Having raised 2 and maxed out several credit cards along the way, I have to say NONE ... Save your money for either a wedding or a nice house, go on holiday instead of buying yet more toys for the ungrateful little sods, enjoy yourselves
I know it sounds selfish, but at least you're not adding to the world's problems by raising hooligans or hookers!

Honestly, I think it was intended on children being born in wedlock. The amount of children cannot be set. There is never too many or too less. Some think if you have alot of money then you can have more children, but in reality children that are raised poor, but with lots of love and attention benefit more than children with rich parents that spend most of their time at work to make the money. To answer your question: Rich, poor, single, married, or still live with parents doesn't determine the amount of children that you should have.It is all determined in low much love and care that you can give to each and everyone of them. It could be 1 or 10 just as long as you are there for them and raise them the best you can. Take care!

Married or not is irrelevant. I can only assume that out of wedlock still means with another person to support you and the baby/ies. It's quite odd that you haven't worked out this question with your partner. If you need assurances by yahoo members on such an important personal decision, then I highly suggest you put off having a baby altogether because your child will need highly confident and strong parents to guide him/her through life.
On the other hand if you are referring to getting knocked up and being a single mother by choice - well that's absolute madness!!!
I would highly suggest that if you are considering having a baby and living with your parents that you spend atleast three days with another single mother and I assure you that you wouldn't wish that much work, stress and worry on anyone.

Much on the same theme as previous answers, I feel that two is ample enough. It's up to the parent or parents to decide whether they can afford to bring another life into the world, can they adapt their lives around the child, can they devote the time and energy for the child. Loads of factors to consider before you bring a new life into this harsh world. Unfortunately not everyone considers any of the aforementioned, which is a sad indictment on todays society.

I don't think there is a right answer to this question? Out of wedlock I think 0, unless you are capable of supporting(financially as well as emotionally) a child on your on! When your married I think that depends on what you and your husband can afford and what your future plans are!

If you are in a stable relationship (married or not) Have the ability to care for the child & put a roof over all your heads. Thyere are NO guidlines to it. But I do hate the scroungers who live on benifits & have 10 kids. They do not work & have twice my annual salary.

The right amount of children to have in any situation is governed by
A. How many you can afford to bring up
B How many you and your partner want

the right amount of children to have is as many as you can devote time and love and raise them as a responsible parent with food, clothing and shelter

There is no "right" number of kids to have & whether you are married or not doesn't matter. As you, your partner &, most importantly, your kids are happy, then that is all that matters.

Two. Any more than that, and you increase the world population exponentially.
