[quote=Anonymous]I typed out a long response and somehow lost it! Anyway, I'm in a very similar boat to you and struggling with the same kinds of issues. I also work and do most of the child are because of my dh's work and have a child about the same age with some ongoing (minor on the grand scheme of things) medical issues. "No joke" is right, and 2 has been hard for me. I find myself scheduling babysitters when my DH works late (not always, but sometimes) for no reason other than feeling like I can't deal with the bedtime routine alone one. More. Night. It makes me feel awful, but I have accepted the fact that some people are these women who are meant to have  5 kids and homeschool and cook organic.. And I am not one of them!

I think we will probably not have a second,  but I do worry that I will regret this in the long term. Part of me feels like I am making it for the wrong reasons (selfishness). And I am PARANOID that something will happen to my child and I will be left childless. I lost a sibling at a young age and I'm sure that plays in to my fears - just knowing that losing a child really can and does happen - but man, how shitty would that be with an only.[/quote]
