We record this episode on Pierce’s birthday and get pretty deep about how happy we are with our lives just as they are, living simply and within our means. We cover the subject of finances, they are such a big part of the decision to have a child and it is difficult to plan financially when you have more children on the horizon! Our house, car, jobs, daily lives and basically everything would have to change in order to accommodate another child and honestly - we’re really happy with what we have and don’t want to change it!

We read several messages on this topic from parents who prioritize travel, stay at home parenting, their careers, and more over expanding their families. 

In the pop culture segment we talk about the longest running sitcom of all time - that actually doesn’t perpetuate only child stereotype all that much in its 30+ years - The Simpsons! There is a recent episode that has a brief nod to only children as Marge and Homer are reminiscing about their pre-baby lives. Fun fact: Pierce is just as old as The Simpsons!
