Is it normal to only want one child?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s completely normal to want only one child. There’s no required family size, and your family can feel complete with one kid—or with none or several.

Absolutely. People choose one child for all kinds of reasons: it feels right for their family, their finances or energy, or simply because they don’t want another. You don’t need a dramatic explanation to make that choice valid.

Some people love the idea of siblings and may ask if you’ll have another, but that’s their preference—not a rule you have to follow. If you have a partner, it’s worth talking honestly about what each of you wants, rather than letting outside pressure decide for you.
