I don't judge anyone who does or does not have kids. If they only have a couple of kids. If you've got 8 kids, I'm going to judge you. And I'm sure as hell going to judge you if you think "maybe" two children is not enough.

For me, as long as they can provide for those kids.... Whatever.

The only problem I have is when people have kids, or more kids when they can't even provide for themselves and/or the kids that they already have. It's like, you're on social assistance, living in subsidised housing, getting groceries at the food bank..... And you're popping out more kids... Why? You didn't find fulfillment from the several you already have? You can't even feed them, why are you having more?

If someone who is well off and has more money than they reasonably need for their bills and can afford to feed, clothe, and house +1 child, go ham. IDGAF.

I might question it because they already have six or eight or more kids, but honestly, I don't really care that they do it.... More of a "but, why?" Situation for me.

They might be able to provide enough in terms of needs, but there is no way to provide that many kids with enough parental attention. Especially if both parents are working. Older kids end up raising younger kids. So I will still judge them.
