Married ppl can have as many as they can afford
Not really based on money, moreso time.

Unless you can buy yourself a clone, There is a moral/ethical cap on how many other human beings you can legitimately support emotionally/mentally/socially.

There will be a day in middle school when every single child is being bullied simultaneously and there are literally not enough hours in the day to councel them mentally. There will be a time when each kid is at a different recital/sport/play/camp and each event is happening on the same friday in different parts of town. In highschool , they will all be acting out at the same time too. The absence of a parent stings bitterly at moments like this

Where rich people mess up is they think a tutor or nanny can fill in for that one-on-one time that is critical for child development. They assume a house, clothing , and food is enough to make them a good parent. But the psychosocial aspect is often lacking.

We don’t know their set up. There’s nothing inherently unethical about this. Unless they’re raising those kids unethically. :hubie:

Some ppl are wholly equipped to be fruitful and multiply. No matter how much modern society wants to frown on it. We live in a day and age where adults happily brag about not having children, so of course ppl, today will naturally think this is just “not right”. When there was a time this wasn’t all that abnormal. If Shaun and his wife are good parents and are equipped for it, then good on them. :hubie:

I kinda see your point but I disagree and Male biology disagrees with you because we are designed to want a bunch of kids.

Breh be real. Lets not talk ideology. Lets talk practicality. The same reason you cant work 5 full-time jobs is the same reason you cant have 14 kids. :usure:


There is a time commitment. And you have a limited amount of hours in your day. When you don't have enough time to do your 5 jobs, Then corners start being cut. For these same reasons, It is unethical to have more kids than you can realistically tend to . Its a recipe for emotional neglect or ordinary neglect. The end result is an unethical parent missing critical moments in their children's lives.

You can quantify exactly how long a recital/parent teacher conference/ playoff game/camp/ relationship counceling / behavioral discipline each take And you will very quickly realize no human being can afford to do this for a dozen kids. Normal parents can only do it because these events don't happen at the same time. But they will constantly be happening at the same time when you have that many kids. And every single absence at a time when your children need you stings, leaving scars that are often remembered into adulthood.



And you know what the crazy part is? The worst part isnt that the children will be alone when those kids need you to councel them on a relationship, or when they need you to stop them from doing something stupid. It's that other people will fill that hole ranging from bad peers on the better side , to outright predators in the worst case scenario. :francis:

Male biology also predisposes us to murder each other. But that behavior is neither ethical nor moral just because it happens to be a human instinct. That's the point I'm making. Human beings are different than animals Because we can think beyond our primitive instincts. We can see the consequences of our actions. So as modern people, we are fully aware of the consequences of not giving our kids the full amount of attention they need. The bad ethics comes from you being aware of this , and choosing to not give this time to those kids by splitting their original time by more offspring or giving it to your personal life.


Its Also worth noting that we are wired that way particularly Because our children were not intended to survive. For most of human history disease, birth defects , famine, war , and poor medical care made the odds of your kids making it to adulthood horribly low. But when you take away these pressures in modern society, You are left with children That nature never intended for you to still have.

“afford” = afford financially, emotionally, etc.


If they have a tight knit family/extended family they probably have a network of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc who have modeled this already.



Seems like they are doing better than some couples with only one or two kids.

No one rich or poor black or white should have that many kids. That tells me them people are not right, maybe early cte. You don’t have the time or energy to properly raise that many kids. It’s a bit selfish and after 5 you should be shamed.
