No, I know several women who raised more children than that while doing work other than housewife. Some had stores in the same building, others were farmers, one was a high school teacher. One of the women who had a store in the same building has ten children (I think only one isn’t married, and only one of the married ones has two kids: the rest have 3-4).
One. At 59 and with a vasectomy, I’m gonna guess my daughter’s the only child I’ll have. Madame Pepperwinkle had a rough delivery with the Princess, and the doctor cautioned us that any more could well prove fatal. Unfortunately.
I have two. I wanted more. One miscarriage with the ex. I discussed it with my girlfriend and we were considering trying for one. But this last vacation cured us of that.
As a young boy, my neighbors had 6, I was one of 3, both grandparents were 1 of 11 or 12 kids, and had scads of cousins. It made me want at least 6 or 8 or 10 kids when I grew up. Imagine the Thanksgivings and Christmases! Vacations where I get to show them the world!
Yours, mine, and ours! Happy children everywhere!
Then I had one. A precious gift, but a handful logistically, getting from here to there.
4 years later another popped up. Now we gots problems! Since my wife’s birth control pills caused bad side effects, she wanted to stop taking them. That put me squarely in the “no glove, no love” department that I thought I was finished with at 17.
I volunteered to undergo Traumatic Crotchital Region Surgery[sup]TM[/sup] for the team.
Note to newbies: Keep the frozen peas in the bag.
Even with full scholarships, college ain’t cheap! And when the boy is finished, it’s the girl’s turn.
Upside is, they’ll bring you the remote when you’re on the couch.
That’s what you get for vacationing in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Anyway, I’ve got two and that’s all I want or ever wanted. You can run a man-to-man defense with two, any more than that and you’re switching over to a zone, and that can get messy.
Thank you Gukumatz.
Kindly make the last option “4 or more” if possible.
Nice. May I know how long back are we talking?
I know of 1 political leader(Laloo Yadav) who has 9 children, who was Chief minister of an Indian state. His wife(Rabri Devi) was a house-wife till he went to jail in a corruption case at which point his wife became the CM of the state. She was illiterate and didn’t know how to sign.
