The biggest fear for having a second kid is financial uncertainty. Unpredictable lay offs, high education and medical costs make life really tough. And most of the times mothers are forced to quit job to take care of young kids. Moreover children are life time commitments. They demand your time, attention and efforts for rest of your life. So planning well in advance is utmost necessary. Wion has stressed on an important issue yet again.
same. single child is the best. I have seen 2 of my female cousins being beaten by their older brothers, one of them even made his sister end a relationship near home and sent her far away from home (arranging her marriage) so that he doesn't have to share even the slightest bit of their parents' property with her. Another is a total psycho, and their family is psycho too, the sister sings so well, but they make them do all the house chores and not pursue her singing career.
Having a young kid now, it is very challenging in modern day. Beside financial part, time, health, and parents happiness also a sacrifice. It is a blessing for me to have a full fulling sleep as parents. I rarely have them. Find help is also challenging. In America, even as Asian, it is hard to ask help among families member to watch over a child for 2 hours. Community culture is pretty much an extinction. It is a lonely challenging road to raise a child. All the sacrifices to care for a child worn down our body. I have yet to find having a child as blessing. Hope I think so in the future.
Right now you're in the thick of it. Focus on your sanity and happiness while coping with the difficulties of child rearing. The blessing part comes later for many.

My mom kept telling me that I was making a big mistake by having just one kid. I always feel guilty even though my child is happy, has a lot of friends, well adjusted and a wonderful kid.
No do not feel guilty. Be happy. Don’t let society pressure you into having more kids. Having more doesn’t mean you’re going to be happy. I am one and done too with my hubby and we’re happy with our decision. We don’t let people tell us what to do and how to live our lives. It’s up to you! 😊
Both parents and inlaws want 2nd grandchildren, but they are not ready to take their responsibility even for some few hours in a day. Raising children create lot of pressure and disturbance between couple. They dont even consider it
Actually more people don't wanna have babies. Considering how perilous these times are. Society must stop romantizing marriage and having kids when people are incapable. It's just irresponsibility.
I believe the problem is in thinking to have a secured life for children.... Nothing wrong in going to a normal school having normal life Our parents didn't think about all these yet we are happy..... When everything is in plate children won't listen, lack patiance ,can't face small problems , upbringing will become a problem ....

What govt. has not able to do, private schools have done it very quickly by increasing the school fees alarmingly and made sure that parents don't have more than 1 child.
Before having a kid, a couple who lives in a city without parents and paying rent, they do well even on a single income and living a stress free life. They even are able to buy their own flat and have some savings in some cities on a single income. However, after having a kid, both have to work, wife has to go to office after having a kid, they cannot live peacefully, they can't sleep, they trouble their old parents (if alive) to leave their hometown and come to city to take care of the child. Those whose parents cannot come or passed away end up spending half their income on having a cook and a maid. It is such a pittance. All for having a kid in an increasingly westernised world where eventually kids will not care for their parents. Rather be satisfied on a single income, don't have kids, work for your needs and live a peaceful minimalistic life. The system is designed to help the rich get richer by making you work more and restricting your freedom, and your consumerist behaviour continuously incentivises them. Life is becoming increasingly lonely as we ape the west and all 3-member families I see are struggling emotionally, financially, as well as physically.
I do believe some people who make "one and done" desicion, because watching they're family act unfair to them, so make them trauma to have more than one child
Many people in Middle income & poor countries would love that the only reason for MOST esp in India to have kids is, social security that is missing in the country, which basically means when you fall sick, retire & grow old…u r ur kid’s responsibility !

As an example of the success of a low fertility rate, look at China. Its a first world country now and a superpower with modern infrastructure, whereas look at India which is overpopulated and still has third world facilities - this is coming from a patriotic Indian.
@@457anand my child is 12 and a part of my regrets not giving him a sibling sooner. When they're little they're happy to just have your company and be with you. But when they get older you start to see how a sibling could've been beneficial. Nothing's a guarantee though. We are all just making it up as we go along and take chances.
Agreed When you are a farmer, extra children are like more farmhands to help out with farm work. In a city however, children are like really expensive furniture.
How sad that people's reasons for having kids are more farm hands and workers. It is never about the kids, it's all about the money. No wonder so many kids hate their parents.
@@jrohit1110 Less population is also a disaster which is evident in western countries . Too many old people and not enough young people to work and pay taxes .

This is the need of the hour. Such change is much needed. it is great to know that people are adopting such strategies. also a great help for the environment and for the overall world!!!
Some may feel parents having 1 child are going to spoil the child. A place like China the government once enforced the 1-child policy and put financial penalty on families having more children. Now families are allowed to have more kids but they don't want to. Besides attending school, the extracurricular activities for the 1 child including after-school tutoring, art & music classes, sports would fill the week. It's tiring taking kids to different activities during the week. In China there is the added pressure of the Gaokao (university entrance exam) taken in the last year of high school which would determine whether someone would attend some of the best universities in the country. Some people still have large families for cultural / religious reasons such as the Christian fundamentalists in the southern US. As long as there is no expectation any of the kids would go to college or climb the corporate ladder. if someone goes to college for a graduate degree, he/she may delay marriage and end up with fewer kids.
In india educated or urban parents are choosing "One and done" but majority of uneducated or rural parents are getting into trap of looking for two child or better a male child . Cultural pressure is so much that you ignore the financial espect and get into trap. Finally it's personal choice.
It's not just about education & societal pressure. If you're okay with your grandchildren not having any cousins or siblings that doesn't mean they'll be okay with it when they come of age. It's a decision taken too early just because some people thought it would be better to depopulate the world for their personal convenience. & You must be aware that the fertility rate required for successful replacement of population is 2.1. I'm not advocating for some overpopulating states, but depopulating in less populous region shouldn't be the goal to tackle overpopulation in other region.
@@BeE_AriyaN I can agree with the last part of your argument but nit the first one. People hardly miss something which they never had. I never had a sister and I have a few friends who didn't have siblings. Believe me most of them think it was actually better for them and it would've been hard for them to share the attention because they've been raised that way.
@@iqramalik8114 I respect your personal experience & believe it to be true 👍🏻 My point was that, many people will still have 2 or more kids, so in a future situation single child when faced with a group of classmates who are not single child may feel the peer pressure in a negative way, but I can be wrong 😇
@@BeE_AriyaN -if no one has siblings like the norm starting nowadays they will interact with their neighbours kids and bond with them -who also might be the only kid so it not a big thing compared to the time and effort parents have to make and sometimes sacrifice which they keep complaining till the end of their life
This is the powerful and contemporary reporting from WION! Lack of time because of time invested in earnings, and not having enough time to connect with kids is a crime to parents & kids as well.
Then also forget about uncles , aunts and cousins. Look back on Chinese history and see where they’ll be in the next ten years because of this one - child policy. Parents need to keep life simple then. We spend too much money on crap we don’t need anyway. And you always needed to “connect with your child”. Not just today 🤦♀️
I think having one child is enough in this day and age , I believe that when you have multiple kids sometimesm I feel Ur not able to offer the best to all of them due to numerous extenuating circumstances. The consequence of our parents/grandparents having multiple children is at least one child will get left behind in some manner due to the extenuating circumstances
Well, for here in the United States for expensive to have a child when you’re talking a lot of money, most people can’t afford to have more than one.. the cost of child care of the child cost of everything to have a child here is very expensive and I can understand why most people only want to have one
In USA , having a child is quite cheap . Schooling is free in USA . The problem is even low income parents want to send their children to expensive private schools even though they can’t afford it .

She will be very lonely at age 40 and at that age she will be desperate for marriage and no man will want her . Believe me life becomes very lonely and meaningless without family and kids . There is a reason that human beings have families and kids . Human beings are social animals and are not meant to stay alone .
@@bobfaam5215 What an oversimplified view. People get married after 40 all the time. Also, who says she would want to marry a man? Maybe she's a lesbian. But then again, maybe she would prefer freedom to marriage--it doesn't mean she would be lonely. Have you ever heard of friends? She could have pets for companionship as well. Also, she could adopt a child if she wishes. There are groups, clubs, organisations, etc. which she could join. She could enter a commune or a convent. Or maybe she prefers spending time alone. Some people enjoy solitude.

@@grafplaten People get married at 70 years too . But these are exceptions and not the norm . And women hit the wall at 40 .

In today’s day and age it is very difficult to make friends especially in cities . As people are too busy in their jobs and work because they have to pay their bills and people are too busy with their immediate families ( spouse and kids ) . So people don’t have much time to socialize . Also in cities , it’s very difficult to make friends as people don’t easily trust strangers . Also regarding , She prefers freedom and solitude . What is the use of Freedom if you don’t have any family or loved one to care about . Go to any Old Age home and see for yourself how miserable and lonely the old people are because their family does not speak to them . They are desperate for human companionship . Too much loneliness and solitude drives a person crazy and suicidal . These is a reason that Human beings are Social animals .

It's all depends, at what age people are getting married. If one gets married at early age they have choice of making 2 or 3. If one gets married at 35 and above it's better to have 1 child considering various factors
its not the heavy expense. i can raise a kid going to a government school and let him live his own life. But my wife and her parents will want everything best for them like study at best school etc. I cant take that burdern for 2. I will do that with 1 child and be done with it. Btw i love my son the most
give me 10 billion dollars and a mansion nd I will raise two kids. If not, THEN GET THE HELL OUT OF MY face. Goblin Mode! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH REEEEE hhahaha
I am having another baby so that my son gets a sibling. I regret not doing earlier it’s the best feeling. Problems and financial issues will come and go but I have realized how much my son is missing not having sibling he can lean to.
I agree..it's the best gift one can give their child- a sibling.. this is priceless.. most single kids go for 2 kids when they have their own...as they always feel they missed something during childhood..
Thank you so much for saying this...I too took the exact same decision few years back and had my second child, although they are born eight years apart, I know they will there for each other always. All these issues are coming nowadays because we don't want to teach our kids values like sharing, gratitude, forgiveness, love and compassion etc.,which was a natural part of life in earlier times. Money cannot buy happiness. This has to be understood by all
Studies show that married men are happier than single men. While single women tend to be happier than married women. Marriage also shortens the womans lifespan whilst increasing the mans lifespan. So, its clear who actually benefits from marriage.
Well, this trend will help Climate change in those countries that have too many people already as we need to stabilize and reduce the global population as a major part of the efforts to address it.
Same here. Though it has pros like inheriting the wealth and all but i swear i am facing so much difficulty mingling with people in my 20s now. Idk if it would have been better if i had a sibling but just saying being a single child is no fun
Why do people want to bring so many lives to existence , when they itself are suffering on this earth .. Is it Just because you need someone to take care of your old age ? Aren't you people selfish?
School are very expensive in Indian metro cities. You need around 50 lacs rupees for school (medium level) expenses till class 12 excluding coaching, other expenses, govt schools are very poor in India. You need atleast 30-40 lacs for higher education So single child can cost you more than one crore rupees in metro cities like banglore, gurgaon, noida, Mumbai, delhi etc.
I very shocked to see such comments supporting one is done. It should be the choice of parents n shouldnt be decided by facial thungs. If you think These trends wouldnt make the baby best future finanacially...but it will not ur baby HAPPY ever That person in its after teenage will start feeling most alone where he cant share his feelings with anyone alike.

As an example of the success of a low fertility rate, look at China. Its a first world country now and a superpower with modern infrastructure, whereas look at India which is overpopulated and still has third world facilities - this is coming from a patriotic Indian.
First World China ? Lol no, india do have first world facilities as well as third world it'll eventually change in upcoming decade.

@@457anand my child is 12 and a part of my regrets not giving him a sibling sooner. When they're little they're happy to just have your company and be with you. But when they get older you start to see how a sibling could've been beneficial. Nothing's a guarantee though. We are all just making it up as we go along and take chances.
Agreed
When you are a farmer, extra children are like more farmhands to help out with farm work.
In a city however, children are like really expensive furniture.
Well said. Furniture is one time expense, but child is every day expense.
How sad that people's reasons for having kids are more farm hands and workers. It is never about the kids, it's all about the money. No wonder so many kids hate their parents.
Happy to see society moving this direction!! Less population is a solution to many problems
Your population will be replaced by religious migrants who don't share your pro-extinction values.
That worked oh so very well in China.
lmao
@@jrohit1110 Less population is also a disaster which is evident in western countries .

How will they find workers for economy and healthcare or Armed forces ?

@Sentisenla-and add it to the OXFAM report
None and done, I believe in that.
Some may feel parents having 1 child are going to spoil the child. A place like China the government once enforced the 1-child policy and put financial penalty on families having more children. Now families are allowed to have more kids but they don't want to. Besides attending school, the extracurricular activities for the 1 child including after-school tutoring, art & music classes, sports would fill the week. It's tiring taking kids to different activities during the week. In China there is the added pressure of the Gaokao (university entrance exam) taken in the last year of high school which would determine whether someone would attend some of the best universities in the country.
Some people still have large families for cultural / religious reasons such as the Christian fundamentalists in the southern US. As long as there is no expectation any of the kids would go to college or climb the corporate ladder. if someone goes to college for a graduate degree, he/she may delay marriage and end up with fewer kids.
Christian fundamentalists stay all over the USA . Especially in rural areas .
And more of them stay in North and West USA
In india educated or urban parents are choosing "One and done" but majority of uneducated or rural parents are getting into trap of looking for two child or better a male child . Cultural pressure is so much that you ignore the financial espect and get into trap. Finally it's personal choice.
It's not just about education & societal pressure. If you're okay with your grandchildren not having any cousins or siblings that doesn't mean they'll be okay with it when they come of age. It's a decision taken too early just because some people thought it would be better to depopulate the world for their personal convenience. & You must be aware that the fertility rate required for successful replacement of population is 2.1. I'm not advocating for some overpopulating states, but depopulating in less populous region shouldn't be the goal to tackle overpopulation in other region.
@@BeE_AriyaN I can agree with the last part of your argument but nit the first one. People hardly miss something which they never had. I never had a sister and I have a few friends who didn't have siblings. Believe me most of them think it was actually better for them and it would've been hard for them to share the attention because they've been raised that way.
@@iqramalik8114 I respect your personal experience & believe it to be true 👍🏻
My point was that, many people will still have 2 or more kids, so in a future situation single child when faced with a group of classmates who are not single child may feel the peer pressure in a negative way, but I can be wrong 😇
and also to inrease the population and do gaz-wa e hind
@@BeE_AriyaN -if no one has siblings like the norm starting nowadays they will interact with their neighbours kids and bond with them -who also might be the only kid so it not a big thing compared to the time and effort parents have to make and sometimes sacrifice which they keep complaining till the end of their life
This is the powerful and contemporary reporting from WION! Lack of time because of time invested in earnings, and not having enough time to connect with kids is a crime to parents & kids as well.
@Tanmay V -correct may be when everyone stops having kids then govt might realize that there is inflation and no longer people to vote
In India it should be none and done for the next 5 years. Look at the population density of the country compared to a more developed one.
Then also forget about uncles , aunts and cousins. Look back on Chinese history and see where they’ll be in the next ten years because of this one - child policy.
Parents need to keep life simple then. We spend too much money on crap we don’t need anyway.
And you always needed to “connect with your child”. Not just today 🤦♀️
Fact✌🏻
I think having one child is enough in this day and age , I believe that when you have multiple kids sometimesm I feel Ur not able to offer the best to all of them due to numerous extenuating circumstances. The consequence of our parents/grandparents having multiple children is at least one child will get left behind in some manner due to the extenuating circumstances

This is the biggest mistake for India as Indian muslim are producing very fast and in lagre number .
Well, for here in the United States for expensive to have a child when you’re talking a lot of money, most people can’t afford to have more than one.. the cost of child care of the child cost of everything to have a child here is very expensive and I can understand why most people only want to have one
In USA , having a child is quite cheap .
Schooling is free in USA . The problem is even low income parents want to send their children to expensive private schools even though they can’t afford it .
Parents should cut down on splurging on expensive things like Buying expensive electronic devices which is beyond their income .
Or going to expensive vacations which they can’t afford .
The problem is people want to live beyond their income and means .
@My Name Is Choice I don’t know from where u or anyone got that figure .

She will be very lonely at age 40 and at that age she will be desperate for marriage and no man will want her .

There is a reason that human beings have families and kids . Human beings are social animals and are not meant to stay alone .
@@bobfaam5215 What an oversimplified view. People get married after 40 all the time. Also, who says she would want to marry a man? Maybe she's a lesbian. But then again, maybe she would prefer freedom to marriage--it doesn't mean she would be lonely. Have you ever heard of friends? She could have pets for companionship as well. Also, she could adopt a child if she wishes. There are groups, clubs, organisations, etc. which she could join. She could enter a commune or a convent. Or maybe she prefers spending time alone. Some people enjoy solitude.

@@grafplaten People get married at 70 years too .
But these are exceptions and not the norm .
And women hit the wall at 40 .
And unless she is MADONNA or Jennifer Lopez , it will be very difficult for her to find a good partner at 40 .
And Regarding Friends .
U expect outsiders to give you their valuable time ?
In today’s day and age it is very difficult to make friends especially in cities .
As people are too busy in their jobs and work because they have to pay their bills and people are too busy with their immediate families ( spouse and kids ) .
So people don’t have much time to socialize .
Also in cities , it’s very difficult to make friends as people don’t easily trust strangers .
Also regarding , She prefers freedom and solitude .
What is the use of Freedom if you don’t have any family or loved one to care about .
Go to any Old Age home and see for yourself how miserable and lonely the old people are because their family does not speak to them .
They are desperate for human companionship .
Too much loneliness and solitude drives a person crazy and suicidal .
These is a reason that Human beings are Social animals .
No children sets u free from all tensions...And tension and anxiety comes from bondages....

@Bob Faam-then the problem is living too long for those people else no issue young children not going to be born to only take care of old
It's all depends, at what age people are getting married. If one gets married at early age they have choice of making 2 or 3. If one gets married at 35 and above it's better to have 1 child considering various factors

i feel alone
i am just against this concept it is depressing and lonely to be a single child

@@ramv7314 bro legit this is my feeling as single kid
Siblings can keep each other busy, and have fewer worries for the parents. Caring for a single child is more demanding. lol
Thank you so much for saying this...I too took the exact same decision few years back and had my second child, although they are born eight years apart, I know they will there for each other always. All these issues are coming nowadays because we don't want to teach our kids values like sharing, gratitude, forgiveness, love and compassion etc.,which was a natural part of life in earlier times. Money cannot buy happiness. This has to be understood by all
Being single is the best option. Specially for men.
To each his own.
Especially for women. They could use some relief from abuse and nosey in-laws.
I dont want to be single forever
I love to have a family on my own someday and have kids.😄.
@@s.r301 these days in laws are afraid of daughter in laws. As constitution now gives power to destroy men and run away..
Studies show that married men are happier than single men. While single women tend to be happier than married women. Marriage also shortens the womans lifespan whilst increasing the mans lifespan. So, its clear who actually benefits from marriage.
Being single and stay good with one who comes close to u is better, just think how economically better without need for maintaining family ☺️

School are very expensive in Indian metro cities. You need around 50 lacs rupees for school (medium level) expenses till class 12 excluding coaching, other expenses, govt schools are very poor in India. You need atleast 30-40 lacs for higher education So single child can cost you more than one crore rupees in metro cities like banglore, gurgaon, noida, Mumbai, delhi etc.
Now it is challenging to raise a kid. Wow what a fucking time we are living in!
