[quote=Anonymous]We have a 14 year old only. It’s been good, and we are all happy. I wanted two, so the downside for me was many years of craving another baby. Our kid is a very social extrovert and we are both introverts. That was challenging when kid was young (like under 10) because we were the only playmates at home. But as long as he got to play with other kids most days he was happy. It also forced us to PLAY every day. That has been unexpectedly good for us. We can’t watch tag, or the climbing wall - we have to participate or it feels lonely to him and he doesn’t want to do things. So I do all sorts of goofy fun things I never would have done. Today we went to the batting cages and kid coached me to hit baseballs. So in terms of our relationship with him being an only it has been good. At this point I do not want another kid, at all. But I know our family with two kids would have been equally wonderful, just different. [/quote]
