THE (SHAMEFUL) REASON I ONLY WANT TO HAVE ONE KID
When I first saw a woman on TikTok say that no one will believe you if you tell them you only want to have one kid, I wasn’t sure if I should believe her. I live in Los Angeles and it’s 2025. In some ways it’s radical that I’m choosing to have a child at all given the declining birth rates and high cost of living. But then I started to experience the kind of push back she alluded to. A cocky guest on my podcast quickly retorted never say never when I mentioned my plan to be one and done. And my own family have—far more gently—encouraged me to have an open mind. But the truth is, I have a strong motive for only wanting to have one child. It’s just not a pretty one.
