But if they are of different sexes, you can't really make a smooth substitution, can you?

I've lamented this situation for many years.
My wife and I had Summer, and that was all. I've spoken of this in advice before. Someday, Summer will need to have a brother or a sister and won't.
I'm talking about when the time comes, you know.

Have 3, because one may be gay or sterile or celibate or catholic priest or children disliker

that way population remains stable

I expect my children to take care of me, God knows I will probably have to take care of my father, whom I cant stand, because he rents and once he is 65, and retired he wont be able to keep paying the rent, so i will have to take him with me.

I think 2 kids is the minimum.

Actually, you need as many kids as possible. The majority will end up disrupted and with broken lives, but those few who'll manage, will pay you a great retirement
Both my mother's children turned out to be artists. Poor her.

Clearly, if she had had 8 kids, at least one of them would have become a respectable businessman.

I really was 5+. I doubt if I will have that many... as I am getting older.

Successful humans propagate a lot. Depends how you define "success".

And it also depends if you're in a depressive trip, thinking you'll be childless for the whole of your life, and hence that you're worthless as a human being (hint: it's false)

My brother has one boy and I (well, my wife and I) have a boy and a girl. My brother and I talk about the differences in rasing two vs. one all the time.

His son already has a hard time playing with other kids since he doesn't understand some things are not his.

His son is forever asking to come over and play because, normally, he has no young children to play with. He can't play like a child wants to because daddy doesn't have that child-like mentality anymore.

He's said he doeesn't want any more but he won't get the boys clipped. I told him, I did it and it was almost inconsequential. It doesn't hurt, there's no side effects... nothing.

Ah well, maybe he'll have the second one one of these days.

To insure future propagation you need to be able to provide for your kids education and to keep them from having aids (basically, allow them to grow up).

Propagation is an important part of the formula.

They propagate with their own long term relationships (wives/mistresses) enough so that they have money to give advantage as well as having lots of kids.
