And, no, I don’t plan on having another.
Why is it that people frown upon those of us, who CHOOSE to have only one child? And, why do people find it necessary, to constantly ask… “So, when are you going to have another?”
Get this, you bunch of nosy-ass know-it-alls… I DON’T WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY. There I said it. Not only is it not in our best interest, mentally but also financially, another baby is just not in the cards. Those little buggers are expensive.
I will say though, we may adopt a child, in the future – when finances are right – maybe. But, you’d better believe, that kid will be at least eight. Way past the diapers, daycare, toddler tantrums, etc.
Because, let’s face it. My 5-year-old is a handful – and a half. There are many days that he’s just the sweetest, most bestest little boy, around. But, then there are others, when I find myself saying to my husband… “Your son! I swear, if I could, I’d stuff him right back into your balls, where he came from.” I just don’t think I can go through “crazy” phase, again.
And, before you get all, “Won’t he be lonely?” on me. Let me just say… No. My husband both have a crap-ton of cousins, who in turn, have a crap-ton of kids. He will never want for kids his age, to play with.
You may be thinking, “Wow, she’s selfish.” Perhaps. Or, I could just be sensible.
