It depends on the income of the family..

For me if you can't take care and provide your kids the basic things like an education, proper shelter and good clothes, always wear condom. So that you don't even mistakenly bring a child to suffer

But for me, 4 will do

no... Every married couple dream of having male and female kids...
If only one could choose her children's gender before they're born.
Most couple end up having 6 kids because they're looking for a particular gender be it male or female.

1 or 2 maximum. If you want both genders. Really I don't mind just having one either male or female. There are plenty children who are looking for parents. The world itself is overpopulated
