I usually, don't care about other people's opinions about my choice to be one and done, but here is an article that was refreshing, and highlighted one woman's reasoning behind having only one child.

    I love the opening quote:

     

    A smaller family means all of the joy, less of the crap.

    I love it too, mostly.  I had many reasons for only wanting one but it was solidified by knowing my limitations.  I just couldn't have more than 1 and not feel like I was losing my mind.  Our son was sick this week with a fever and I was so worried about him.  I couldn't imagine having that kind of worry doubled, or experiencing it twice as often.  And I just couldn't stand not being able to give each my full attention.
