Listeners respond: having few kids for economic reasons
On Monday, we heard the case that a one-child family is the best decision in these tough economic times. But our listeners shared personal accounts from every side of this complex issue. Some of you sang the praises of your larger families, while others gave reasons of natural resources and money to argue that family size should be limited.
