Why Do Women Generally Want More Kids? by chimmy2: 12:26am On Oct 04, 2014 |
This is a question that have been bothering me: why do women want more kids? In almost all the young families I know, when the man wants two or at most three children; his wife wants four or more. There are loads of variation to this scenario but in almost all cases, the wife wants more kids than the husband. And my question is why? Why that desire for a larger family in terms of no of children by the female folks. I simply do not understand. Infact, it has become a common joke when a man says; 'we have three kids and we are done'. Wise folks will always remind such men not to 'count their eggs before they are hatched' as wify is likely to add a few more. My question is not about whether a small family is better than a large one or vice versa. As far as I'm concern, couples should have the number of children they believe they are emotionally and financially equipped to take care of. However, my concern is that I do not UNDERSTAND the desire in women for a larger barn. My assumption is that women undergo greater inconvenience to conceive and bear a child. And I expected that inconvenience of pregnancy, labor pain, delivery, nursing and baby sitting to be a major deterrent to multiple repetition. But it is obviously not the case - hugely surprising! Please what is/are the motivation(s)? I would like everyone, particularly married women, in this forum to contribute their honest opinion here. It is just for my education. Thanks all. 10 Likes |

"as wifey is likely to add few more" How will she add it? We men should be blamed. A man does his nightly duties and SCORES multiple goals. A loving mother will not agree to abort a pregnancy just because her husby doesnt want more kids. So many kids are born this way thereby crowding the family and make it look as if its the woman that "wants more" 20 Likes |

The woman's mind and body is naturally configured to nurture and reproduce. All the signs of maturity/puberty in a woman is genetically configured into making reproduction easy. So it is only normal for them to crave fulfilling the grace bestowed on them. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

Why won't they want more,are they the one taking care of the financial aspect? They want more kids,because they use the kids as a source of companion,once the man starts misbehaving,or die. 39 Likes 1 Share |

Here i am... I've always wondered too. Well, God creatd evrythin n saw that it was beautiful. The human life is so ordered n perfect that u begin to wonder d mechanism behind evrythin. Its like we're programmd wit softwares. The software that makes us want more children than necessary is 'be fruitful n multiply'...
