I have two children, most fullfilling thing i have ever done in my life, raising a family in todays western materialised world isn't easy would love to have had more, but giving each child the time they need and being able to afford to educate them properly and take care of them the way i feel i need to, by having the best health care plan etc is important to me, affordability isn't the reason i didn't have more, it was more a time thing, I don't see the point of having them if you cant spend time with them, but there are plenty of good kids that come from environments such as boarding schools that turned our academically alright without a huge personal influence from their parents, but as its my time and choice i need to give my children the best opportunity's in life and as much personal time as i can find,so that hopefully they get more from me than just an opportunity to get a good education but thats just the way i approach things.
