[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Capitol Hill is the BOMB!  We love, love, love our relatively spacious open-plan 3 bed rowhouse with a nice-sized backyard, commute (25 minutes walking door to door) to interesting jobs, our stumbling distance neighborhood park, and the many restaurants and shops within walking distance.  And, two GS 15s make plenty of money to send our one child to private school if we decide we're unhappy with our well-regarded (walking distance) public elementary.

Okay, we're very lucky - I admit it!  And, a big negative for us is the lack of any family nearer than a lengthy plane ride away . . .

[b]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[/b].  [/quote]

And I think it's a shame that you are so stupid, and self-righteous to boot.  "Most of the folks I know" who decided to stop at one did so for very sound, very personal reasons that are nobody else's business.  Why don't you just stick to hauling your 8 kids around in an SUV in your plastic suburb in your oh-so "real" and enlightened life??[/quote]

Before you judge, realize that there are some women who don't have a second pregnancy for medical reasons. I'm still mourning this, and comments such as yours sting.[/quote]
