Anyone genuinely not mind not having anymore?

It seems there's a lot of reasons why people can have the one child, health or partner doesn't want another one or money. But is there anyone that actually does not want anymore and their partner/hubby doesn't either and have no regrets and no guilt and their child is happy and wouldn't want a sibling anyway?

I am glad we have one, dd isn't bothered she has no interest in babies. Even though I have health problems I could risk having another one but why put myself through that.
Everyone gets broody it's only natural, it's natures way of wanting you to reproduce.
My dd is 9 I am 31 and she is practically reared now and we are so over all that baby stage, it was such a pain being so tied down all the time.
We don't want another one and there's no other reason behind it other than we simply don't want anymore, one is enough.

Anyone else feel this way?

I think that is so rude-TreeandMistleJoe, I really despise people that ask me that question. And in our family EVERYONE has at least 2, even my niece who is a decade younger than I, is telling everyone she is planning on having another. Well Kudo's to you world, I'm going to keep my sanity, and have only ONE!

we haven't had too many people asking when we're having 'another'. i can understand how it gets on people's nerves though. there's too much pressure to conform to the 2.4 standard. sadly we can't all be boxed into that. family of 3 is good. my parents feel that one grandchild is enough for them anyway and don't mind us not having any more kids. music to my ears...

Is one child really the norm in many Europan countries? Which ones?

Me too.

One is quite enough.

And we're helping keep the population numbers down for the benefit of the more prolific .

I have one. I won't have any more. I just couldn't face it.
