Family size is a personal choice, but everyone seems to have an opinion.

Most people have a strong opinion about whether or not they want children, and if so, how many they want to raise. Although many Americans are fascinated by reality television programs and news stories about families with a dozen kids or more, most people are satisfied with one, two or three kids.

But what do you think? How many kids, in your opinion, are too many?

One is too many. I don't want any kids, so the thought of even one is scary to me.

Two is too many. I enjoy having one kid. It allows me to focus on him / her exclusively, and I can still have a life away from my child.

Three is too many. America is designed for the family of four, and once you have five, everything becomes more difficult. Plus, you have to own a much larger car to accommodate three kids.

Four or more is too many. I manage / think I could manage three kids, but any more than that is too chaotic. Plus, the world is already overpopulated, so why do you need to bring so many more people into the world?
