[quote=Anonymous]It wasn't the only reason we had a second child, but it was a big part of it for me. I loved growing up with two siblings and we are still close as adults. We didn't always get along as kids, and we are different in many respects as adults, but we genuinely enjoy each other's company. I wanted my firstborn to have the experience of having a sibling even though there are no guarantees that they will have a close relationship. In fact, my DH and his sibling never got along and are not close. He viewed a second child as being a potential disadvantage to our firstborn given all of the issues my DH has had with his own sibling. I also wanted the experience of being a parent to two kids. So we had a second. It's been great so far. My second child is very different from my first but they seem to get along really well. I hope that will always be the case. [/quote]
