|   Being the parent of an only child, I dislike that attitude. 

I think you're reading too much into what i said.  I said that if
parenthood were really so miserable that 70% of all parents (and not
just 70% of respondants to a very unscientific survey) would wish it
undone, no one would have a second child.  I did not say, nor did i
mean to imply, that every one-child family is that way because the
parents find parenthood miserable.

I have one child myself, and no immediate plans for more.  I love
motherhood; it's the hyperemesis and postpartum depression that i find
somewhat off-putting.
