it is defiantely not weird to only want one child! Even though so many people will treat you like an alien when you tell them you wont be having any more. You need to do what is best for you, your husband and your child. If you are complete and hppy as a family of 3 then thats fantastic. I would have loved anohter child, but DH is definatley not interested in ever going down the baby path again so i am not going to try for another. There are so many awesome things about being a family of 3. You can give your child all your attention and love, you can afford to give your children mofre experineces in life, you will still have plenty of time for you and your husband to spend quality time with each ohter, you will be able to ave more 'me' time, i could go on forever.
It is hard at times when people are rude. I have had people tell me it is sad for DS and that i am being cruel not giving him a brother or sister. Now i be just as rude back to them telling them how dare they be so rude.
I do feel a pang of sadness sometimes when i ee him playing by himself, but like you, I dont believe that giving him playmates is a good enough reason to bring another life into the world. WhenDS is older we will welcome his friends over to our house anytime so he will not be alone ALL the time. My DH was an only child and he has no issues with it at all. I am 1 of 4 and cant imagine my life without my gorgeous sisters, but being 1 of many was stressful and i still to this day have to fight for my mums attention cause there are so many of us, so i feel good that i can give DS my attention when ever he needs it.
