59、hy, happy child, are facing a dilemma, that is, the issue of whether to have a second child or not. They have hard jobs and limited time and money, but they want to make sure that their only child does not become a lonely child. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of having a second child?
60、 That is what so many couples are very much concerned about and eager to understand.One popular saying is that one child means a lonely child. Thats why many singlechild parents plan to have a second child. They feel guilty about their decision to have only one child, because there are no other chil
