[quote=Anonymous]I have one child and we cannot have anymore (been trying for the last 5 years with no success, we did IUIs and 7 IVFs and nothing worked, this is after getting pregnant on the first try with my son who is 5.5 years old).

Anyhow, to be honest, I feel that my family is incomplete with just one child.  Having one child is wonderful, and I'm so thankful that I have one, but it's not the same as having 2+ kids.  There's just not that family feeling there.  My son often says he's lonely, and asks often for a sibling, which I feel terrible that I can't give him.

This may sound petty, but I've noticed on Facebook that no one ever has commented "beautiful family" to the family photos that I post of the 3 of us, not even once, and I see them commenting this to everyone else who has 2 + kids all the time.  I've noticed the same with other families with onlies, they they don't get comments saying "beautiful family" either.  It makes me feel really depressed because I feel that others don't see my family as a legitimate family or they judge me for only having one (they don't know our infertility situation).[/quote]
