[quote=Anonymous]Being an only does not have to be lonely. I am an only and I had a great childhood. My parents enrolled me in every activity or sport I was interested in and I developed great friendships. Now that I'm an adult I have a great relationship with my parents. They have planned well for their retirement and long term care so I am not worried about taking care of aging parents on my own. Honestly it seems simpler since I don't have siblings to fight with as some of my friends have experienced. I always though I wanted to have 2 kids but after having one I feel very content. My family feels natural to me because it mirrors the family I grew up in and we have a blast together. As a parent of an only I realize you have to put a little more effort in sometimes. My DH and I take a more active role in helping our DD make friends or get interested in activities and we take more time to play with her during our downtime since she doesn't have a built in playmate.[/quote]
