Wow! That might be one of the worst things I've heard, ever.

Ya she has that affect on people. Like if something happened to my child I would be so happy I had a spare. :roll eyes: I am so glad we do not live by the ghastly woman anymore.

I've been told similar things. "G-d forbid something happens to one, at least you will have another"...type of things.

Thanks guys.. I guess I worded my topic wrong I don't feel guilty I ment more they try and make me feel guilty about it. Like I'm doing something wrong but I'm perfectly happy with my daughter (plus we're in that two year old phase you know the one) and I don't even feel the need for another. I tkdishik because I'm still relatively young they think I should be popping them out left and right (both our grandparents had large families 5-7 kids and our parents are from large families too) but I feel like I'd rather focus on my career as well as my daughter and people seem confused by that for some reason.

I feel i can give my daughter all she needs and do wonderful things with her such as trips and sports and give her all my personal time. I'm one of 4 and I love my brothers and sister dearly but I remember my mother stretched thin and a little more mom/dad time is something I think most of us want. Anywho I think if my husband just gets the big V that'll solve the nagging from others in the family and such. Then I won't have to keep explaining anything they'll get the point!

Right I'm not having another as "insurance" incase something happens. Who the hell thinks like that! WHY would you even suggest something would happen to my daughter.
