If it were up to me. . .one. Of course it would depend. There are going to be women who have more than one kid when they enter into the system. A good example is a woman I used to work with. She had three kids and was a stay at home mom. Then her husband cheated on her, they divorced and he became a deadbeat dad and refused to work or pay child support. So she went on welfare for about a year and a half. She ended up getting a decent job and eventually got a really good job. But she had more than one kid when she got into the system.

But in my mind if you have one kid and go on welfare, clearly (for whatever reason) you need help caring for that kid so the responsible thing to do is to not have another kid.
