[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow three pages and not a single post telling another woman she has the wrong number of children. Must be nice for all of you. [/quote]

I know you are the angry poster from the 3+ thread and I want to gently suggest that you stop relying on strangers on the internet to validate your life choices. It doesn't matter if anyone here approves of how many kids you have. This area, and thus this board, trends toward women having kids later and therefore having fewer. So it is no surprise that bias exists on this board towards fewer kids.

If you are happy with your family, that is truly all that matters.[/quote]

I'm actually not that poster but one of the many other moms of three who were insulted on that thread. [b]In fact someone on that thread pointed out that you never hear moms of many telling moms of 1-2 they should have more kids, and this thread proves it. [/b]Maybe the lesson here is you should worry about your own families and not start fights with other women because you disapprove of their choices. [/quote]

Ha! Mom of 1 here. I assure you, of the hundreds of moms who suggested our outright told me to have more kids, many were moms of 3 or more. Moms of onliest receive the harshest judgement by far. Not saying others don't feel judged. But let's be real. [/quote]

+1. No one bothers moms of 2.[/quote]

Correction. No one bothers moms of 1 boy and 1 girl.[/quote]

This was accurate for me. When I told people I had a boy and a girl often I got this sigh of contentment and people said "perfect!" and it was a little weird. People make such a big deal out of gender. [/quote]
