[quote=Anonymous]I am an only child and it sucks!!!! It was awful as a child because I grew up in a city with no family anywhere near there, so I was super lonely all the time. I only saw grandparents, etc. once a year. Now we have a child, but I want a second child so he will not be an only child. I feel that as an adult being an only child is even worse. My parents live on the West Coast, DH's family is hundreds of miles away (and we are not close with them anyways). My son only sees his grandparents twice a year and we spend every holiday alone. My son won't have any cousins b/c DH's sibs don't have kids. The thing I am most envious of is people who have large, loving extended families--the kind where everyone keeps in touch with supportive Facebook posts, and where they all have the big family reunion at the beach for a week every year. I have 15 first cousins, none of whom has any interest in a relationship, and all of whom live on the West Coast. I feel alone all the time. I have no confidantes except for DH.[/quote]
