One child would actually be a kind idea for the planet. After your child outgrows things, if they are still good, simply donate them to a good cause. You could even buy many things for your child from second-hand stores. And you won't be overstressing the ecosystem even more, that way. Definitely something to think about for everyone - we all live here, and we all want our children to have a planet viable enough to live on, too.
No, you'd be surprised how little it would cost to have two or three children after you bought the stuff you need for one!
First child brings out your fear & lack of confidence despite abundant information, 2nd child brings out your natural instincts..that of affection & happiness.. it's a very natural phenomenon, nobody can help this!
The first child suffers a bit due to over-attention but so does the 2nd child.. who pretty much fends for himself/herself, works that much harder for only a fraction of attention.
And the parents? They are supremely happy!! With both & due to both.
