      When I was younger, my dream was to have 5. 3 girls and 2 boys but once I got married,

      reality struck and I had 2. But a few years ago, my hubby wanted another, we tried and
      so now we have 3 kids. I would still like 5 if I have a huge house, lots of maids to help.

        Before I was married, i wanted to stop at 2.

        But my hubby loves more. So now we have 4 : 2 boy , 2 girls.
        And I really enjoyed it. So i think , this is ideal.

            Depending on the temper of the child. If easy going, 吃饱就睡 & 胖胖 cute cute, this kind of baby I don't mind having 10. If tantrum throwing, mood swing, hard to serve kind, 1 already more than enough


            Ideally 3 kids would be perfect with the 3rd one having wider age gap, then mama won't suffer empty nest syndrome. But confirm now too old to give birth anymore. I will ask my brother if he can loan me one to 养胖胖 after he got married :rotflmao:

                I have always wanted to have two kids. One boy and one girl. However … heaven bestowed me with two lovely sons. Many people told me to try for the third one, but I’m really not keen.

                  Ideally 2.


                  But logical thinking 1 is enough. My current one is already a high maintenance needs which need constant interaction. Need my own private time too

                  Financial thinking, 1 is more than enough giving the high living standard in Spore and the rat race happening in Spore. More people are getting kiasu and sending their child (even starting from 18 months) to all sort of enrichment classes. Cannot catch up. Also wondering how to sponsor 2 or more to tertairy education if you notice all those studies (esp from insurance companies) on how much does it cost for education in 10 -15 years time. The amount is in term of hundreds of thousands.

                  Furthermore, in this new age, we won't want to depend on our child to provide for us when we are old. So we also have to build our retirement fund too

                  Thus 1 is good enough. Though I think the only child will be lonely. But we can be friends with the child too 🙂

                    So who can be their friend when our deadline is up?

                    :sad:
