Do you plan to have Children?

If so, how many Children would be "Just Right"?
Parents of the 1960's averaged 5 children. Too many?
Might be easier to get a pet Poodle

Everyone should be trying to stick to a maximum of 2 unless they can afford more. 😈

@LilPuckBunny The average cost to raise one child is $250,000, to age 19. Which will only go up in the years to come.

@Gusman In the US there are 107,918 foster children eligible for and waiting to be adopted.
In the UK there are 1,135.
46,000 in Australia.

@LilPuckBunny UK seems to be doing something right if there is such a small number in relation to the US and Australia

@Gusman Smaller population.
There's only around 430ish families trying to adopt those children apparently.

@LilPuckBunny UK Population, 66 Million.
Australia, 25 Million

@Gusman I think a lot of it is the arduous process involved.
