[quote=Anonymous]Happy only child here. One of the behavioral benefits of being an only IMHO is that you develop good friend-making skills from a young age, because you can't take peer company for granted. I moved around a lot because of my parents' work, so I would have been pretty lonely if I didn't get out there. We have one child and are trying for a second. Because we loved the experience so much. I do occasionally feel pangs of guilt for my daughter, that we're taking something away from her (i.e. our attention and resources) but I really hope she'll like her sibling if we're lucky enough to conceive again. But we are absolutely not having another child for her benefit - her enjoyment of a sibling is not guaranteed! [/quote]
