Happy morning! While sitting this morning watching my kids playing a question comes up on my mind. How many children for a couple is best to have? Before i got one kid only for 6 years. Life is comfortable, i can give most of his needs. But seeing myself happy with my sisters and brother i come to realize. I think he needs a sister and brother. Atleast he have someone to share happiness, failures and sadness. You, what do you think is best?

I think two kids is the best number to have. An only child is a lonely child.

I was an only child. I wasn't lonely. Nobody can talk me into this.

Sometimes I think two, sometimes I think three. A boy and two girls.

Well for me it is still small, the more the merrier.

I always think two children will be perfect for a family. Two is suitable as they can grow up and help each other. And it will not be a big burden for a family and parents can still have enough attention to both of them.

If the child is being raised correctly, there is no need for 'more' children @Renvil . I don't know why people feel 'more' is better. Now with 6 years being between the 2 kids, many things can now happen. #1 Jealousy of the older child because the younger one will be shown more attention. #2 That difference in ages will separate them, not bring them together because they will have different interests and goals. #3 When the older one reaches 18 and leaves home, that means now that there will be a 12-year-old alone. Does that mean there should be another one?

Ideally, two to three children but I think it really depends on them if the couple is capable of raising a child because they're financially ready and they want a big family it wouldn't be a problem having a basketball team for them. Haha

I think a single kid is enough these days when everything is too costly.

@Sanjeev Yes that is right..too costly to have a child that is why it takes 6yrs before we decide to have another child.

I think 2 is best because we can handle them and also we can be able to provide all the things they needs to the both. There is a one quote in our language which said by the mostly people for to be happy after the married life is "ham do hamare do" which means we both(husband and wife) and ours two(which means ours two child).

I think it depends on the capacity of the couple, if they can sustain more kids then I don't see any problems in it.
