[quote=Anonymous]I have one and we are done and I am only 34. I wanted two because I thought every kid needed a sibling. I realized that motherhood and children does not come easily to me. I took a while to bond with my baby. I am still, years later, shocked I am a mother. I don't love love the day to day. I do not want another, but I do get sad that I am not a different person who thrives in this chaos and loves kids. Bc I see that and I am envious of those people. And I hope that having happy and fully engaged parents outweighs the potential sadness of not having siblings. Bc we have reached our bandwidth with one and I don't want to have kids who I yell at or feel drowned by. So I mourn and get sad over the type of person I wish I was, but I am proud I can own my limits and make decisions based on that, instead of going for more kids bc it's "what you do". [/quote]
