Honest opinion - what do you think of parents choosing to have one child?

We have a 7 year old DS and no fertility issues that we know of.
We have still chosen to have only one child.
I guess I’m just wondering what other parents think?

I just do not think about it.

I would say I think its none of my business... but I don't think about it.

Genuinely, absolutely nothing. Literally no thoughts positive or negative. It's completely unremarkable.

Literally nothing!

I have zero thoughts about other people’s fertility decisions.
