very true, you dont have to if you dont want to.
some couples dont have children cos they dont want to. i know heaps of them. it's a personal choice, and others shouldnt tell you what to do. but unfortunately, they just do.
maybe they can help pay your child rearing costs too.
a colleague was telling me that if we had another boy, we MUST try for a girl afterwards. none of his business!!
boy or girl doesnt matter to us, and 2 is all we'd like. the same way 1 child is what is you would want.
