How many bedrooms is adequate?

A house should only need 3 bedrooms as couples should not be allowed to have more than 2 children.

The planet is full and people breeding like feral rats isn't helping. But people seem a bit too thick and too selfish to realise that one child to replace the mother and one to replace the father is ideal.

And what about people who have one child and twins? would you have us taken out and shot??

You have issues. There are not that many people 'breeding like feral rats', giive the rest of us a break!

Why?.
A bedroom can be used for so much more and provide you with a better living experience.So the more rooms the better as far as I'm concerned.
We have four bedrooms,two that are a realy good size so we use these as our bedroom and a spare/come dressing room.The other two are used as a study and a work room as I do a lot of craft stuff /sewing.
I could'nt live with just one bedroom even though there's just the two of us now.
I love the space.
Any less space and I would find things getting awfully untidy.

Your "ideal" should be more than 2 children unless you want a declining population, which would bring all sorts of other issues. Some die before having children, some can't have children due to infertility or not being able to find a suitable partner, and some choose not to have children.

Although I am of the admittedly unpopular opinion that people need to think very hard after a second pregnancy: I too see the point in more rooms (if itsaffordableto the room owner!). Possibly that is coloured by living ''en famille'', having flat shared as an adult and because we'd love to foster/adopt.

No it's not 3 room apartment - it's 3 apartment house/flat (each apartment is a room) I know - it's a bit daft that the terminology is different up there - but you do get used to it, if I remember rightly - if say you needed 4 bedrooms and they had a 5 apartment (3 bed/living room/separate dining room) you would be expected to utilise the dining room as sleeping accommodation. Ofcourse that was quite a few years ago - and it may have changed since then.

I have a 2 bed flat and have been told that my living room (which has the door to the kitchen off it) should be used as a bedroom if more space is needed. Technically I can have 5 adults living here, before 'they' consider it 'overcrowded'.

Is one of the bedrooms small? I just wonder why one one adult in one of the three rooms other than bathroom and kitchen but two in each of the others.
