Most of the families in China can only have one child mow and i am also the only kid in my small family. On the one hand, it is a good thing coz my parents will offer me the best they can, such as love, patience,education ect. But on the other hand, i always feel lonely when my parents were busy at work. and i even dreamed i could have an older brother especially when our parents are getting older, having more brothers and sisters can offer more fun for my parentsand give more support to their life. How many kids you plan to have when you get married? My ideal nubmer is two, so how about you?

I would love to have 3 kids. Unfortunately, I don't see me ever falling in love, so I might have to adopt.

I always think of having three kids, as my own family has three, and I think it's really nice. I have an elder brother and a younger sister. It's really nice to have an elder brother to take care of me, but I am really appreciated that I have a younger sister, where we can share our thoughts, go shopping together, etc. Sometimes, it's fun to have girls together. It's really fun growing up with siblings. Also, I think our home is merrier when more people are at home. If I'm alone at home with my parents, it may not have so much laughter.

I have a son now, and I do not think I am going to have another, even if our economic conditions is getting better. Like you say, I hope I can put all my care on my son, to bring him up to be a positive, optimistic guy. I think there are other ways to make him feel less lonely. And what we do now is striving for more money, striving for better living stanard for him...
Have a great day and happy mylotting.

Yes we should pay more attention on bringing up a kid. Nowadays parents are busy supporting their family and striving for earn more money and they ignored the negative effect upon their kids. The ways to reduce the loneness feeling can be varied such as teach them how to make new friends, try to make them feeling that u are their closing friend...

I prefer nuclear family then extended family. Because there are many advantages in a nuclear family although there have disadvantages. In our family we are five members, my father, my mother, my two little sisters and i. I think our family is not extended. My father and my mother love us very much. We also love them very much. So i think nuclear family is the best although have some disadvantages. When i will get married i will prefer two kids in my family.

I can see how happy your family is! It is lucky you have your two little sisters and i believe they can bring a lot of fun. For most of people they prefer to have two kids in their future. in my opinion, one will lonely, two is just enough and three will be troule, haha~

As of now, me and my wife have a one child. Its a boy. There was no specific plan actually but in my mind, two would be great. However, at this point in time, I think we will just stick with one child and perhaps that's it. I could see that its really hard nowadays. I wanted to give my child comfort and good education as well as other needs and wants. If I have plenty of children, I might not be able to do that considering that to raise a child right now, needs money. I know that we can always provide them with unlimited love and care, but food, clothing and shelter definitely involves money.

I already have kids, a boy and a girl..and i am pregnant right now, so it would be 3 in all and i am already planning to stop after this. Having 3 is already enough, the house gets crazy plus the we are not capable of having more financially. But when i think of it, it is not bad having more kids because they give me happiness no one else can offer me... if i would not think of money matters but nowadays we have to be practical. But it is up to you if yo ucan handle more. hehe

My husband wants 3 and I want 2... I told him I would compromise... If we could have 3 kids with only 2 pregnancies. We already had 1, and we are working on the other 2. Any suggestions?

I want two children if i can afford it.Since the cost of raising a child is higher than before and money,today,is not easy to earn,so i'm not so positive of having two though i want to. Sometimes money decides the choice and you are forced to change your mind.

that's depends on my energy ,and abilities ,especially my financial situation.sometimes you couldn't realize what you want to do.
but just for imaging ,I prefer two children no matter they are boys or girls.I hope they can help each other when I am too old to look after them.

I plan to have two children, because the cost of living in Indonesia is increasingly diffcult, having two kids for me just because we didn't spend alot of cost for their education. Beside that to support family planning program in Indonesia

Can't you people do something to change the stupid rule? Two children seem to be everyones favorite.

I plan to adopt childnren. I haven't decided how many, maybe two or three, but I do not want to get pregnant and have my own. I have believed for a long time that the world is overpopulated with people, and its better to give an exsisting, homeless child a home rather than create a new one.

In India there is no such restrictions of one child.According to me i will have only one child so that i can love my child more than anything in this world.After all love and care is one a parent can give to their child.....
