[quote=Anonymous]Yes - many people!

- Actually, a woman I work with with a grown kid just told me all about her life decisions today and it was so interesting and cool to chat with her. She seemed to sensible and thoughtful and happy and is expecting her first grandchild. 
- One of my best friends - 9 yo
- My parents - I think my dad wanted another but not majorly. He is happy with just me...or he appears to be!
- My cousins - when I was in my teens I remember trying to convince them to have another. They were kind to me in explaining why not and were clearly unified about being one-and-done - that kid is a teen now
- Another colleague has a preteen and I distinctly remember asking her how many children she had when we met and she said loudly "ONE IS ALL YOU NEED!" and it made me laugh and feel so much solidarity
- Three of my old college roommates have one each and thought they're all toddlers both have said they are seriously considering one
- Me and my DH - 10 yo

I don't hear many people say they feel pressured to have more than one. I got a lot of questions, and some nosy people said obnoxious things to me, but I didn't feel pressure. [/quote]
