I also notice a lot of hispanic families have large amounts of kids, as well as some black families. Although as said, most of this is likely unwanted pregnancies and people living in poorer parts of the world. I can't imagine bringing a kid into this world and not having the means to take care of them, it's not only ruining your life but this new young child.

Merely anecdotal, but people who have the most kids(as in 4 or so) tend to be either poor or quite upper middle class or even rich. Middle class and lower middle class people usually only have 1 kid or 2 at the very best. |

I'd actually be curious if there's statistics to support this.
And whether or not your anecdotal evidence takes blended families into account. Cousin of mine has six children. Two were from their first marriage, two came with the second spouse, and then they had two together.

As to the... we'll call it the "inner-city" thing, it's a mixed bag. There's "Imma trap him with this baby! Then he won't leave, uh-uh!" There's "I'm super religious, no way would I abort this baby. Or the next one. Or the next one. I don't need a man!" There's "I know if I have these babies, they gonna love me! I want so bad for someone to love me, this is the way!" There's "Imma have a bunch of kids so I can get this $20,000 a year in tax money." There's mixes of those. There's lots of things.
Largely a product of broken homes, no structure, "Teen Mom"-type reality shows, or simply "my mom and/or dad did that, so nothing wrong with doing the same!" And certainly a product of nothing in place to stop them from doing so.

Absolutely crazy. 2 kids is ideal for most people, maybe 3 at the most. Any more than that and you're asking for trouble.

How about a thousand?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List..._most_children "Genghis Khan: He is said to have fathered at least 1,000 children, possibly as many as 2,000 from as many as 3000 wives. Genetic analysis has shown he is a male-line ancestor of 0.5% of the world's population."

Let's break this down, shall we?
16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets Quote:
So that's: 16 twins(36 weeks) 7 triplets (32 weeks) 4 quadruplets (30 weeks) Which adds up to a total of 17.69 years doing nothing but gestating.

Science can help you out with that, if you like.
Zygotes will implant pretty much anywhere...

Wow, this thread is getting way too scientific for me. This is above my pay grade, I need someone to explain this to me in laymans terms. Not all of us went to Harvard and Yale.

You don't need to go to Harvard to know what a "zygote implanting" means, it's like...eighth grade biology. Maybe seventh if you're lucky. Ninth if you're not.
