[quote=Anonymous]As an only myself, the reason I would never choose to have an only is not the childhood period (when as others have said, I learned to relate well to adults, enjoyed a great relationship with parents, and developed very strong relationships with friends and their families, and vice versa, to "fill in " for no siblings). The issue is instead what happens when you become an adult and deal with aging parents. Being the only outlet and support for them is difficult, both practically and simply in terms of having another person (besides spouse) to talk to about decisions. It can be a lot to put onto a single person, and then when parents die, no family left other than your own kids. Just something else to think about. It definitely induced me to have two children, and we are lucky because now as young adults they are best friends and supports for each other.[/quote]
