Apparently she had a C-section, maybe that means she should take a break from having kids.
OT: I think two is the right amount because one means very little social interaction in the house and more than two can mean it is hard for the parents to take care of them (I should know as I am one of three kids) and any more than that is contributing to the population crisis.

One. I hate kids, I never want to be a father, and i don't understand this horrified look i get from girls when i say that to them.
Lord send me a woman who hates children just as much as i do.
On topic... If you can cope with the horrible, screaming, wailing, drooling, parasitic pustule you call children then i suppose two or three would "suffice". Going over three is pushing it, but i think the absolute limit, even in Asian cultures, should be around eight. Having too many is just wrong in my opinion, it makes them susceptible to Maternal Deprivation (Circa Bowlby's MDH theory)
Besides. You heard the saying "Two's a company, three's a crowd?"
Yeah i think it applies to having kids, too.

When you start getting checks from the government just to support your kids. And if you can't give them good opportunities in life because there are too many. I hate those people.
either none or 2. there are too many damn people on this planet already,so from that stand point i would say it would be most prudent to have none.however,if,when im older i start to feel something lacking in my life and i end up married to someone who wants kids ect ect then 2.i dont really like the idea of having an 'only child' and (no offense meant to people on here who are only children)but in my experience they tend to have less social skills than kids that have siblings. so 2. if a couple only has 2 children then they are replacing themselves.however,if a couple has enough resources and time then i dont really see a problem with having 3 or 4,its just people without those resources that cause the problems.
oh ye,and i fucking rage so hard whenever theres something on tv about a family with shit loads of children,and theres always some dumb shit,piss poor ***** on there going 'i just love kids!i wanted more babies so i had them!'i mean how fucking self centred,you love kids so therefore have shit loads even when you cant give them all the attention and support they need. these people dont seem to realise that their children will grow up and become adult members of society needing to be supported by the countries infrastructure with a house,a job(or welfare...)probably a car ect.

I think 2 would be best, 3 alright, and 4 tolerable.
Anymore than that and you've got some crazy lady saying she's a "natural mother".

1-3 is about right in a post-industrial nation, where kids tend to cost a lot of money [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1916278,00.html] to raise.
A dozen or more is more common in largely pre-industrial nations, where your kids double as cheap agricultural labor and so they actually pay for themselves.
Of course, if you're an irresponsible SOB [http://www.overpopulation.org/] who has something against the idea of birth control [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiverfull], you'll breed like a rabbit regardless and be a source of considerable controversy [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadya_Suleman].
Bottom line, creation has indeed provided a wealth of impressive organs that it's our responsibility to use well and vigorously... however, as pertains to the use of our reproductive organs, one should also respect that we have been given a much more complicated organ whose one and only function is to moderate them all: our brains.
If your goal is to push a philosophy of complete dumbassery through your kids, 1 kid is probably too many.

Bugger that, if you can control them and afford them and still have a relationship with your husband/partner then sure.Demented Teddy said:
Personally i would say maybe 1 or 2. I would love to have a girl and boy. But the chance's are i'd end up with 2 of the same. I guess it all depends on our lifestyle in the future.
Three seems to be enough but when or if I do have kids I would just have one. Parenting would be hard, why make it harder with another kid?
