Why do people in America consider having many children a curse?

?

Those who might consider it a curse simply don't have a lot of children.

Responsible people everywhere in the world consider it irresponsible to have more children than they can expect to provide a good education and comfortable life for.

Today in the USA it cost about $250,000.00 to raise a child to age 18, Then it gets expensive if they go to

University. So raising 8 children would require 2 million dollars. At the poverty level of existence they

might squeeze by for 1.5 million. But how many families have that kind of income?

That is why sex education is so important. Most large families are no planned

rather they are the result of lack of knowledge on the subject.

A century ago farmers did plan for large families because they needed all the help

on the farm.

I think in a world that is having problems feeding all that need food, having an excess of children is thoughtless. Responsible parents make sure they have the where with all to provide for their children so that they live a better life than they do and that requires a large amount of money. Having children that can't live to their full potential is thoughtless.l

Iv never heard of that. What number is many? Most people think 2-3- 4 children max is enough.
