Let’s leave it open to everyone. Otherwise it gets complicated. Some may be single parents, some may have been married, but now their marriages have been annuled, or some are widows/widowers.I’m not married and I have 0. Dont know if the poll is only for married couples though… (i did vote by the way).
So you would have had more to be planned?I have three and I seriously cannot see myself with more than that as they are almost grown.
Which is probably why I should not remarry.
I think though if I were younger and a stay at home mom, the thought would have been more palatable. However, as my ex husband was not a good financial provider and I had to work, a lot of kids was not ideal for me.
Although even though we had a pretty bad marriage and were constantly separated, I still managed to have three.
I wonder how many I would have had if we stayed together.

Let’s keep it simple.
One can always comment like you did about their specific situation.
I don’t know lol. I didn’t plan any of them. At that time I was using the calendar method, which actually worked pretty well for me. When it didn’t work was when I said,So you would have had more to be planned?
We call those ‘bonus babies’ around here.
Nah he was just a deadbeat. Would work, but not bring home the money.I said two because I have two living. Three miscarriages.
As for the non-supportive spouse, if the person is still married, I don’t see a problem with them continuing to have children. Presumably she continues to hope and pray that her husband will recover (if he is ill) or get a job (if he is out of work). In a situation where he is abusive, deserting, etc… than it behooves her to be continent. To me that is a grave reason to postpone pregnancy. A temporally (hopefully) out of work husband is not as much.
