Depending on your age just think of all them stinky nappies ,being kept awake all night.  It will be all the longer before you have them off your hands and no time for yourself, all the crying and tantrums.  I ended up looking after my grandson who is almost five now he is in my care now until he is sixteen and I am 54 so i wont have a life without kids so  make the most of your life.

As the mother of one child I can see all the advantages attached to this for both mother and Child. Though others will probably disagree with me!

You can give the children you have so much more of your time and energy. You can perhaps afford to educate them privately which can be a tremendous advantage depending on what the state schools are in your area( I'm thinking of the UK).
You can give them so much time for affection, help, doing things together as a family and you have less pressure to please so many different individuals. It's not only a financial thing it's about time and caring.
Don't give in to pressure when people try to make you feel guilty for not wanting more children. It's you who has to bear the main burden so do what is best for yourself and your family. Never feel guilty - I didn't.
Life is for Mothers too and to be overburdened against your wishes is unfair.
As a Grandmother I have the same joy with my Grandchild that I had with my son without feeling pressured. I am glad that I made the decision to have a small family.
