Hello.
There's an article in The Telegraph today saying that we're becoming a nation of only children, with almost half of all parents having just one child.
The Telegraph article suggests that many parents are "stopping at one" largely because of the mounting cost of bringing up children.
Do you think this is true?
If you're a parent, do you only have one child? If so, is that by choice or not? And if it was by choice, how big a part did your family finances play in that choice?
And what are the implications, if any, of a generation of onlies who've had no siblings to squabble play with?
MNHQ STOP PRESS: 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.
Do read what she has to say, too - and post your comments here or over on our Bloggers thread.
