One Child Enough Or Two?

My friend and his wife had their only child in their 40s and they are really exhausted, especially his wife. Though his wife is a sahm without helper, she’s 24/7 busied with a kid as she does everything on her own. I see their child growing up well. I’d think family upbringing is really important. Somehow their child develops faster than peers also which is something I never thought of, given that he doesn’t have other similar age sibling to speak to or play with. Perhaps the main caregiver has a key role in this too like how she engages her son every single day. On the other hand, I have friends with 2-3 children but they themselves aren’t able to provide fairly for all the kids. So I believe it’s up to you and your family :)

I am 39 this year, i have my first kid at 23 as a single mother , until i met my husband 6 yrs ago which is also my first love, we plan to get married this year, but i got pregnant unplanned last year and give birth to a lovely daughter my husband and i planning to have a more kid hopefully is a boy ,so that factory can close, my husband say if the second kid with him is still a daughter he is ok. But than i am already 40 if i plan to get pregnant, it is all by yourself. Just follow your heart. All the best.

2 if you can manage. Fun for the kids to grow up together, but taking care of 2 children is a different ballgame compared to having just 1. A lot tougher. So you would need to mentally prepare for that.

It's really entirely up to you and your husband, both must agree on how many kids both if you want. Many things to consider sister especially raising kids in Singapore (:

I had my #2 at 40 🤭 coz I would like my #1 to have someone to discuss when the 2 old ones are not around. Both will have each other in future

2 is a good number but if it has risks on your health and baby #2, I'd say 1. Don't worry about what others say. Health comes first.

Hey, It really depends on the comfort and choice of you and your husband. But yes you can definitely consider having 2 kids as well

Actually really depends. If you are healthy and all.. Go for 2.. If not 1 is enough.

If no hurdles or issues, 2 would be nice. One can get lonely and spoilt.

Preferably two child so that they have siblings to confide and talk to
