"Why Do You Want to Have Another Child?" (54 Light-Hearted Responses)
When I was pregnant with our 7th child, many people wondered why we wanted to have more children. I came up with these light-hearted responses to why we were pregnant again.
1.Our little girl really needs a little sister.
2.Each child has given us so much joy that we can't wait to see what the next one will bring.
3.We like the slave labor. :-) :-)
4.I've already got all the home schooling books for K-10th grade, so adding another kid to our school won't be that much more expensive
5.We won't have any money to retire on, so we want to have lots of options for visiting people if we have to sell the house.
6.Being pregnant is lots of fun--no period for 9 months!!! :-)
7.Nursing is lots of fun. It's relaxing and it also delays your having a period for months and months.

9.We haven't created a perfect person yet, so we need to keep trying.
10.We love life.
11.We love children.
12.Since abstinence before marriage is the safest, most effective, and most moral way to to prevent teen pregnancy, we teach that to our children. To give them additional understanding of why they do not want to become a teenage pregnancy statistic, we keep our older kids very busy in helping to care for the younger ones.
13.To make sure our youngest children have the same advantage as our younger ones (see #12), we want to keep having babies until our older children have babies that our younger children can babysit.
