i dont think there is anything wrong with being happy! and if you are happy with the family that makes three then go for it!

the pressure though can be intimidating at times. i have found this to be the case especially at mums group. DH and i are undecided on whether to go down the baby road again, but are keeping open minds, however the barrage of insults that come from some girls in my group about 'Only children' is horrendous. i have to bite my tongue ALL THE TIME. they do not know that i am an 'Only Child', and so when i have to sit there listening to the litany of horrors that are only children (ie, selfish, spoilt, snobby, socially void) i begin to wonder if they see that in me?! i guess not, as they like to hang out with me and we all seem to get on fine. It's all talk. people can be selfish, spoilt for all sorts of reasons, but i think being an Only Child is not one of them.

i guess it is really important to be true to yourself and your family. it might be tough facing the comments, but they are overcome and in the end the truth is in the pudding!
