[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I decided long ago that we wanted only one child. We have her - she is beautiful, sweet and smart - and we feel so very blessed. I am SHOCKED by what people say to me about our decision to have just one child! I was an only child and I had no idea there was such judgement out there about having just one child!!! I have been told that I am doing my daughter a huge disservice and that she will grow up lonely and insecure (I was neither). I have been called selfish and self-centered although not one person has ever called my husband selfish or self-centered. I've even been told that we aren't a family if there is only one child. I never volunteer the information but everyone seems to ask when we will be having the second. Seriously, you see one baby and assume there must be another?! Has anyone else decided to have just one child? If so - what do I say to these people? [/quote]
