Rather knowing that your preferred number of wives is 1 and no more than 4.
no more than 4 at a time correct? The venerable sheikh I mentioned was not in violation of this ruling. When you're parallel processing though, you can get a lot done.

Then whatever amount of children you have in them to seek support from Allah (SWT) to give them good tarbiyah.

sure. this clip criticises the mere planning of fewer children on the basis of financial resources on the basis that rizq comes from Allah. ALL rizq comes from Allah. Is ALL financial planning bad? Do you take your wallet when you leave home for work, or do you feel that your rizq will come to you?

Please remember older children teach younger ones and this is how I saw the family operating. They would elect from amonst themselves (the siblings) a leader whenever they used to go out. They used to travel in groups of no more than six but no less than two or three.
Good parenting involves the establishment of leadership delegation from amongst the more responsible offsrping to those who are younger.

Thats your view of good parenting. In my view, every child should recieve the same amount of care and attention from the primary adults in his life, not be raised by other kids. But I dont wish to be disrespectful to your friends so I wont further than expressing disagreement.
