As a parent of one, I often find myself in a unique position—one where I can’t help but feel like I’m being judged by the multi-child brigade. My partner and I have made the conscious decision to stick with one child, and it seems that puts us on a different level of parenting. At least we’re not among those child-free folks!
Let’s face it: having just one kid is a breeze. It’s almost like having no kids at all—except for the presence of that one tiny human. Honestly, I sometimes forget my child is even around. I’m a stay-at-home dad, but with only one kid, I feel more like a stay-at-home dude. I can lounge around, and, let’s be real, my child can essentially fend for himself most of the time!
After contemplating whether to expand our family, we’ve leaned toward keeping it a one-kid show. And let me tell you, it’s a goldmine for comedic moments. If laughter is your jam, having one kid is the way to go! Here’s a playful list of things you might say to someone who hasn’t quite reached the parenting threshold of having multiple children—especially if they’re the type to blog about parenting woes.
- You’ve got just one kid?
- What’s the story behind you having only one child?
- It must be a piece of cake raising just one kid.
- Aren’t you concerned he’ll turn out spoiled?
- Wow, a stay-at-home parent to one kid? That must be tough. chuckles
- Aren’t you worried he’ll feel lonely?
- Things not working out in the bedroom, huh?
- Why not have another kid?
- I wish I only had one kid; it seems so much simpler.
- What do you mean you’re choosing to have just one child? What about family values?
- What’s going on, buddy? Not feeling up to the challenge?
There’s an endless list of reasons to have multiple kids, but only one reason not to: you’re a lazy parent who can’t handle the responsibility. (And let’s be honest, more than three kids? That’s just chaos.)
The reality is that parents of one child are often seen as lacking, but at least we’re not completely overwhelmed.
