They need to go to the corner with that mess lol....kids are exspensive. I chose 2 as my magic number...I was blessed to get both a boy and girl....had them both in my early years...one is out and the other will be out next year and I am still young enough to enjoy me 
( although I know I am going to be a mess when my baby leaves

It trips me out when people ask that question...I have 1 daughter and my response is are you goign to support another child. They are expensive. People tell me that my daughter is going to have problems if I dont have another child ... I tell them that is what a threrapist is for and that a therapist co-pay is cheaper than another child.
See - you are wrong but RIGHT for tha co-pay comment!!!! LMAOOOO

... it starts with the first birthday, time for a playmate... by age three, you better hurry up so they won't be too far apart... then its, ok, there's a gap but its not too late... kids in high school now so you think people will leave it alone, but now you will have someone to baby sit... college, with another kid they can share the burden (that is, you) when you get old... ... ... If these damned eggs would dry up already people may stop asking.
I have one grossly over indulged precocious beyond her years spoiled child and would not change it for the world. We would never have gotten as close as we are if she had to share her mom. I would have another if he were a billionaire, but for sure it would have to be an accident (monumental train wreck).

I have only had one child and adopted another. I get ask that question all the time. I think to myself maybe in the future but the closer I get to thirty the more I am like I am straight. My children are six and eight they would be to far apart for me. My daycare is like four hundred dollars a month for latch key give me a break I am already working two jobs even know I have college degree.
#1MM,
I think some ask this question to be nosy, but when I ask the question, I ask for totally different reasons. My sister has one child, and I ask her often when is she going to have another one. You may be thinking, why... Well, I am a tad bit old timey, and I think a child should not grow up alone, not only that, what if something happens to you, and they are left all alone... My father used to tell me all you really have once your parents are gone are your brothers and sisters. I used to think he was pure crazy when he would say that. My mother is the oldest of ten, and he has brothers and sisters, so I thought I have lots of family.
I now know, no one loves you like your parents, and when they are gone, all you really have is your siblings. It is my brother and sister that call and check on me, not my other family, it is my brother and sister that offer to help me when I am down and out, not my other family. I told everyone about my surgery, but it was my brother, sister, and my best friend, who were in the waiting room when I went in for surgery. It was my brother and sister, who went home with me after my surgery.
When our father died, it was my mother, brother, and sister that took care of things. When my mother died 13 months later, it was my brother and sister, and myself sitting together in the end. When all is said and done, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt they will be there for me. No one else in my mother's family or my father's family have called to say are you okay, do you need to talk, but my brother and sister do. Each and everyday I thank God for them, because if I did not have them I don't know how I would make it.
Okay, now I am crying, so I need to wrap this up....
With all that being said, if my sister does not have another child, if anything ever happens to her I will do my part to help her son. For me when I ask people if they going to have another child, it is only because I think there is not better support, than from a brother or sister.
But you are not trippin, if you only want one, you only want one... I can roll with that! On a different note, I worry about myself, not having any... when I get old how will call and check on me to make sure I am being treat okay.... My brother and sister will be old too. This is just what goes on in my head.
