[quote=Anonymous]My second is not here yet (due in September), but I will admit that wanting to give my son a sibling was the primary (not exclusive) force behind having a second. I had a rough pregnancy with DS and I knew it would be the same the second time around, and plus I'm AMA, but I just felt that the experience of growing up with a sibling was too important. People talk about how you never know if sibs will be close as adults - which is completely true - but at a minimum, your children will have a shared childhood/adolescence, and I wanted my kids to have that. I also have lost a parent and I know how hard it is to go through that; I can't imagine having done it without my brother. Again, no guarantees in adulthood, but I will say the vast majority of my friend group have positive relationships with their siblings, and many of them are extremely close, particularly those living in the same geographic region.
