I don't believe it's anyone's business why or why not you have any or 40 kids (okay, I'm exaggerating). I grew up with a younger brother who I wouldn't trade for anything, and I mean anything, but I realize that not all, or even many siblings have a relationship like we do. I also have a younger sister, by 19 years, and have heard my Mom say that she wishes she would have had another right away for her to play with. My Mom barely has patience for my little sister....My sister is a very smart girl. I don't see her as being any more spoiled or unsocial as my brother and I. Actually, she's much better in a social situation than I am.

Personally, I'm not planning on any children. There are multiple reasons for this and I do get tired of the "When are ya'll going to have kids?" question. Plural, not even singular. I just smile and say "we're not" in a tone that doesn't invite the discussion to continue.
