I have 2 sons & 2 daughters but I'm broody!!...?

I have a son and a daughter and I find it amazing how many people tell me that I am "done" since I have one of each. I don't really get why they think it is any of their business. I find that it's always women that seem to think they can tell you how many kids to have, I've never had a man say anything like that. My mother-in-law is the most severe, anytime anyone mentions the possibility of us having another child she goes off saying things like "OH NO THEY WON'T! Kids are expensive, they have ENOUGH!" it never even occurs to her that it's our decision. My own mom, who had 2 kids but says she always wanted 3, told me that having 4 kids is "crazy". I don't see how 3 kids can be ideal but one more be "crazy". It's an odd phenomenon. Perhaps they are just blurting out whatever they personally feel they could or would want to handle and assuming that everyone should be the same as them. I just ignore people. If they can't give you a REALLY good reason why they feel that way you have no reason to care what they think. YOU decide what's right for your family.
