I think it is a personal decision to have children, no matter how many you decide to have. Seems like people get criticized for have 1 or for having more than 3. People should mind their own business. My daughter was an only child for 5 years and she never showed any signs of "The only child syndrome". I believe it is all in how you raise them. You can have more than 1 child and they can be just as bratty as an only child. The decision for us to have another child was not because of my daughter, but rather because of me. I wanted another one. My husband came from a large family and for a long time only wanted 1 child, so he could provide for her what he did not have himself. Shortly after 9-11, he changed his mind. We are not having any more, even though people keep asking us when we are having more. We are comfortable with 2 and if you are comfortable with 1, then that is good for you as well. I hope people get off your back about having more children, it is none of their business.
