Because people are morons.  I am only having 2, but that is what is
right for us.  Not right for the whole world... but for us.  I know
that people who have 2 kids thinks that the whole world should have 2.

I wanted another girl.  I am having a boy (and I am now excited about
him coming rather than being disappointed that he is not a she).  Most
people have made stupid comments like, "Oh that is great.  You have a
matching set."  I have been know to reply, "No, 2 girls would be a
matching set."  

Or another one that gets me.  A couple of DH's friends have told him
that "he was a real man because you are having a son."  I have been
known to tell them that "he is a real man because he loves and takes
care of his family.  He was always a real man.  He would have been a
real man even if he never had children."  I mean, if having a boy
makes DH a real man, what does that say about my daughter?  Is she
nothing because she doesn't have a penis?  

As I said, people are morons.
