Have as many kids as you are comfy with and you can afford. If you have no money then no kids is too many how would you feed clothe and shelter them. On the other hand if you have unlimited wealth and you want them, why not have 50 kids. Get the point?

5 kids is only too many if you can't support them and parent them. My personal philosophy: If you can't feed 'em, don't breed 'em. For me, I personally don't want that many. I don't feel that I could devote that much time and energy and it's not fair to thost potential lives. I might stick with 2, 1 blood and 1 adopted.

i say it depends on where you live. if you live somewhere like in san francisco, i'd say 5 kids is too many. if you live somewhere out in the sticks though, i wouldn't say 5 is too many, assuming you like kids.
-
if i didn't have to birth them, raise them, feed, shelter and clothe them... i don't care, not my problem.... have 20 kids as long as you don't beat or neglect them
-
It depends if you have the resources to provide for them properly. I am the youngest of six, so I'm a little biased when I say no. ;-)

No, I don't think so. Of course you could put all kinds of conditions on that to come up with reasons why 5 IS too many. The problem with that is, who's to decide on these conditions. And if there were a governing body over these conditions, would these conditions be fair to all? Well the answer is clearly "NO". In my opinion, adults have the right to decide what is an appropriate size for their family. It should not be dictated by the views or opinions of the government, churches, or any individuals.

For me, definitely too many. For someone with the urge to spend every waking second dedicated to taking care of FIVE other people, 5 kids may be just the right amount. I can't say what's too many for someone else, but I can say that five is waaaay too many for me.
-
There is no such thing as too many kids as long as you have love, time and money to take care of them.
-
I am the youngest of six so I don't think five kids is too many...if that is what is wanted and what can be cared for!
-
Nope. As long as you can take care of them properly that is.
-
Too many for me but then I come from a family of five children and know I could not handle them. If people are able to provide a decent life and the family is happy, I do not think it is too many for some people
-
no I had 5 kids my parents had 6 kids as long as you can support, raise and care for them its GREAT.
-
god wont give you more than you can handle
-
Not if you have the means to care for them. And in that case, bring on the babies! I have six siblings and I loved it.
-
yes and i can say that because I have 7 3 step kids and 4 of my own they range from 17 to 3. we always have a problem with money. my husband works two jobs and I work one. You are always leaving someone out of they are getting the short end of the stick. I would say 2 is great. maybe three
-
If you want 5 kids than you go ahead! For me right now 1 is enough. Kids take time and patience and money and if you can give them the love and support they need then you have as many as you want! People who want a large family usually find a way to make it work :-)
-
it depends on your financial situation and how much time you have to spend time with them and watch them
-
From the standpoint of an individual family, whether or not 5 kids is too many is subjective. Certainly, it is too much for me. From a culture, or global, standpoint, 5 kids is too many because we are already facing overpopulation, and our numbers are having a detrimental effect on the very ecosystem upon which we depend.
