I be aware of that it is unkind to solely want or hold one child? Why would someone solitary want one child?
And it's any of your damn business, because? Valid reasons please.
I don't think it's selfish but I couldn't dream of only having one child. A bond between sisters and brothers is something that the child will never experience with anyone else. It's something special that can't be duplicated no concern how close the cousins, or friends, etc. I wouldn't want to deprive my child of that lifelong friendship and bond. My sister is the closer to me than anyone in my family. I couldn't imagine my vivacity without her. .
I don't understand why you own determined there are "valid" and thus, "invalid" reasons.
My mother decided to own only one child because my father was diagnosed with cancer when I be around 10 months old ... she thought if he died it would be very difficult for her to run the business they ran together alone and bump up more than one child.
I remained an only child. My father did end up dying from cancer when I was contained by elementary school. Source(s): *I don't see why having one child is selfish ... plenty of society have one child for a multitude of reasons.
My counter argument would be "Why do people have multiple children? I perceive that's it's just selfish to have more kids so they don't hold to spend time with their children."
I honestly feel like it would be thoughtless of me to have more children than I could spend quality time with. Many parents manipulate having many children very capably, but I just don't see how I could spread my time over multiple children and make sure they each capture as much Mommy time and attention as they need.
Why would I not want to have more than one child? My job as Mom is to produce talent children, not quantity children. If in the near adjectives I reach a point in my life where on earth I could raise two or more happy and intelligent children who can think for themselves and be everything I want my children to be, that will be great. But, if have more children means that I start spreading myself thin and becoming a behaviorist, I'm not going to be helping my children learn and grow they route I should.
For me, self sufficiency is also a big factor with having children. I do not want more children than I can afford, and afford on our own.
My husband lone wants one. He doesn't like the crying too much! Haha.
I would love to have 2, a boy & girl. I involve my girl next, just need to convince him!
an only child can be as nourishing and normal as a child with siblings.
the parents would be able to focus more attention on the child, helping him/her to seize further academically. they would also be able to devote more financially to that child, especially when it comes to college.
the parent wouldn't be as likely to say "i'm too tired" when the child asks to play or be read to (vs. a parent beside multiple children).
parents and families have to make these decision themselves based on what is best for their family, not what others think in the order of their family.
For some society it would be selfish to have MORE than one child. They might not have the money to raise more than one. I would rather see a couple with one ably adjusted child then a couple with plentiful unhealthy or attention starved children.
It isn't your business, though.
Now I may sound approaching a hypocrite since i have 4 kids, but if every one keeps up with this unharmed fertility treatment thing then the world is going to become very overpopulated. I show, twins and triplets used to be rare and now people are expecting to enjoy them. People are also having sextuplets due to In-Vetro, kinda like a litter of kids. Sterile people is nature way of keeping the population down. Think of animals in the wild. When they find sick or injured, they die. They might have a litter of 5 while only 3 survive. Humans have adjectives types of medicine, we can bring people back to energy, and we can keep virtually dead people alive. Bottom smudge is I kina think China has the right idea.
After having one child I can understand why people don't hold any more children. It's not easy. Especially if you have a child who needs profoundly of attention or has something wrong with them. It's not easy have a baby; they're hard work. Sometimes people simply can't handle doing it again...maybe it affected their relationship beside their partner and they can't handle another strain on the relationship like that or they are no longer in a relationship. Having more than one child can also be unkind depending on the circumstances. Kids are expensive and sometimes people would rather give one kid the best they can than 2 the worst. Sometimes culture are simply not in the right place to have more children.
The reasons may give the impression of being selfish to one person and then clearly reasonable to another; I think it's just the perspective of the couple.
I want another child someday...merely not right away (he's only 4 months old). I want him to have at least 1 brother or sister to hold around; I have a sister and love the closeness we share now that we are older (fought closely as kids though).
***Oh and another reason that is valid is if you live in China and are individual allowed to have one child lol.
Why is it selfish? associates should have as many or as few kids as they can raise properly. If that way having only one, so be it. I would rather see a couple own one well raised child then two who own to go without for financial reasons. The cost of have a baby is expensive and some couples can only afford to have one.
Let's see... financial reason, discovering that they were not 'baby people', desire for more freedom, wanting to put all of their time and resources into raise one awesome child, hated having siblings.
I could go on...but why does it bother you? Source(s): Only child, mom of 2, never needed to have an only child
Some couples singular have enough money for one child. I grew up in a house next to 4 kids and I have always wanted a big clan. I have two beautiful children and I am pregnant with my third. I really want 5 kids. I don't assume it is selfish to only want one kid, some people purely want small families.
1: They don't want to
2: The world is ridiculously overpopulated and we are running out of food and resources and they don't want to add to that
3: They stop at one just to piss past its sell-by date people like you
4: They are older parents and consistency that one is enough
5: They don't feel they can support more than one child financially
very well some people just dont have the method to provide for more than one..
I saw a couple on tv the other day who said they WONT have any children because its better for the environment..so that may be why some only enjoy one i guess?
not me though I want at least 4! lol
but I dont see how having one is selfish though??
Just wondering if you own children?? Having one child is a lot of work. Having two children is twice as much work.
Being pregnant was the worst experience of my life. I be so sick I actually wanted to have an abortion to stop my round-the-clock vomiting. (I didn't enjoy an abortion though as we had been TTC for seven months) I don't know if I could ever go through that again.
It is not selfish.
Just the the child will grow up without a sibling.
But from my perspective im glad i grew up next to my brother!
We were the best of friends and still are. Only 2 years apart.
I have a 4 month old daughter and plan on giving her at tiniest one sibling! :)
hahaha! Your question just made me titter considering it is completly UNselfish to only have one (or better yet no children)!
Think give or take a few it... Our world is becoming vastly overpopulated, there are children in other countries literally dying to have homes within stable places and people are still having more kids!
We are literally killing our world (due to several factor but a big factor being that we are living for too long and having to many kids!) In instruct to sustain our current population, we would need each couple to have of late one kid.
Of course I do understand how it could be lonely for an only child, and to be honest- I'm glad that I had my brother growing up. But contained by a realistic point of view having one child is the most unselfish article a person could do.
Which makes me almost think that you may own asked this question just to get a rise otu of citizens...? It is a very highly debatable topic though!
1. The Cost
2. They only enjoy time to raise one child, in other words they don't feel that they can divide their time satisfactorily between 2 kids.
3. They don't want to be pregnant again.
Some people know they don't have the drive or financial means for another baby. I think it's more careless to keep having children when one can't afford the ones they already have ans expect their children to be poor and live past its sell-by date government money. The couples that I know that have only one child give the impression of being to be the more responsible ones. I would like to have a second child, but if we are not able to afford it, consequently we're not going to do it. THAT would be selfish.
Why the hell would that be selfish? Source(s): I'm an only child.
I find your question offensive. I am a fertile young woman and I only want one child. I don't think it is selfish at adjectives. I love my son and look forward to the wonderful times we will have, and my family is complete as is.
why would that be egocentric? i don't get it. you don't need to worry in the region of anyones reproductive decisions but your own.
