Question of the day: What's the ideal No. of children couples should have?

Our parents and grand parents had as many as seven children, some even ten or more but things have kinda changed now. So in this day and age what's the ideal number of children couples should have, no matter how rich or poor they are - just the average?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. As many children as they can afford ?

    The ideal number whether you are rich or poor should be four, as for me, I don't want more than three.

    As many as they can afford - that is also factoring future expenses and their current and expected investments.

    However, 2 children sounds ideal to me.

    I think two is ideal. It creates the right balance between happiness(oh i have children) and stress(emotional/financial). Anything more than two would depend on how financially capable you are, how the kids turn out etc.

    The reason why lots of piple hav dozen of kids is their quest for a particular sex of child.a lot of men and women want a male child due to some reasons..women want a male child for next of kin while men want a male child who can possiblely make their names last when there are gon. For me, I and my hubby will hav 3kids which ever God bless us wit!

It is important children are raised and taken care of fully having 7 or more and I don't care if u are a billionaire is just obscene. Taking care of children doesn't just mean money but being there for them emotionally and in all ways possible........we live in a society where the feeling is well as long as u can send them t sch and cater (money wise) for kids its ok.... well its not!

    Have the Numer of children you can cater for... It's dat simple. My tailor had 3 kids. 2 girls and a boy then decided she wants another boy which happened to be twins. A boy and a girl.... She cld hardly send d previous 3 to school and now there are 5 of them. None of them attends school anymore and she's always looking for some1 to pay their fees or buy them food stuff. I have a child and I plan on having 1 more. I could afford to tk care of more bt there's a level of luxury and achievements I plan on having for my kids and I ( holidays, education etc) and having more than
    2 kids wnt achieve that. In summary, cut your coat according to your size.

    Anything beyond 4 is too much no matter your financial capacity. The world is too populated already. Couples need to be principled enough not to have more than 4 kids. Some Igbo couples tend to keep giving birth all cause they are looking for a male child. My bestie comes from a family of 8, they are all girls except the last child who is a boy. P.S: I'm Igbo

    2. There should be a law that states that if a family does not meet an income threshold, they shouldd only be allowed 2 children. Atimes, it breaks my heart when I see small children suffering on the road. I often ask myself why people bring children into the world to suffer, which I find utterly unfair.
