They are right. Have 2 or 3 and keep savings for yourself so you can take care of yourself in your old age. If they support fine if not still fine. Please have few children so you can take care of them and leave retirement for yourself as well.
This is a very wrong couple giving people very wrong advise. Your children's behaviors ore attitude towards you, or their parents depend on their upbring. If you raise your children without preaching or inculcating the bonding spirit in them, or you feel like you loved one better than the other, you are creating future problem(s). I am from a family of eleven children and most of us are in the USA. We brought our parents to the United States. The parents took turns staying with all their children and enjoying their grandchildren. Even when these parents are in the village, the married daughter take turns to visit. Also, the eldest daughter feels like it is her responsibility to make sure that the parents are well taken care off, because the finances are not a problem. This is why also, women prefer to have the first one or two children as females, because they provide the needed help to their parents, especially mother at the crucial stage. Things to note here include: 1) unity in the family, (which depends or is based on the upbringing of the children by their parents) 2) Irrespective of how much love you have for your wife, or the male children have for their wives, they should be made to understand that the entire family comes first. 3) If a troublesome wife is brought into the family, the rules and regulations should be made clear to her or them. If the brothers or children are united it will be very difficult for the bad wives to break that bond holding the husband's family. Remember also that there are many women out there to marry if any wife proves resistant; but any feud between family members lasts for a very long time and could result into one being ostracized in his own family. 4) There is a saying that you can have only one person called your mother or father, who had you in her womb for nine months, or a father who provided for the family until the children grew up. If the mother passes-on you do not have a mother again, but a stepmother or stepfather who are not actually your real parents. therefore, the need to unite the children at an early age.
