imho, there is no such thing as an ideal number of kids. the ideal number for me is the number i can support with my income, making them live a comfortable life, sending them to good schools and giving them, once in a while luxuries.

mahirap kasi dito sa atin, anak ng anak ang mga tao, tapos, hindi pala kayang pag-aralin. yung iba, pinagtratrabaho pa yung mga anak nila.

if your income can afford to raise up a dozen, then so be it, as long as you can provide them with the basic needs that they need.
