Thanks for the responses ladies.

My partner and I are both middle children of 3 child families, my older brother is disabled so I spent most of my childhood babysitting, which I hated at the time but of course now am grateful for all the time I got to spend with my siblings, as my partner still has issues with his siblings.

Beckibee, I also don't think I will have any more because of medical and finanical issues. I suffered with terrible morning sickness and bad mood swings, although I understand many women go thru a lot more than this, I don't know how I would cope being pg again with a toddler/small child to chase around!

Also I don't think financially we will be in a position to bring up more than one child with everything we want to provide.

Saying that, I also believe that children are the product of their parents and upbringing, and don't think only children are all 'spoilt'.
