She goes on to say; "You're playing at being Mummy you've dipped your toe in the water but haven't really plunged in and embraced the total chaos of parenthood".
I just find comments like this attribute the the negative assumptions associated with and broadcast about one child families. Her quote really sums up every myth and stereotype about Parents who have one child. It makes me so that she infers that we are not Mothers in the true sense somehow, or that we haven't "embraced chaos" - er she should have led my life for the last 2 yrs .
By all means if you desire another go for it but please don't put your negative shi* on me, I don't feel it - I am so happy with my life and Family and feel utterly complete thank you.
rant over!
