[Aspie] How do people have more than 2 children?

[brocode]

In Jewish families

what's wrong? they're still families and humans nonetheless, just a different culture. imagine i tell u about the culture  of a congo tribe, you'd perceive it almost the same way.

Anyways, yea, I do think it makes them less loved. Like substantially. Like I don't know how you can argue it doesn't. It is physically impossible in our linear experience of time as humans to give actual connection and emotional support to twelve different children. You either give some the real affection, or you give them all mediocre affection. With 3 children the effect is not as extreme but it's still a lesser magnitude of the same idea.

Traditionally, yea, it works for success because they would all just be farmers or labourers or something; jobs were basic, it took minimal analysis to determine what you children would be good at. But in this modern society? Where we have such a degree of comfort and wealth (at least in the west), and such specified jobs and places in society? Don't think so. There is no "scientist"; there is a spectrum from nurse to astrophysicist. There is no "tradesman" or "philosopher"; we are too detailed now, too specialized. 

I don't want to be a shepherd of my children, I don't want to be a breeder or an analyzer, I want to be a connected father who has extremely deep memories and experiences with a tight and intimate circle of people whom I share my entire life with.

as much as i understand where u r coming from, it is very flawed and selfish to think of it that way.
besides ur kids being reminiscent dolls of urself, u have to understand they are still humans at the end of the day.

they are still humans with interests, passions, and desires.
as a parent it will be ur responsibility to aid them in their growth, not necessarily just shove them with love and money and food and make them dependent on u, that's not the role of a parent.

the role of a parent is to teach their children how to fish, not give them fish for life.

that being said, having a lot more of urself, is pride that u have a lot of urself, a sense of "pride" that ur kids are the ones being at it.

Brocode u are a high iq poster and gave me lots of knowledge and wisdom but in this case I am going to just cordially end this discussion

2nd last line is a good point but with daughters its just: love them and provide for them, then vet a husband for them to do the same when u die. I guess I made this thread with the (arrogant) assumption that everybody knew I only want daughters; I'm not considering sons at all because that is a horrifically unthinkable thought to me that I would even have any.

Alright
Just so we're on the same page, I never intended to say 2 kids is not "good enough", just am of the opinion that such things related to having babies should happen naturally.

2 daughters sounds like a good family lifestyle for sure.
