is that it for you?
just wondering if anyone has had their first baby and decided to stop there?
Grace is our first and we wont be having anymore. people still ask me when we are having the next one and dont seem to believe me when i tell them thats it, and it really is.
is anyone else stopping at just the one?

Main reason is because OH is totally against it, he says he will never have another cos it's too much hassle (even though he doesnt do anything!). This bugs me but there's not much I can do, though he knows the subjects gonna come up soon on when to TTC if ever so Im praying he changes his mind.
But at the end of the day our relationship and our responsibility as Gabe's parents is more important then having another, even though I would love to ttc

I do have to say my main regret will be never having another newborn again and see a child growing up - totally selfish really.
If anything I would prefer Gabe to be an only child, I grew up with siblings, I HATED it and would have loved to be an only!!! xxx

I had 3 brothers and much as I love them now, my mums time was divided between the 4 of us and it did make me resent them when I was younger.
So, I guess I'll be with the minority and say I'm sticking with the 1!!

I meant to add, I know a few people who are only children and they are very self sufficient and independant the 'I don't need any friends' attitude I think its really sad to see, I would hate for Faye to be like that. Hope I haven't upset any only children on here, so an observation with people I know who are like this

i guess i just believe that a brother or sister would have made a whole difference to who i am, even if it was just someone to fight with!!
hope i haven't offended anyone, just read this through and realised how bitter i sound!!!
it annoys me the second you have had the baby you are constantly asked 'so when you having another' - i just hate the assumption!

Like when you go for your postnatal check and they chat about contraception 'erm who said I was ever having sex EVER again!?!'
