[quote=Anonymous]OP, I know several who wanted only one. In many cases it was because of a variety of factors--finances making it too much of a strain, one spouse having health (non-fertility issues), the child having special challenges that meant parents really wanted to focus time and resources on that child and didn't think it made sense to have another. Also a number of friends who have one are only children themselves. I think being more familiar with it makes people more comfortable with it as a reasonable choice. I have to admit that I would never have made that choice--but then again, my parents each have several siblings so I have a huge family! And I love chaos and noise. It's just a mindset, very influenced by your own background, but of course the right answer is different for every person and every family.[/quote]
