    One is the perfect number for my family . . . sure it'd be nice to have another but I don't think I have it in me.  Hell . . . most nights the dog doesn't even get fed so imagine the chaos if there were two kids!!

I make a point of devoting special time to each of my babies, but we spend so much time as a love-filled group. We have so much fun!!!

    Ur also nuts Em! LOL!!

    LMFAO!!!! My dog was my baby...until I had a baby. Now (although she gets fed lol) she takes a SERIOUS back seat. I feel bad sometimes cause she doesnt get the attention she used to...and I know its just a dog...but I dont want the same thing to happen to my little guy if I have another baby eventually.

    I would like to have another child - probably because I came from a family of 2. I felt that it was good to have another person who shared a very similar upbringing as myself, and that we can related to each other in a way that no one else can understand.

    And when we were growing up, we always had each other to deflect any negative attention from my parents (e.g. yeah I broke the vase just now, but look, he broke the chair last week!).

    Besides, I think if I was an only child, I would feel too much pressure to be the only one who has to live up to  all my parents' hopes and dreams! LOL.
