There's a pressure in our society for moms to have more than one kid—namely because siblings can entertain each other and teach each other things, and also, because having a big family can be fun. But Debra Messing wants to remind us all that stopping after just one child can make for an awesome motherhood experience as well.

The actress, who began reprising her role as Grace Adler in the reboot of TV show Will & Grace in 2017, is mom to 14-year-old son Roman, who she shares with ex-husband Daniel Zelman. In a recent interview with Parents to promote Colgate Optic White, Debra explained what she enjoys so much about having one child while having a career. "What I love about having one is ... dealing with pickups at school and after-school activities while you’re also a working woman. It is easier with one child versus many children," she said.

Although she admitted she has "often regretted" not giving her son a sibling, calling that a "downside," she added, "but I feel like this is the family I have, and I embrace it and love it and know that there are pros and cons no matter what configuration your family has."

Plus, looking back on her decision, the actress has realized that having multiple children might not have been for her anyway. "I think that there are certain women who are built to be able to have five, six children and are able to multitask and handle the sort of innate chaos of having lots and lots of kids ... I know myself, and I'm not built that way," she said.
