[quote=Anonymous]It's not quite "just small talk" when it's aimed at the parents of an only. It's a judgment on family size, intentional or not. Often the breezy "No, our family is all good!" reply is met with "oh, but it's so much easier when they are older" or "your child will just LOVE being an older sibling" or some variation of let me tell you why I'm right and your decision (or situation) is wrong. it's super obnoxious. I'm a parent of an only not by choice and I just hate it. But I get it, before I knew I was going to have an only, I used to assume everyone wanted more and ask this same question. it's just one of those things that you hope people will be sensitive to, but as someone else said, it's hard wired in us not to be.[/quote]
