Re: Would you rather....

  • I would have to pick 14... I couldn't imagine not having kids, at the same time I am ready to pull my hair out with these two, but I think it would all be worth it in the end.  I guess I would prefer to have them Duggar style... one at a time as opposed to the Octo-mom
  • none...i'll probably be in the minority with that answer but i struggle back and forth with whether i want to even try to have 1 so I definitely wouldn't want 14.
  • I think I would have to go with none...you can't love that many kids the way kids need and deserve to be loved. 

    I do agree with the PP about having 14 kids, I would prefer Duggar style, instead of Octo-Mom style.  

  • I would go with none and just be the best auntie ever! If I had 14 children I wouldn't be around to enjoy them because they would have me locked up in a padded room!

  • 14. I've always wanted a big family ;)
  • I think for me it would have to be none.  I think having 14 children would stress me out to the point that I couldn't enjoy any of them and really take care of them and I wouldn't want that for my children.  One or two would be great but 14 would be too much to handle and really support the way that I would want to.

    DITTO!

  • 14... in struggling with IF it is so hard to see people having child after child, like the Duggars and Octomom (she angers me to no end), and I can only hope to be so blessed as to have at least ONE child right now. I would definitely want to do it Duggar style and not Octomom style though!

  • None.

    With the world as it is I really don't want kids now, or even for another 5 years.
    I could easily end up "Octomom" due to having issues with no monthly, obviously making it hard to conceive....
    But even if/when I have children 14 would be way too many for me and DH to handle.
    Actually (our goal of) 2 would be more than enough for us to handle

  • 14 for sure! ?It would suck for a while, but I love big families! ?My husband has 4 sisters, which i know is 10 less than 14 but still! ?
  • 14!

    Not even a question. I have always wanted to be a Mom.

  • 14. ?I've wanted to be a mom for as long as I can remember and having a family is so important to DH and I. We always knew we wanted kids and it was more of us having to wait until it made sense with our lives. Now I can only hope that our time is sooner than later as there's been no luck yet : (

    However...I agree that if it were to be 14, I'd want the Duggar style : ) It is irresponsible for a doctor to knowingly implant that number. But hey, I deal with 24 each day, 14 might seem like a break! : )?

  • None.  3 dogs are a handful, let alone 14 kids!  Now, I am saying this and I don't have kids yet...  but I still think I'd have to say none. 

    I couldn't imagine $175,000/4 yrs for college (what it is estimated to be in 18 years for a state school) x 14 kids ($2,450,000)
