[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even though we chose to have two children, some people only want one. Whoever keeps dragging up that argument about having more just needs to deal with it.

If you are so caught up in other people's family dynamics, life is obviously very, very hard for you. I suspect you are overwhelmed with how ever many you have and are taking out on others. Either way you really need to get a life.[/quote]

Uh . . . sure. Except this is a forum about parenting and the choices and trade offs people make. The purpose is to discuss family dynamics with other people. If you find that too intrusive, then don't participate.  This excessive defensiveness about choosing to have one or more children is unwarranted. I find it interesting that none of those carping on about how their choice to have a single child was best for them, their lives, their preferences, etc. have not spoken to whether they considered whether it is also best for the child. I suspect that's what most of the heavy pushback is about.

Look, the time is past when women were expected to stay home and crank out kids. Unless you're expected to produce an heir to the throne, no one realy gives a toss about how many kids you have.  So stop carrying on as if the very idea of questioning why someone would have only one child is an attack.
