I'm getting a little fed up with the reaction I'm getting from people when I say my hubby and I only want 1 child. I'm not particularly enjoying this pregnancy and my mum has given me her full understanding and sympathy. She's watching me go through the exact same things she went through with my brother and she told me that if she'd had him first, she wouldn't have had any more children because she had such a rough time.
So now when I say that hubby and I are happy to have just one child, people are constantly telling me "oh, you say that now, but you'll forget all about the bad bits..."
If one more person says this to me they're seriously gonna get a slap!
We're happy to have one child and give that child all our love and attention, we know he's not going to be lonely because he'll have lots of friends and cousins his age. And for the record, NO, I will NOT forget the sickness, the hospitals, the drips, the needles, the nosebleeds, the sciatica and the general crappy fellings. I didn't forget it the first time round and I knew I'd have to deal with it again with this pregnancy. I just wish people would respect my descision. Some people are good at this pregnancy lark, some aren't. That's just the way life goes.
Sorry for yet another rant today, but like a good fart, it's better out than in.
