[quote=Anonymous]I have an only child. It gets exponentially easier as the child gets older. She’s an extrovert that loves school and her friends, but also loves her peaceful, calm home. Especially in the pandemic it was so obvious how much simpler and easier parenting one child is. OP should have a second child because she really wants one and is willing to take her parenting up to a much harder level. Not because they’ll be friends, need a playmate, or will help with elder care decades into the future. There are as many anecdotes of those situations not working out as of them working out as everyone hopes. OP, life with one child is really great. It’s really great with two also, but it IS much harder. Don’t overextend yourself, but also don’t make a decision you’ll regret. If you really want another, then you should have another. We all deserve the family size we want.[/quote]
