I love my family size (I have an only) but also get that it's not for everyone. The only thing that is annoying to me is when people idiotically weigh in on the size of my family without thinking about all the many factors that go into those decisions (age, money, fertility, availability of support, mental health, etc.) that can vary greatly from person to person. Sometimes people will make this comments about my kid being lonely or whatever and honestly they don't really bother me because I know it's not the case. Like anyone who thinks my kid might be weird or selfish or lonely because they don't have a sibling is kind of dumb because anyone who meets my kid will see that they are none of those things. But I don't like when people poke at my decision to only have one because I definitely wanted another one at one point and it was sad when we made the [correct] decision to stick with one. I don't want/need people who don't understand those dynamics weighting in or passing judgment. MYOB.[/quote]
