Lots of people have lots of kids, and lots of people have just one or two. What do you think is better? and why?

two kids are enough due to financial reasons. dont want to be burdened with lots of hungry mouths to feed. and i might not be able to send them to college and im sure thy would be messing alot at home.

Right now i'm still not married and doesn't have children yet. But when the times come, i would like to have maybe 3-4 kids. It's sad if you only have one child, just like me i'm the only child. I don't have brother or sister, i grew up lonely. I eventually learned to treat my cousins as my brother/sister. It's better also to have more children so when you get old there are many who will take care of you. Just like what the saying, "the more the merrier".

I personally don't want any kids. I've never wanted children. I think people should have however many they can afford and are able to actually raise themselves.

Well, I don't think I like the idea that having a lot of kids. Raising children is a hard work, and it costs much. If you get many children to raise, you have to struggle your life harder. In my opinion, two children will be perfect, one boy, and one girl. :) I don't have any child yet. And I hope I can have two in the future.

It depends on how your family life is and how wealthy you are. To be honest I would like to have lots of kids, but not from the same women. But I would love that all of my kids to live together with me and all of the women who are the mothers of my children to live with the children and me. But I know that is very unlikely for this to happen. But I would like to have a minimum of four children, and all of them to carry my family name. I just love children and I also want to enrich my family, for having more chances to have a continuity of our family. But I would want lots of children if I could provide them everything they need. It would be useless to have many children and they would have to suffer from insufficiency of any kind.

As I have only one kid, I think it is better to have one or maximum two kids. My view is that the earning remaining the same it is very difficult to maintain a family of too many kids properly. Moreover there is a time factor. You would find it very difficult to devote enough time for each of your kids if the number is high. Considering all the pros and cons, we decided to stick to the theory of one baby & frankly speaking we are a very happy family.
