How many kids should one have?

Re: How many kids should one have?

I think you just have to go with the flow.....you can't really predetermine these things can u?

Besides you have to see how your wife feels about it as well....since mothers are typically the main caregiver AND the one who is going though the 9 months of pregnancy, delivery, and bodily changes!!!

Enough to do all the chores on the farm.

Re: How many kids should one have?

not true, most places do not allow single men to adopt, although they do allow single women to adopt.

dont see guys crying about that discrimination..

Re: How many kids should one have?

ok then... well at least I can still adopt and Inshallah i will

Re: How many kids should one have?

Well my husband says one is more than enough :D

Re: How many kids should one have?

Re: How many kids should one have?

Re: How many kids should one have?

I’d be happy with two… :blush:

Re: How many kids should one have?

Depends doesnt it...like someone said just go with the flow...theres no point setting targets...You may have one and decide thats enough or you may have two and 10 years down the line want another one...its about how you feel at the time...
Im an only child it doesnt bother me and for some kids they may long for brothers and sisters...i enjoy being the centre of attention with my mum...you cant generalise on a kids needs and neither can you plan ahead...
Even people who say they never want kids can end up changing their minds...

Re: How many kids should one have?

^
it's interesting you brought up being an only child.

from my observation....I have noticed that the girls ( who are the only child or with only brothers) long for a sister subconsciously..... whereas boys are quite content with having no brothers and do just fine with having friends only.

i have two sisters who i am very much close to and I never looked for deep sisterly-like friendships with any other girl cause of it.

Re: How many kids should one have?

^ i have 3 brothers mashallah...so as you said above, i did long for a sister...but not anymore...i have learned to be happy with what i have, plus my brothers are sweethearts...

My elder brother/bhabi are going to have a baby girl soon...and i m very very excited.. :)

Re: How many kids should one have?

Two are fine for me
but then if i have two guys or two girls and my husband would want one more just in case i can settle on the third one but not more then that...

Re: How many kids should one have?

I m Blessed with brothers & sisters MashAllah, & we have no problem we are living a Happy Life. Having brothers & sisters around me I feel really great

Re: How many kids should one have?

i think three kids r alwirght because then u can bring them up better

Re: How many kids should one have?

ok really wierd question....when ur tired of having them stop. theres no set or right amount. when u have a couple ull automatically know its time to stop

Re: How many kids should one have?

That is SO true for me. I have 2 much older brothers and i ALWAYS wanted a sister. And i do have close friends that r as good as sisters to me but it still isnt the same. Thats why i was so HAPPY when i had my daughter cos i felt when shes older inshallah we'll b really close. :)

Re: How many kids should one have?

No CG! I am already happily married and have kids as well. I pretty well understand what not to expect. :D

Re: How many kids should one have?

Really! Check with your husband next time.

I love kids, however, I do realize the limit of the emotional and the material support I shall be able to impart to my kids.

Re: How many kids should one have?

I am sorry if I appear like that.

Re: How many kids should one have?

A man who has only 1 child isnt really a man. Certainly not a jatt. Tradition requires Jatt's father atleast 4 children.
