問題詳情：

My daughter is 5 years old，and since she was three months old，people have been asking us， “When are you having another?”At first，I’d answer“we’11 see，”because at the time，we were undecided，not financially stable，and just learning how to be parents．Over time we decided that one is good for us．“Poor baby，she’s going to be so lonely!”I have grown accustomed to these remarks．

But this week，I read a post that made my head spin．Andrew Kardon，a blogger at The Stir， said，“Parents who choose to have one child are just being selfish．”He says“I understand some people are unable to have more than one kid due to medical or financial circumstances．I’m not talking about them．I’m talking about the couple who decide it’s a lot of work and they like having their freedom，so they stop at one．”

I absolutely disagree．First，it is a very hard job to raise a child．Even in a two-income-earning household，the stress of having a child is huge just to meet a child’s basic needs．Let’s not get into all the extras that start piling on as they grow older．Second，and just as equally important，is time．Carving out time for just yourself is hard enough，but when you have a family，you want to be there for everything．If you are a working parent，it’s a hard balancing act between career，play，kids，and also spending time with your partner．For me，I wouldn’t be able to do half the things if I had more children．There are some parents that do this well，and I high five them．But that is not me．

Whether it be one child or twenty，this parenting business is no joke and not everyone can handle what comes in the job description．I believe recognizing that you only have the strength to raise one child，and raise that child to the best of your ability is actually something to be admired．

A．parents choose to have only one child for the same reasons

B．some parents choose to have one child for their own freedom   

C．all parents who choose to have only one child are selfish
