Having another child

Hi mummies, wanted to get some of your opinions. 1. What is a good age gap between 2 children? 2. Do you think 2 children better than single child? Why? 3. Will you consider having another child when your marriage is rocky?

1. To each his own. Personally, I'd prefer at least a 2 year age gap so tt my first is more independent. I'm currently pregnant with my 2nd who will be 3 years apart frm her brother. 2. Again depends on your agreement with ur husband and perhaps ur own siblings might influence this. All this if finances aren't a big problem. Personally, I don't like being all alone but 2 for me is just nice. I myself have only 1 younger sister but my husband prefers to have 3 or 4 as he himself has 2 younger sisters. So best to talk it out with ur hubby. For us, we eventually decided that for the first 2, we deliberately plan it out. And we want to be able to still go on multiple holidays so 2 kids are just nice, not so hard on the pocket too! For the third, we'll likely wait till we get a bigger house but tt said, my age is also catching up, currently age 34 pregnant with my 2nd. So I'd perhaps settle with at most 3. Furthermore I've gone thru csect, and will be soon too again, so I'm kinda afraid to stretch tt wound further 😅 3. In my opinion, best to sort things out abt the marriage first. It isn't healthy to continue the marriage without dealing with tt first.
