[quote=Anonymous]I have one, and it’s because I had health challenges caused by childbirth injuries plus a DH who turned out to not really have the bandwidth or ability to parent. He isn’t a bad parent, but responsibility for a child has revealed his limitations. These are not things I would ever share with anyone when the more kids/why do you have an only/“just one?” conversations pop up. No one wants to hear about my invasive and only partially successful vaginal surgery or my husband’s mental health challenges! So I know that given the lack of visible reasons, people with more than one kid wonder what’s up with me. I feel embarrassed sometimes when I’m around people with lots of kids because I feel less capable or less brave or just plain less for having one. Some of that is crap others put on me, some of it is crap I’ve told myself, and some of it is the truth. [/quote]
