[quote=Anonymous]I have two girls - almost 4 years apart. The 4 years wasn't intentional but just how it worked out. I never wanted or intended to have an only. I have one sibling (brother) and we are reasonably close. I had a blast growing up with him.

I will say that the first years with my first daughter were magical and enjoyable. I have fond memories of that time.

I was honestly worried about having two girls because my experience of that with my girl cousins who were sisters is they HATED each other - and in adulthood are not close. But my girls are close and I am incredible happy they have this bond for life.

I think is totally a personal choice and I have no hangups about onlies. They are different and privileged in a way because they have the sole attention of two grown ups but the ones I've known are normal kids.

I also admit I wanted a sibling for my first child for morbid reasons - God forbid something happen to one of the children. And so that when their father and I die they aren't totally alone.[/quote]
