Hi, my name is Tabitha, and my husband and I have one child. Our child is four, and no, another one is not on the way. For at least another couple of years.

Throughout the past four years, numerous individuals have asked my husband and I if we are going to give our son a little brother or sister. And quite frankly I'm a little tired of it. I mean, do my husband and I really have to justify our interest in one child? Or include everyone in our baby making plans?

But I'm getting ahead of myself...

The most annoying thing about having one child, and the world knowing about it? The incessant questions.  So I am here today to answer those questions.

I seriously can't tell you that answer, but why should I have to decide? Because most of the world has at least two children? Because those two children are under the age of five? Sure, having children close in age, may be amazing for those children, but to me, it just seems stressful. How are you actually able to devote an amount of time to a three year old, while devoting almost 100% of your time to a newborn? Stressful.

two || Don't you get baby fever?

The anwser... yes, I do. And it's bad. But then I realize that the costs of having another child right now, severely outweigh the benefits. Sure I would love to be able to smell that tiny baby smell 24/7, but I certainly do not yearn to smell like baby puke constantly. Plus I have a few nieces and nephews to keep my "fever" away. 

three || How is your son going to learn to play with other children and share, if you don't have another one?

The answer: playdates and school. I don't have to have another child to teach my son how to be nice and share with other children. He can get enough interaction from playdates with children his own age, playing at the park, and when he goes to school.

four || Who will keep him company when you and your hubby pass?

This question came from the episode of Grey's, when Callie tells Arizona that she doesn't want little Sophia to bury them alone. Plain and simple... I REALLY DONT WANT TO THINK OF THAT RIGHT NOW.  

five || Aren't you worried that he will become spoiled? 

The answer: all children have the tendency to be spoiled. It's another perk of being a parent; spoiling your child. Sure we buy him toys and tons of things to ride in the yard, but the key is teaching him to be grateful for what he does have.

Even though I am annoyed with the questions, I am actually grateful. Any time I tend to think that I am happy with just my little man, someone goes and asks one of the questions, and my life is automatically put into perspective. The perspective of my life as a single child parent, and the possible want of adding to my parenthood status.
