How many kids do you prefer to have per couple?

Just one can be too boring for me, two is okay. My sim currently is taking care of 3 toddlers and I’m going crazy cause the father is working during the mornings and she works during the night. At night the 3 are asleep so the dad has it easier but omg! There’s always 2 who are starving and the other needs a bath. I feed the other two and quickly bathe the 3rd and then the 2 finish too fast they go make a mess outside! The make mess is driving me crazy I’m making the mother yell at them to stop. They went out during A thunderstorm to make a mess and quickly ran inside a minute later, you deserved that you little buggers
