"He needs a playmate"

I hear ya! I get that all the time and it bugs the crap outta me, and my DD is only 13 months! I usually get it when I say I'm not planning on having any more children, so to avoid the looks and questions I just say "I don't know" when they ask if we will have more. And I usually follow up with "I'm just really enjoying her right now!" I really wanna tell people that having more children JUST so your child has someone to play with is not a good reason!!

WOW at 13 months! That is CRAZY!     I am an only child and I had a friend to go on vacations with and had my own friends to play with and when I didnt  I played on my own   thanks to that I am creative now  and independant.    I see a lot of kids that have siblings but no friends or cling to mommy and daddy all the time    there are issues on both sides but some people that have more than one shouldnt be parents at all!

I went on vacations with my friend who is an only child and I always thought that was so cool.  We never got to bring friends because my sister and I had each other.  What fun fighting the whole time...so thats what I am kinda excited about- to be able to bring a friend with us, or travel to Europe or something just the 3 of us. 

 I just tell people we don't want another right now, but nothing is set in stone.  That way that sort of stops the conversation.
