I'd have two... then if there's an accident, i'll either have three (which is bareable) or i'll still have one left. My god, what an awful thing to say.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could carry on breeding for years and years... then we could have one kid, wait 16-21 years til they move out then have another one over and over.

I'd like to have two kids. No more than two. One would be ok, but I think he/she would get lonely without a brother/sister.

I have 2 kids and though I'd like more we've stopped. I get too sick when I am pregnant. We might adopt though. I have two boys one is almost 3 and one is almost 1. I love having them that close too because they are really good friends even now.

Having a child with another person just means you're forever attached to that other person. Generally when a relationship expires as people get older and change, you wanna be done with it and get on with your life and to the next best thing, but when you have kids, you're always going to have to see that person and deal with them. I just don't see any real reason to do that to my life.

my first post and its still goin. I am proud! ZG made some good points to strenghen my chioce for 2 children, mainly the filling the ride thing. Its a wasted seat if you have 3 of you, and 5 in the family means someone has to wait, or sit with other strangers.

Are there any "only one kid in the family" out there to respond to that silly notion that having an "only child" equates being lonely or too spoiled? I'm friends with several "only children" and they seem quite well adjusted and happy. And very close to their cousins and relatives.
Just curious...it seems like a fine idea.
