[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] . . . there's a nagging part of me that worries about DS later in life. He will (hopefully) have 2 aging parents and that is not easy for anyone, much less a child without siblings. It sounds horrible, but that would be my only reason for having another child. I have one sibling and we were never close so I'm not sold on the whole "every child needs a sibling" thing that I hear about. [/quote] My DD is 2, and I am struggling with this now, especially since she has only one cousin who is much older and lives far away. Two friends who are only children each recently lost a parent -- for the one it was her remaining parent who died -- and seeing them go through that essentially alone was heartbreaking. Of course, they had friends, including me, who were there for them, but it's still weighing heavily on my mind. [/quote]
