[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a shame that people limit themselves to one child so they can live in a small house or apartment in an over-priced area and afford private school if necessary. Having siblings is a good thing for so many reasons. Most of the folks I know who decided to "stop at one" did so because they're not willing to give up anything for their kids, rather than because they think it's the best environment for a child. Not criticizing. Just keeping in real. [/quote] You are criticizing. You began your sentence with "I think it's a shame", which means "I think it's shameful", which is criticism. I have no idea how your post is "keeping it real". All you appear to be doing is judging people based on what you perceive their motives to be. The nastiest thing about people like you who look down on others for their choices is that you think that those other people don't care as much about their children as you do yours, and that they aren't making decisions that are in the best interests of their families. Here's something you apparently do not know: just because people make choices that are different from yours doesn't make those choices bad. You might want to pass that on to your children, too, btw.
