Sure people make rude comments about it in the same way people snark on anything that is a less common life choice. But there aren’t fifty gazillion threads about “should we go for the fourth + kid?” For a variety of reasons, 2 vs. 3 kids seems to be a dividing line that people get really sensitive about.

I donMt know if you are right, but one reason for less posts about a 4th or 5th child is that very few people have 4 or 5 children… many have 2 or 3[/quote]

Or 1 vs. 2. You think the comments about having a third are bad, they're nothing compared to the comments accusing you of being selfish and ruining your child by not giving them the gift of a sibling. [/quote]

I don’t think this is true on DCUM[/quote]

No, DCUM is usually more subtle and passive. For MY family we NEVER considered only having one because TO ME a sibling is the most important gift you can give your first born. FOR ME, parenting is my biggest joy and people who don’t want more more more kids must not enjoy parenting as much as me. YOU do you, I’m just speaking for ME.

Sure, Jan. We’ve heard it before.[/quote]
