[quote=Anonymous]Have one (15).

Wanted 2+ very much. No infertility. 1 was more than my husband initially wanted. I hoped for another for many years and he held firm and since I love him and our child and value our union which we both compromised to be part of, we have 1.

Now I have a wonderful child whose current age has always been my favorite age. My husband is a good dad. We do the best we can and have everything we need and most of what we want. We both have fulfilling careers and our child can do any activity they choose with our full support (including both of our attendance at games, for example). We all are able to bring 95% of ourselves to what we do (school, work, vacation, boundaries, relaxation or me-time, etc...), and that is fulfilling.

I would have loved to be a mom of 2+ especially at future holidays. But I am a mom of 1 great kid and my career is far more fulfilling than I imagined it would be, and much more of my identity than I'd ever dreamed (this is healthy and great). I can't be assured that I would have had any of what I wanted if I'd chosen a different family life. So here I am. Happy, sometimes wistful, but very satisfied.
