My daughter is turning 8 in January.
She's the most wonderful things that's ever happend to me.
I'd like to at some stage have another.
But for now she's an only child and there's nothing wrong with that.
I think it's more than okay.

According to our world population ONE is enought

ONE is minimum
TWO is maximum

I have three and now, when I look back, one seems so easy in comparison.
I guess it just depends on what you are comfortable with.
Do you want your child to be your single focus and do you want to be able to shower one child in anything their little heart desires?
Do you want to have one for each hand? Two kids means you're evenly matched, one for each parent. Do you want your kids to grow up with at least one sibling that will be around for years after you yourself have pssed on? Someone to share their childhood with and teach them the ups and downs of having a constant companion?
Do you want to make things endlessly interesting? Having three kids means you are now outnumbered. Are you a glutton for extremes.... wild fun good times and loud, crazy argumentitive times? Three kids ensure there's always something going on, but there's also always someone around to talk to and to lean on.
Do you want to be sure no one gets left out? Do you want each child to have at least one person to play with or sit near or talk to? Four can even the odds.
With each additional child the dynamics change. Only you can decide what you want your family to be like and what you think you can handle.
You need to be sure you aren't stretching yourself too far so you can still devote one on one time with each child and yet seperate yourself enough that they learn to think for themselves and learn the beauty of being independant, yet at the same time, lovingly integrated into a family.
Only you know where that threshold lies. Mine was at three. My mom's was two. My grandmother's was at seven. Her mother's limit was thirteen, but I doubt she was able to make a true choice about that..... life has certainly changed for women hasn't it?
Enjoy your right to choose to limit the size of your family and don't let anyone tell you to do anything different from what you feel in your heart is the best choice. It's your family and your life. Do what you feel is right.

Are you asking if one child is okay? Of course. In fact, NO children are okay. You don't have to have a set number of children. If you just want one, then just have one. I only have one.

if thats what u want, i guess 1 child would be ok.
my cousin who is an only child would tell u to have more because she was lonely growing up.

I dont see why not, however, would get boring for your child..2 is perfect, then they could keep each other busy...
