I can assure you that if you ever do marry and have children, it won't stop. I have one child and a fantastic marriage. We are satisfied with our son (he's a toddler) and don't want any more children. Most of the people I know have at least two children. If I mention in conversation that my child is freaking adorable and doesn't annoy me; my husband and I have sex almost daily; I have tons of free time to explore my own interests; we have plenty of money... The response is typically "Well, that's because you only have ONE child." And like you, I often want to say, "Nobody made you have two, three, or four kids. You made that choice yourself." But the reality is, people just like to bitch. Regardless of their status or family situation, there are some people who just like to complain about their own life, and denigrate yours.
