A new report suggests that nearly half of all families now have only one child.
Another sign of economic struggle and the increasing cost raising a family - or a conscious choice by a new generation of parents who know their limits?
In a guest blog today, MN blogger and mother of one Stephanie Pomfrett (who blogs over here) writes about her decision to be a one-child family - and why she won't be adding a sibling to the mix.
Is this your family set-up - and if so, what influenced your decision? Are you under pressure to conform to the 2.2 'norm'? And if you have more than one child, are you surprised by these figures?
Let us know what you think, and if you blog on this post your URL on the thread.
