How many kids will be just right?

I say the best amount of kids to have is 2. That way neither will become overly spoiled and both will have a lifetime friend. Being an only child can get boring sometimes, and often they are more spoiled than children with other siblings. I want to have 2 children, if any. Three is ok too, but I feel any more than that would become too much to handle. I mean, whatever happens happens, but 2-3 is the perfect range for me.

I have two kids, I would like to add one more but we have no luck.My wife and I are contented with what God have given us.Maybe He thought that we can not handle one more.It depends also with the parents if they can provide everything the children needs.

Actually, the number of kids depend on the capability of the parents. If you think you are healthy enough to be able to give birth to four children and your husband feels that he can provide well for them, then why not? It's a happy family if you have a big family. In our family , we are all 5 girls and we area happy family. Unfortunately though, we only have one child. How i wish, i had at least 3 children .

I think a good amount of children would be 2. I have 2 a boy and a girl. Any more then that becomes a financial hardship. I know there are people that love to have lots of kids, but we all have to look at the financial end also. What can the parents afford. Also, people should not be looking to have children if they can't afford themselves.

I do not think there is any right many of children for a family to have. As long as you are able to care for your children and you are all doing well it is right. then some people love children and have many, as others want more time own their own have one of two children. Then there are people who do not have any children no matter how much they want to have children. I have two daughters and three sons. I haver two grandsons.

Hello!My attention was caught by your question... I came from a big family, we are 6 in the family. My parents doesn't have a stable job to raised us we need to help them in order for us to live a normal life. Since that I'm already married, I already have three kids. I think it will depends upon the situation or it depends upon the status of your stability of your work to raise kids and of course the needs of your family. Since that my husband is has no stable earnings, in our family having three kids is hard to raise because my salary is not enough for the three of them. If your husband can support up to 5 kids in your family why not. God bless you always...Mitz

I grew with one sister five years older than me. I think a sibling gap of two or three years is best. In my home country some people have two children and some people have three children. The average is 2.6 children I think. If the couple have two children then there in one to replace each of them. My sister has a 13 year old son, an 11 year old son, an 8 year old daughter and a 4 year old daughter. I had got a 16 year old son, a disabled 4 year old son and a 2 year old daughter. I like the two year age gap between my two youngest kids. Sometimes a pregnancy is a surprise. So a couple might have two daughters aged 11 and 9 years old then get a surprise pregnancy so end up with three children even though they planned two children. They got that extra baby son. I believe two or three children is best. If a few families have four or five kids it is fine but not all families having that number.

I think 2-3 kids is perfect. My first one is on the way right now. I think there are more than enough people on this planet and we don't need to increase the population any more, but should try to keep it steady; especially as we figure out how to live within the limits of the planet we already have. My husband and I each have 1 sibling.

Before i got pregnant i told myself that i will have as much children as i want on the following condition: 1. I am able to feed all of them without any financial difficulty; 2. I am able to give them all the necessary things they needed; 3. I can discipline them all and able to give them proper education; 4. Able to send them to the best schools; 5. And most importantly i can love them all equally. Lacking in one of those conditions, i would never ever have more than one child.

It doesn't matter how many children we have as long as we can afford it and can give them sufficient time, love and care. Children makes a family happy. But I guess the ideal is two. I really never planned to have even one because I was terrified of the labor pains, but I got pregnant at the age of 32 and never regretted it. She makes me very happy. And now another unexpected one is coming this September, It was a shock but I don't regret it. But I guess this will be just fine having two children. So I think two would be enough. But still, it all depends on you both.

I have neighbour who got 5 kids. I see him all week long sitting outside in the garden doing completely nothing while his kids make demolition of all the area. As for me I'm in committed relationship. Before I wanted to have one child but when I see that every year I become more and more busy there is no place for kid. If I would decide that I want kid my situation should change. I'm all the time stressed and work more hours than rest. This is not proper environment for a healthy child. I need financial stabilisation and I have non for a while because I just start working for my self few months ago.

I am the youngest son of my father's marriage. We are 9 children in othe family. I guess this is a big family, we enjoyed so much because we are many but sad to note that not all of us are finished in college due to lack of parents income. So, Ifever I have my own family, I have to bear children at least 3 so that I can send them in school especially in college.

I grew up with three brothers and its awesome!! they really were there for me no matter what and we are so widely varied in age...my oldest brother is 28, im 25, my younger brothers are 18 and 11...lol. I feel that having siblings gives confidence and also helps prepare you to be social and make new friends..

I am technically an only child and my girlfriend/future wife has 3 siblings. I feel 2 is a nice number and probably the easier to manage because they'll have some one to play with and to depend on and such. Although, there is the scenario where they both hate each other and that is a very possible case. If you can 4 would be great because if it comes to the loneliness part of it they always will have at least someone in their corner and if one hates one of the others the rest could help dissolve that hate. The money situation well kids cost a lot lol not gonna lie but if you really think you and your hubby can support 4 kids at most go for it hand me downs never hurt anyone.

I think it depends on our capabilities, financial stability is one important factor. We only have one child as of the moment. We want another maybe after 2 or 3 years. I think the maximum me and my husband can handle is 3. I want a spacing of 2 or 3 years so that our child and future child or children could enjoy being the family's baby for couple of years. I'm also in my early 30's now and having more than 3 children is not advisable. Pregnancy would be risky and also me and my husband would be senior citizens even before our fourth child finish college.

Before I had my children I wanted to have a baby daughter and then a couple of years later a baby son. I imagined two children was the right number of children to have. I got married to my Australian boyfriend and we had a baby son born when I was 22 years old. My marriage lasted just six years before we got divorced. I had another relationship and had my disabled son when I was 34 years old and my daughter when I was 36 years old. So my oldest child is almost grown up and my younger two are kids. I believe an only child can get feel alone where as two would make excellent company for each other. I think that a two or three year age gap between siblings is ideal.

Me and my wife has only one child. For the monent, we have no plans of adding another one. I guess what is ideal in our case is two. More than that would be many already for us. For me the basis for having such number is the support, most especially the financial aspect. Many out there, do not care and we see a lot of children suffering and even at an early age working already, begging in the streets and doing stuffs that children should not do. I do not want my child to grow that way. As much as possible I want him to grow as what a child should be doing... play, learn and enjoy. Perhaps there is no specifics on how many children should we have, its not a matter of numbers but whether we can support them well and provide them the right kind of care.

I think that the number of kids really does depend on a lot of things and will certainly vary from family to family. We're not all the same after all. I think that you and your husband should have the number that you feel most comfortable with, and feel that you can provide for, and such. Some prefer having a lot of kids, while other prefer only having one or two. But this should be up to you.

I have two kids and i think two is perfect because they give each other good company and they are affordable too. In this period of inflation it is very hard to raise kids. It is better to raise two kids nicely then to mess up with more.

A lot of people have responded to this discussion,for me,I only want one,based on the situation I'm in.I have a younger brother and a younger sister,so I don't know how it feels to be the only child,so I think that I can foucus on my baby,but if I have more of them,maybe I can't love them as equally as I can.I'm sure a lot of people have noticed that in ou lives,there are always grown-ups who would complain to their parents that they were not loved as much by them as other children.We all know that after we become parents ourselves the fact is,we pay more attention to the children whom we think need more of our love. So I really want to give my baby a chance to have all our love.
