Don't be so quick to judge Sara - who are we to feel sorry for anyone? I dont want to sound ungrateful and Allah mian knows I wouldn't give up a moment of my time with Ayman - but it was so different from what I imagined? Pre children we tend to think of all the positives - ie cuteness factor but in reality children cost allot and are constant work.
Its like marriage - pre shaadi we think of oh how I'll never get married and want to so badly and think of all the pretty clothes and the dawats and romance with hubby; but after the honeymoon reality sets in.
I'm not saying anyone who has 8 children is a nut but I am saying its not easy. And I want to have 3 ideally but with a Nanny and no have to work full time -- now its a choice of having three or dealing with the reality that after a long day at work I have to go home and tend to a whole new job.
Nahi yaar, i'm talking about point #3, in the first post. I'm not a parent but I know it's not easy at all, and if someone doesnt want more--they are perfectly within their right.
however, I do have a problem with the reason "siblings are not that important anymore." If they think a sibling is not important b/c they loved being an only child--then good for them. But if the reason for not believing siblings are important is b/c there may have been bad experiences--that's where I would feel sad for them.
