When do you think you will start planning for number 2?

It's depend on the parents themselves, see if they are ready or not. I seen many parents just rush into it, and end up divorce after 2nd kids. I have seen many parents not ready for no2, and the mother don't have help from husband, end up depression, or being unhappy and many complains, end up the kids is suffering instead. When both the parents are ready for no2 and can give ur full attention to 2 kids without making them feeling isolated, and you know you can cope with the terrible 2 or 3 while having no1, and won't affect your feelings or emotion that much, and know you and your husband are not having any problems that will cause you to divorce after no2 or quarrel or make ur relationship worst, it's the best time! Some people have no2, but the family is going to break apart soon, than what the point having no2 when the family is going to break apart. It's doesnt bring anything good to no1 nor no2. Financial part is a very individual problem, some can survive well with the average income with 2 kids without much problems, while some can't even survive with average income*2, end up having to stingy baby health and food, (seeing pd is exp, that why ppl always ask whether is there a need to see a doc instead of just going straight to the doc), result in the baby growing not with the fullest. I mean many can spend on themselves but just sting towards the kids. Just my 2 cents thought.
