Thank you all!

Dilip dai, our experiences are similar.
I think the answer can not be confined in plain "Yes" or "No". Many grown up single children say that they always longed for a sibling. In case of a close-knit family, cousin sisters/brothers can become good friends and they may not feel the need of a sibling.

Sushamajee, we are thinking and thinking---. I hope we will be able to decide before it's too late.
And yes, some parties go beyond the next morning's headache by creating such extra stress:)

Neetijee, ha ha ha! Shubham is a cute boy! That is a very lovely stage of a childhood. The problem is that grown up people too think that way and don't care about the woman's pain.

I respect your belief about your wife deciding whether she wants second child or not. Everyone think women are natural mothers and its their ultimate fulfillment. But rarely people think about how much difficult it is physically and emotionally. Shubham turned 3 too. he also asks for me to get bahini. Sometimes he says, 'lets buy bahini from supermarket' only if it was that easy

Hahhhahaa!! So..Basantji..You are experiencing wha...

Hahhhahaa!! So..Basantji..You are experiencing what others (who have a single child) experience. Good, no? Once the single child has grown up, then people regret why they donot have another one. Your article reminds me those who ask me whether they can have another child after 9-10 years of having the first one.
Basant ji think and think ..and think before you feel too late. All the best!!!
By the way, from your article - my conclusion is - All the parties are not enjoyable.. can produce stress too. Hahahaha!!!

Ha..ha.. ha.. (let me laugh out loud, this is serious matter, though)

Well, now coming to the point, I'm laughing because this very question has been asked to me also, numerous times. (by known and unknown persons too:)

Now a days, I've started taking it lightly... very lightly. Because after examining few peoples attitude, I found that people ask this just for 'substitution' of 'how do you do'.

Yes!, specially if your first child is female, the chance of getting this 'interrogation' gets 500 times higher than that of having male child.

Well, jokes are apart, but if I have to answer this question honestly, my answer will always be NO.
