How many children are enough?

If your country only allows one child, then I guess you already have your answer unless you are planning to move. One does not have to mean lonely. Are there cousins close in age or close friends. Be sure they spend time with each other so that she has others to lean on when she gets older. This is a very individual issue and I wish you well whatever happens.

i think 2 is enough. the first is men, second a girl. but the best is assosiate with ur economic, when u r rich its not be a problem have many child. well, i have no idea with ur problem. do you come from china?

two would be better.yeah one means lonely.two means sharing.if you have two or more they will learn sharing ,understanding,discussing with their sisters/brothers.they dont feel alone as they are together.having one children some what problem they may feel alone and nobody to discuss,share.If they have good friends then noproblem

You are blessed to have one daughter. But it is sad that your country only limits you to one child. My wife and I have three wonderful sons and now we also have four beautiful grand kids (two boys and two girls). I would advise you to try and adopt a brother or sister for your daughter. Family is what makes life worth living. Children are the greatest gift of all.

In a world of overpopulation I think two is the perfect number. It also gives the children a playmate that they can grow with and develop a very strong bond. cheers,

I think for everyone the number is different. I, personally, would like to have two boys two girls.. If God would allow it. But there's no way to know. Plus, seeing as how I have no children now, I dont' know if I can handle four children. But I guess it would be different for everyone.

I am sorry your country does not permit second child. But in my opinion, we must have at least three children. The children should have a brother and a sister so that they will know brother and sister's affection. Moreover, when they grow up, they can share their thoughts, problems and happiness with each other. We cannot share everything with our parents or friends. For personal matters, we need moral support of our close blood relations.

For us, the correct number of children to have are the number that the Good God deems to give to us. I am so sorry that your country frustrates the will of God in such a manner as causing restrictions. From a secular view point I see many flaws in that thinking. The country is the Mother of the People, The Gov't is the Father....yet as parents they wish to deny children. the children will tend to be more spoiled as all in that generation are the only child to the family - spoiled children become demanding and selfish adults that will eventually rule the country. what happens if another child is conceived? the rules of the country promotes murder (infanticide)! or even if the child conceived is not of the desired gender of the parents. I am wondering if the Chinese practice of cannibalizing aborted fetus' for supposed health reasons is not an ancient practice but that it came about and was promoted as a result of the family limitation laws.... --- Such a law seems to be setting the country up for annihilation.

one son and oen daugter may be enaough adn that willl not cost too much when they are grown up adn nedd education, for thatlevel i think we can efort them for best education

Personally, I assume that 1 or 2 children are enough. Cause too many, you think that you cant earn enough to support them, while 1, you think that your child would want a sibling.

As long as you have good will and planety of patience the more the better they say!Children equals happiness!

I have a 15 year old daughter and a 10 year old son, and because of my job i have missed small parts of there lives but I still fight to be there for them. they are the coolest people on the planet to me and that will never change. I have had so much fun giving them advise on life and they listen to what I tell them and it has made things better for them and their growing experiences. It has also mad me a better person because I give a lot o thought to the things I do weather it's in front of them or away from them.

im a strong believer that god doesnt give you anything you cant handle so i belive its how ever many god blessed you with could be one two three or maybe even ten or more!!!!

I have two sons and I think that is enough, since I have become a single father I have had my hands full, it is easier now that they are teens and grown up, but I could not imagine having to have raised any more than two, I would have deffenatley felt more overwhelmed then I already did.
