[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you're crazy to want another one but as other posters are saying, we don't get to have everything we want.  I have three, and while I love having a large family, there are definitely downsides to that.  First, there is never enough attention to go around, and we are two fully involved countries with a live-in nanny, so we have lots of help.  The other thing is that traveling with all of the kids is pretty much impossible financially and logistically.  I take turns taking my kids to Europe every summer, we can't really go all together.

So my advice to you is to focus on the positive side of having an only.  You can have amazing travel and experiences with your child starting at 6 or 7 - you are not limited by younger siblings or nap schedules.  I get envious of facebook photos of my friends' traveling fun with their onlies! You can have a closer bond with your child.  You will have more financial freedom for you and for him.  Just enjoy this and your child. [/quote]
