[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am in your boat and it gets better.

I have nothing to add but I echo what the other posters who are happy with one say. I have my days (had one this weekend) where I want more but that's not what we agrees to do.

I'm an only and am happy and successful. As are my parents. I'm am confident my daughter will be too.

One thing that continually strikes me is that when I see a family of 3 on the street I usually notice and I read them as three individuals. Especially if the child is a non baby. They almost always look happy and connected. When I see a family of 4+ I read them as a lump and I feel no connection, nor do I see them as distinct individuals. It's hard to put into words and likely has a lot to do with only being able to relate to my own experiences, but the short is that I feel a family of 3 has an easier time cultivating everyone's best and most whole self than a larger family, mostly due to limited resources of time and relationships and money.

That said, families come in all sizes and none is best. Despite what some mean PPs say.
