The Maddest Truth

[kushcdlinstructor]

I have 3 kids thinking of having more since I am financially capable, I like idea of a big family.

As a child, I had 4 sisters and a dog. Dogs are good for developing a good immune system. I'm more adjusted and healthier than many my age. No allergies (Ok Dust and in my 
31-year-old age London Plane trees but very mild), good weight, etc. We were all puppies together!

I think having 4-5 kids is great for sustaining an average large family. 6 or more kids is considered a very large family which I’m not saying this in a bad way. I really like the idea of having a large family.

I am a single child I will die as a lonely person whit my husband so I want to have 7 kids or more. So I can fill my heart when I was a very lonely kid.

What about people who can only afford one kid.?? Daycare for one kid is $1000.

I want 2 kids if wife agrees with good time management, good financial condition else 1

Peterson is not well informed. Only children achieve better and are as well socialised as any other child according to the evidence. Siblings argue as often as they get on. Only children learn to make friends well as meet just as many kids as those with siblings. They also have "rough and tumble play" with children in school and nearby friends. One is categorically easier than two according to the vast majority of scientific studies.
