This past weekend I attended a seminar about helping our youth. I did it to network and hopefully find some leads on a job after graduation, plus it looks good on a resume. I met a lot of people, learned a lot, and generally had a productive day. But I noticed something about conversations. The typical chit chat, questions about you your family, your life, one thing stood out to me.
So, you have kids? (yes, I have a 13 year old daughter)
Just one? (yep, just one)
Don't you want more kids? (No, we decided one is enough)
Ooohhh really??
And then, the look.... the disappointed, how could you settle for just one look. And it got me thinking about it. What is wrong with having one child..what is wrong with not having any children? I don't have a sickness, I am able to have more, I choose not to for many different reasons, and what is so wrong that I get that look when I tell people. when did it become wrong to not want anymore, or any for that matter, children?
