Of course you should have the number of kids to reflect what is acceptable in your social circles, bleh.  This type of thinking comes from someone with herd mentality, a sheep that follows the crowd and doesn't have an original bone or thought in their body.

Op do what you are comfortable with.  One would be great.  You have more time, energy and money for that child.  I have a sibling who I don't talk to, we are not close at all.  I am left to do all the elder care as well.  Having more children doesn't guarantee you anything.

From what I can tell people with more kids like the chaos, noise and busyness of having more kids.  If you get overwhelmed or stressed then one would be a better fit.

Of course later in life yes elder care falls onto that one child but you can plan for that and with more money outsource rather than depend solely on your child.  Do what makes you happy.

I have heard that if the first is a great kid the second is usually the devil so be warned about that.[/quote]

Usually those parents are pretty checked out.  Either the oldest raises the kids, parents play favorite and usually the youngest or 1-2 get ignored or all get ignore.[/quote]
