What is the best number of children to have?

I like 2. My kids have each other. If I need to sit down in my room and take some time to regulate myself my kids have each other to play with. But 3 would be too much for me personally. But I am also a single mom.

As the second oldest of 6 and oldest girl, i say either one or 3+

I can only speak from personal experience, we were had in sets of 3 (no twins or anything just a larger age gap between the sets of 3). Having an extra person on council to discuss the others behavior has kept us all closer to one another in the long run. There's definitely teaming up and phases of getting along better with one than the other but now that the older three of us are adults with marriages and families we are thick as thieves

I'm an older sister, my brother is 3.5 years younger then me and my sister is 20 years younger.... (she is 1 year older then my son lol) and I love it.
I don't think I'll have more then 2 tho, but I guess you never know

I have 4. 2 kids is definitely the sweet spot lol. I love all 4 of my munchkins but I am definitely super burnt out. I thought 2 was hard while I was living it but looking back i personally think it is the perfect number. 1 is challenging , 3+ is also challenging. With 2 They have a built in play mate , you and your spouse are not totally out numbered & the load is still manageable.

I have 3 & if my situation was different I would have had one more.

I have 7 soon 8 and this will be my last we are not have ‘em because god blessed us to ppl we just always wanted a larger family I don’t think there is a magic number I think it’s all in what works for you and your partner.

We have 4 and expecting another soon 🥰
I wouldn’t tell anyone how many children they should have bc idk what they can handle🤷🏽‍♀️

I have one child who is 6, so personally I think one and done or two but with a large gap so that both children still get plenty of your time and attention.

For me the best is one and done. All our time, energy and resources can go to one child, and I don’t have the desire for another. We feel complete as a family of 3.

As many as you 1. Financially cope with 2. Mentally cope with 3. Have space for 4. Physically cope with

I am less than 0 percent interested in more than one child.
