FWIW, most people I know consider themselves "one and done." Some of them are only children themselves, so they know it's not this horrible thing that "the kid will never learn to share" or whatever BS people say about why you should have multiple kids; some of them have several siblings and while have a good relationship with them, don't have this "magical sibling relationship" that some people imagine. Some had really difficult pregnancies, some had super easy pregnancies. (One woman I know had one kid, confirmed with her spouse they were done, she had her tubes tied, but she'd had such easy pregnancy that she became a surrogate for gay couples looking to have a baby, so she got lots of strange looks like "Oh, yeah, I'm pregnant, but no it's not mine or my husband's.") Even my own mom was like "I never really wanted kids, but your father did, and so it wasn't particularly traumatic for me to have the emergency hysterectomy. But I was glad you turned out cool, because it would have sucked to both not want a kid, ended up divorced within a year of having the kid, and get an annoying kid."

It's not to say I don't know people who want more: One woman I used to work with (now a SAHM) is like "yeah, two, or maaaaaybe three if it takes a while to get one of each," my BFF (who has two older siblings, but they're 15 and 18 years older than her, so it was largely like being a single child) were talking about The Duggars, and she was like "I want a big family that I didn't really have growing up, but yeesh, I want like six kids, not 20." (She has three, several mutual friends have been like "Have you explained how birth control works to her?" I told my mother about the six kids, and her reaction was "But for the love of all that is holy, WHY would anyone want six kids? Are they going to start a farm and need the free labor?"). And one friend has three kids, saying "I feel like it's our duty as smart people to try to out-populate the stupid people."

sometimes smart people have dumb kids, though.

You don't have to tell me: My father's in jail for selling drugs and my mom's a high school drop out who has cycled through 12 jobs in the past 6 years. I've got a PhD.
