As soon as I announced my pregnancy, family and friends decided it was their job to inform me that if I was having one child, I needed to have another "because only children are spoilt"* and "so that your child doesn't have to deal with your care and death alone"**. My reply at the time was along the lines of "Could we get this child safely born before anyone starts talking about further offspring, please?" Fortunately the comments died down after my daughter was born, and I've managed to fend off more innocent questions with a simple "One's enough for us!"

* My husband is an only child, so this did not go down well.
** I am not an only child, and still had to deal with my father's final illness and death without assistance from my brother (not his fault, he lives abroad and a good deal of this was during Covid travel restrictions).
