I'm trying to make the final decision if I'm happy with one child. I'm 98% sure I am. Dh is happy but would be approachable if I wanted to discuss a second.
Ds is 2.3 and I'm 39 so now is decision time. Also I'm reacting badly to the pill and considering the coil.
I feel like I am happy with one and that a family of three allows us to balance our time well and all three have hobbies and interests as well as work etc.
I think I'm only wavering due to society's attitudes and the way so many people rave about siblings being the most important thing ever. I only know one family with an only by choice who is around my ds's age.
Also, I know people who had awful pregnancies or births or pnd or difficult babies (colic /reflux) but we had none of that. It's been pretty ideal really so I don't have any "excuse" to not do it again.
So.... Can you help balance things? Can you tell me why you chose one and are happy with that?
