Dear xtranch,

Having been raised in a family of six with a single mother (my dad left us six months after my mother had her last child), i am can only agree with you that having a great number of childre is not the most sensible and intelligent things to do .

`

My opinion is that it is best to have 2 or 3 that you can properly take care of and look after and whom you have really decided to have than to have more that you abandon or dont take care of ... and the overpopulation aspect is also a very serious one ..
