There has never been a day that I cherish having plenty children as a blessing. It's actually there's no plan or the partner's just want to test their God. How can you be planning to have 5 kids even in a stable economy and you don't have formal education. Let's say you have a formal education and you have good plans for your children to have the best than you do, what makes you think in the nearest future that things would remain the same?
Let a lone a poor man who can barely feed three times a day or have the 6 classes of food eaten each day. They just have this belief that it's God that gives children and He takes care of them. That mentality is just ignorance I can say. Plan your life and that of your children.
