[quote=Anonymous]I understand the OP. Siblings can be great, or they can not. I'm not at all close with my sibling, and far from helping me with my parents as they age, I will likely have to care for him after they die because he has repeatedly demonstrated that he can't live completely independently and I've promised my mother I won't let him end up homeless. He's nothing like me, we were never close, and I truly would have been happy as an only. Which is all to say, have another because you want to, not because you feel that you owe it to your child to "give" them a sibling. All the research shows that only children are just as happy and successful and well-adjusted as any other kid. (And yes, I know people who have had an additional child they would not have had but for their belief that not having a sibling was a deprivation that would mess up their kid.)[/quote]
