Re: #79767--I agree with what you said---up to a certain point...

You say:

if she can only support one child, and chooses to only have one because of that (finances), then that is her prerogative. but it may not be in the best interest of the child to not have any siblings. you and the poster are looking at having children because it would satisfy you and your supposed need to be a parent like everyone else. I, on the other hand, could care less about my feelings and needs when it comes to the child. i'm solely thinking about an optimal living conditions for the child.

Excuse me! Who are you to say that anyone who has just one child isn't putting his/her child first? My daughter always came first---no exceptions.

You cannot assume what my motives or the OP's motives are for having one child. Plus, there are too many people out there who have large families and don't have the financial or emotional resources to properly care for them all. Do you think that those people did the right thing? Tweet
