Simple question. What's your design for future? Or what about now? What's ideal? I really like to know the nation's suggestions about family size. Please write why do you have/ want the numbers of children.

It's nice to meet you here too :) Congratulations about your pregnant!! Which month are you now? Yes I know it's expensive to born a child... (sounds so crazy!) My cousin has 6 childs the youngest only 3 years old, the oldest is 18... He is a newswriter at the best economic weekly newspaper in Hungary, so they can give everything what needs for their childs. I'm so sad it's depending on money.

I would want 2 children. I am not married yet but after i do, i really want 2 children. Like a daughter first and then a son. I think 2 is the best number for any family because, the growth of the family can be maintained and the size will also be ideal.

Originally my partner & i wanted 2 children :) After we had our first child (now 15 months old) things kind of changed, my partner is happy with just the 1 but i think i might like to have 3 kids! For the moment we only have the 1 & might try again soon, if things continue to go well for us financially etc. I'm in another nation so things here are different as well but from people i have seen lately, here in Australia, it seems to be common to have more kids - we have 6 nieces & 2 nephews from just 3 siblings (4kids, 3kids, & 1 kid) - i see people all the time with 3 or more children too. Having more kids must be coming back in either that or people just like the idea of a larger family. I think 2 would be good for us but if we could have 3 then i would be happy with that!

I think that it is best for a family to have less number of children, that having only at least 2 children would be less expensive for a family and they could take care of their children, with today's increasing inflation and cost of living, having lots of children would be very costly. with increasing gasoline prices, rice prices, with increasing prices of basic needs, like food and housing, it would be advisable to have just at least one or two child. I think I would just stick to having one child only, but if however I can have a second child, then that would be the last, I have one child now, my wife wants two, I think I would defer having a second one until my salary would rise to very comfortable levels. most ideal number of children would be two - three, having more would entail sacrifices, to provide for education, clothing, and food for your family, two - three would be the ideal number of children. china is adopting a one-child policy, and having only a single child would be given government support, I hope the Philippines would also have a program to control family planning.

Considering the growing population, as of now in india the policy is 2 children per couple. But considering cost of living and busy life schedule most of the couple desire to have only 1 child. But according to me each couple should have 2 children. Our culture is such that we give lot of importance to combined family. We grow together, learn together sharing each others feeling. Mine is a complete family with a sun and a daughter.
