To not want another child?

[Tweetytweet]

We’ve got a 4 year old son who is healthy and happy, but has signs of neurodiversity. He really hates noises like babies crying and pure his hands over his ears.
Both myself and his dad also have ADHD/ASD traits although not officially diagnosed yet.
I struggle to work due to my mental health and my partner has a low paid job so we claim some UC.

Anyway, I’m getting non stop comments from family and some friends, even strangers about how he needs a sibling and without one he’ll be lonely.
My mum is the worst and drops comments constantly. Bearing in mind they don’t live nearby so wouldn’t even be around to help me!

Tell them that it’s none of their business. You as a couple know what your limits are, no one should be trying to guilt you j to having another child. I also get these comments as I have an only DC, and he will be staying one, your reproductive choices are yours. Happy to lend you my steel spine if you need it!

I have had these comments too and my little girl is one and will stay one. From some, I believe they think I am younger than I am but our reproductive life is nobody´s business. I remember someone insisting, but but are you going to let your kid have no siblings?????? (shock, horror). Yep, that´s exactly it. She will at some point create her own family if she feels so inclined or not if she doesnt. Bearing in mind two ex boyfriends I had absolutely hated their respective brothers, it doesnt follow they will get on. And anyway I do not stretch my limits.
