[quote=Anonymous]Everyone is different. I had my one and only at age 40. Before that, I had no interest in being a mom. I knew if I ever had a child, I could only handle one. DH and I like to travel a lot, we both have intense careers, we send her to private, and I knew more than one child would alter our lifestyle too much. Yes, call me selfish! That said, I worried a lot about her being an only, being lonely, not having siblings, etc. If I hadn't been so old (we did fertility treatments to have our only) I probably would have had another just so she wouldn't be alone after we're gone! As it turned out, she is absolutely THRILLED that she has no siblings - every time we talked about adopting a second child she protested wildly! She is really a happy, content child and I wouldn't change anything.[/quote]
