You're probably being downvoted for being wrong. In the novel, he had 5 kids, but also the entire point of Bob Cratchit is as an allegory for the working class, so criticizing him for having too many kids is hilariously in line with Ebenezer Scrooge pre-ghosts. You might as well have said that Mr. Cratchit should've let Tiny Tim die so they wouldn't be so poor for maximum irony.
I apologize to Tiny Tim and the entire Cratchit family for my poor sense of humor.
You're gonna be visited by four ghosts to learn the error of your ways.
