[quote=Anonymous]It feels like everyone I know is either pregnant with twins or announcing their third baby. We've compromised at one-and-done, but I certainly do catch myself feeling jealous or wishing it were me. It's not gonna be me, though.

Anyone care to share perks of an only? Or ways to achieve that "full of kids house" feeling that I want to have as DC gets older? ("Give it a few years, your DH will come around!" comments are not welcome.)

Here are mine so far:

- We'll be energetic and sort of young when DC goes to college, and still be able to travel/renovate a home/do youthful things. 
- At sports games, I can stand on the sidelines with my coffee instead of chase a toddler all over the adjacent fields. And if I want, I can offer to chase someone else's toddler. 
- I can afford to take more trips and offer to pay for a friend of DC's to join us when we go on summer vacation. 
- Instead of going to ballet and hockey and piano three nights a week, I can go to just one or two things and take a class myself. 
- I can hep with homework and make dinner AND have time to read a book before I go to bed. 
- I'll never have to choose where to spend a holiday or which graduation to attend. [/quote]
