[quote=Anonymous][quote=dancingsunflowers06]Hi there- I completely understand where you are coming from. I agree with the post that recommended just letting the idea of one child sit in your mind for a bit (I know time isn't on your side, but better to really know!) A friend of mine with 5 kiddos once told me that [b]you would never regret having more children. It's true, it's just not an easy job.[/b] I always think about our kids being grown and having grandkids around the table. I want my children to have the support of one another growing up. It is a lot to consider, but once you feel at peace with your decision, you'll just know! I don't know if you are a praying person or not, but that's how I make these type of decisions. Kind of takes the burden off of me and lets someone else decide. Bless you girl!

While this may be true for some people, I really don't think it's fair to say it's universal.  Few are going to admit to regretting their child, and will totally acknowledge the joy that child may have brought along with the challenges, but it doesn't mean that that same person wouldn't have been happier in the long run if they hadn't had to deal with the financial/emotional/physical toll that expanding their family took.[/quote]
