Some ideally only have one because of the financial constraints. My thinking was to have two because I did not one child to be alone forever. I will not be alive forever and wanted both to have someone to rely on.

Yes this is right only one is not enough for whole and at least two child is must because both they can play easily with together. They may be brother and sister, sister and sister and brother and brother.

I think to many young people now, they have to work hard to make a life, and do not have enough time to spend with family members. So if they have more than one child, the life may be harder and each child may can not get enough attention from his/her parents, and enough financial support for him/her to receive a university education.

Partly the cost of living is too high nowadays and raising kids is no longer cheap. People are no longer interested in having big family as the mindset of people are geared more towards chasing for material gain and have no time to raise a brood of kids running around them. The materialistic world has influenced the living lifestyle of people and they become more career minded so the reasons for not wanting a big family.

In my home country the average is 2.6 children per family. That means most families have two or three children. Not many families have just one child. Birth control helps to make families smaller than they were long ago. Most people think they can afford to have two or three children. I know with airfares two children is the limit due to the cost.

My husband and I would like to have at least 2 kid and we have made the first one, maybe more to come but not soon yet. I think it is more fun to have more kids at home as long as the parents are affordable and responsible for the children.
