I dunno, I don't really think about it all that often but if I did have children, I would definitely want to have at least 3, maximum 4. I'm the middle brother (32, just about 20, 16) and although the age gap is quite big, the three of us get on really well. I think it's kind of, I dunno, inconsiderate to just have one child if you are planning to have a family, in the sense that only children have a kind of limited upbringing. They don't learn social skills that those with siblings do, in my experience, like learning to share, understanding the value of money (obviously that's a relative thing, but I mean that only children are the sole focus of their parents' parental affections, so they get more from their parents than those with siblings do) and learning certain manners and habits...
