We are stopping at one! I don't like being told "you can't just have one". It is our choice no one else's and I am tired of being asked why.

I planned on  having one and ended up having three!! Go figure!  But thats it and, yes, people are asking me about number 4....yeah right! Anyway...hubbys having the snip 2moro.......Jx

People asking stupid questions is just a fact of life - it isn't worth worrying over... However, if it is your close friends and family, tell them firmly once - NO, you don't plan to have more, and YES, their questions are annoying you - thanks for the concern.  (Put your very best smile on for that one).

I may have another one if I can in a couple of years - as I am not ready to sit around at home with another baby at the moment.  If it works it works, if it doesn't, we will move Jaydee nearer to his cousins to make up for not having siblings. 

It is a personal decision - however, if you want to have fun with it - reply to everyone (male and female), 'I was just wondering the same thing about you.' 

If you only want one then stick with that.  Later if you change your mind, then you can have more.  We have 4, though 3 & 4 were not planned, and we love them all.

Don't worry, we have made up for the population growth counter for you.  Knew we had so many for a reason! 

Seriously, it's your life, do what you feel is right.  We keep being asked if we are trying for a boy (got 4 girls) and we keep saying no and that there are going to be no more kids at all.  Made family unhappy, but they don't have to deal with them!

Be happy and enjoy your bundle of joy.

i think it's totally legitimate to have one child only.  sorry you're getting so much push back from the people around you.  i think the easiest way to deal with this is to let people know that three sounds like a perfect number for your family and that you'd rather leave the discussion right there.  good luck!

Make your own decision only you know what you do and dont want to do. Having children isnt a decision to be made lightly and you sound as if you have had a difficult time so do not try to decide over night...In the meantime try humour...

I'm keeping you guessing

What? You mean I can have more

We're still testing this one to see if its worth the effort

We havent decided if we're keeping this one yet

I like this one Im not ready to trade her in yet

When K-mart has them on special

I'll call you when we start, do you mind calls at 3am?

or stop them in their tracks with When hell freezes over

When the next one asks if you are gonna have another baby, tell them no, we think we'll have an elephant next. See what reaction you get?

we are trying for #2 at the moment, but before we started my uncle kept asking if we were going to have another one so that charlie wasn't an only child,   since we have started trying he keeps asking my dad now if we are pregnant,

i personally think that its a question that really shouldn't be asked all the time maybe once, and i don't think its fair of others to be always asking and putting just that little extra pressure on couples.

that's just how i feel about, it is the choice of the couples if they want another or not

We hadn't even left the hospital with Sophie who was our 2nd girl and people were asking us if we were going to try for a boy OMG.

Do what is right for you both and nobody else.

Good luck and stand by your choice no matter what it is next year you may change your minds maybe never who cares it is your life and your family.

hey i have 4 and people still ask am i going to have another!!! i guess because i have a new partner, my 3 girls are from my previous marriage and because we got a 7 seater car there is a spare seat people keep saying!!!

my god im not a baby machine!!!

people will always say something about anything

if you just have boys they will say so when are you going to have a girl

if you have been in a long realionship they will say when are you going to get married

if you are single they will say so when are you going to find someone

the list goes on

just tell them point blank im happy with the way things are right now ,, and then turn the question around and ask them about them lol

 

My sister-in-law and brother-in-law both said no more babies when not to long ago.  When my neice was first born they wanted another baby, but not right away.  Then as she is getting older they are saying not until she is in school.  Now he does not want another at all, she kinda does, but not now.  For me and my husband, we said when my little girl was 2 we would try again.  Even as I was preggy with my first, I wanted another.  As soon as she was born I was telling my hubby I wanted our second.  Now he's coming next month and I'm ready to wait for the 3rd.  Honestly, It's up to you.  You know what you can handle and alot I think has to do with the activity level too.  My neice is very hyper, and her dad has a hard with that.  So he knows he's not ready.  I know how you feel though with people asking.  Just hang in there!  It's your choice and I know wanted to have your body back is also very important too.  You want to be healthy for you and your family.
