It's not about the number. It's about your bloodline. Your genes. Your ancestor's heritage. It's about the long-term survival of your people, and your culture.

Any society with <2.1 birth rate is guaranteed to go extinct, forever. There are no "do-overs" in evolution, once your genes are gone, you're gone. That's why it matters.

Every person should be striving to have as many babies as possible, to have their genes thrive and prosper. Anybody who refuses will simply be culled from the gene pool and replaced by people who aren't retarded.
