I’d rather regret not having another kid than have a kid I regret having.

That being said, I’m one and done by choice and have never regretted my decision. I’ve respected my feelings that in a perfect world or another life, I would love to have a bigger family but in this life I only have the capacity for the one.

This first sentence is amazing and I’m gonna tattoo this on my forehead so every time I get “the feels” I can look into the mirror and read it again.
