Was just thinking about this the other day...
Let me know if you agree...
-
When you got married and do not have children yet, people will ask you 'When is the little one coming along?'
-
When you have one child, people will ask you 'So when is the next one coming along? Don't you think your child is being lonely? You should give him/her a baby sister/brother!' or 'Don't leave a big gap in between your kids!'
-
When you have two child and both are boys or both are girls, people will ask you 'Don't you want to try for another girl or boy?'
-
When you have two child and you have 1 boy and 1 girl, people will ask you 'Why don't you try for another one, let them have their own brother and sister to play with?' (so you end up having to try for yet another boy AND girl so that both your kids can have their 'playmates'!
-
When you have four and above child (regardless how many boys or girls), people will ask you 'Whoa... so many, how can you handle them?!'
As for me, one boy and one girl, yet, we get a lot of statements like 'Very good! You can close 'shop' now, 1 boy, 1 girl!'
No offense, I don't know why, I just don't feel right hearing these statements. I mean, if God meant for us to have more kids, fine, it's not up to us to decide to ermm... close shop, you know?
So really... there's no magic number in having children. No matter one, two, three, four or more, people will always have something to say. What do you think?
