[quote=Anonymous]I am the PP, and I meant to add that it's important to think through and address the "downsides" of being an only child. Do you worry that your child doesn't know how to share and play nicely? This is just addressed with good parenting, lots of playdates, and school. Do you worry about your child having to care for you in old age? We have robust retirement savings, wills, and end-of-life directives in place that hopefully will reduce the burden on our son as we age. Lots of the sadness parents feel at having an only is about what THEY wanted for their own lives, not about actual drawbacks for the child. [/quote]
