[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weirdest are families with 1. They agonize and obsess over everything precious Larla does. Not all parents. But many.[/quote]

We are having our fourth and are more laid back than people we know with only one. Like the freaks at the park who follow their kid around the whole time. It’s straight up weird. I’m seeing more and more friends have 4 while still having a career and happy marriage and full life. Already the saying was “three is the new two.” Now that that study found that 4 is the ideal number, will it be 4?[/quote]

+2. We have a relative with one kid and EVERYBODY asks her why she only has 1. The tone of these questions range from mild curiosity to extremely judgey  and rude, treating her like she’s a freak. When I used to have 2 kids, I’ve had a couple of women say things like “you only have the two? No more?” Most people in our circle have 3+ kids, send all to private school and colleges, have nannies, family money probably, etc. It’s way less common and weird for umc/uc to have fewer kids nowadays.[/quote]

I NEVER ask anyone why they only have 1-that is so rude and insensitive. As a mom of many, I don't want to be asked questions like that and I don't ask them of others. [/quote]
