[quote=Anonymous]I would have the second but for me it was not a thought in the world. I think some people get stuck on the baby years and they are so tough but man they go quickly. I have a 5 and 8 year old and I am regretting big time that I didn't have the 3 when I could. I can't believe I say this but I miss it, I do. As for expense, they are all expensive and 2 really isn't the same as one as you re use a ton of stuff..or you should. For example. I used the baby car seat, the high chair, the crib, etc etc. Even the infant clothes were sort of uni so I used them on both. Food is nothing. School is expensive but we just put away for both each month so we are not sticker shock at 18. Now that my parents are older I am so happy to have siblings (although not perfect none are) because we have this common bond. You will hear some examples of "I never talk to sibling" but remember DCUM tends to forage out the exceptions and the outrageous--most people are somewhere in the middle. If you can't have a 2nd child and some people know this in their heart. Do you have any nephews or nieces that you can step and really have them as sort siblings. That takes a lot of effort but you owe that to your child. One friend of mine does this. She foots the bill for a lot of things and sometime puts up with drama but for her child, he has helped create a lasting bond--kids are soon to college and they are close cousins so you could work on that. If not close relatives what about a close friend and have that discussion..again you put up with a lot because you know you need to make that relationship work etc. Good luck with your choice.[/quote]
