready for school, do home work, etc. Of course not all are babies/toddlers and the older children will help with the chores, but is there a lot of room for individual attention? If it works for her, great, I just know it wouldn't work for me.

I am also 44, don't think I would want to look at another three years of diaper changing. lol

[QUOTE="ctec67, post: 52247, member: 2245"] No can't say I have those urges to have more children. We have two (5 1/2 and 7) and that's plenty for me. It was fun being pregnant and giving birth is amazing! In my younger years I was always saying I want a soccer team too, but as I got older, this quickly changed.
