Granting that you are financially capable to raise kids, how many would you have?

if i am financially capable of having kids, i would love to have as many as i can. i love kids, i want to see they growing up. learning to talk and play around. because kids for me are god's little angel.

i guess you are gifted with more patience and understanding. raising children is no easy matter, raising them in a good manner makes it more difficult. people like you should be emulated.

Both me and wife have agreed to have two kids, previously I want three but she only wants two. Oh well kids are kids, and we should be proud of being the parent and proud of having kids.

2 to 3 kids seem to be the norm don't you think?

i would like to have one or 2 and not more than that, afterall women too have their personal life, they too need some time to spend on themselves or you just want them to be surrounded by lot of kids and deteriorating her health.

If you are capable, the best thing is to have 2 kids. At the most three. It is not the money alone. You cannot raise your kids only with money. you need to give equal attention and love to all the kids. Surely not one. it will be hard on the kid.

i share the same sentiments with you. but mind you, i've seen parents who raised more than 5 children - and not one was neglected. pretty neat don't you think ?

I have three kids. But I would of liked to have at least 6 or sevan kids. But my body doesn't like carrying babies. So that threw that dream out of the water.

One child. I already have him, and he's all I need. However, if my birth control failed, I would just think the gods had decided I wasn't done having kids yet. I'm not ready to do anything permanent to my body to keep from having more kids, which I suppose means it's always possible I'd change my mind. There are a lot of reasons I only want one. Even if I had the money to support more, I feel that I'd rather spend a lot of time with one child than have to split my time. Also, I have a sibling, and our relationship has been really rocky, and often physically violent. It's something I'd rather avoid with for my son if possible.

I have heard that from some only children, but I've also heard others say they were grateful they got so much attention from their parents. I guess any type of family is going to make some people happy, and not others. Really there's no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to families.

i agree. the parent's love is the key to a healthy family relationship.

Yeah. I have friends who are an only child - and they wish though that they have siblings.

I already have my share of 3 kids. Now, I am telling my children to beget only a child each. The world has become very unfriendly. What with pollution, contamination, over population and destruction of environment leading to the thinning of the ozone layer! The more the population, the more the populace becomes irresponsible to take each one's yoke in the care of this lone planet we have.

over population thats the problem of a lot of countries. while for others its the reverse.

Hard to say. There's a chance I'd have 1 and be done. Then perhaps I'd have one and just wanna keep having more. LOL. But at this time I think about it and feel like I'd want to have just 2 boys and 1 girl. 3 sounds about right.
