[quote=Anonymous]What I didn't realize about having one child, and stopping at one (intentionally, not that we have to explain that to anyone) is how much we'd hear "When are you gonna have another?" while DC was small. It was fine and expected and sweet from folks like our elderly friends at church and elderly relatives. And people our own age, no matter how many kids they had, were cool and never asked. But it was surprising how many strangers see a parent--mom OR dad--with one child and immediately ask if there's a sibling, and then say things like, "Well, maybe DC will get a sibling to play with!" It ended once DC was about preschool aged, but...lack of boundaries, people! [/quote]
