[quote=Anonymous]We have only one child and she will remain an only child (by our choice). We had discussed this before marriage, after we got married, before we tried to conceive, after I got pregnant and after the birth of our wonderful daughter (currently 1 year old). So we definitely talked about it a lot and we're confident in our decision. We have a certain lifestyle we want to lead and opportunities we want our daughter to have that wouldn't be possible if we have more children. Also, I really don't want more than one. I can handle one kid, one husband, 2 cats (ok maybe another cat). I'm not sure and I don't want to test whether I can handle another kid. DD is at the age where other moms with kids around her age are starting to get pregnant with their second so we are getting questions. I tell them that we plan to have DD be our only child, I don't really go into details or try to explain our choice. It's our choice and we feel we've made the right one for us and our family. In full disclosure I'm an only child (yes, I did love it). My husband has an older sister. [/quote]
