[quote=Anonymous]Kindly, OP, you are projecting your grief and disappointment on your child. We are a family of three not by choice and I understand where you’re coming from. But you have to let it go. Your son has different interests than you, but many moms of multiple don’t have common interests with their kids. And your hypothetical daughter may not be into those things either. Adding a non-bio kid at this stage will give you a potential do over, but you will have two only children and your son will not have a shared childhood or potential connection for decades to come. And then it’s a very tenuous possibility at best.

Traveling is the best part of having an only child. Holidays are lonely because YOU think they are. Try to embrace the freedom and flexibility your small family gives you. You get to have adventures and spontaneity that bigger families don’t. Find the joy and focus on that. Force the feelings of sadness and loneliness out of your head and fake it until you make it. I promise you that another baby will not fix your pain. It’s in you and part of you now, you can only only overcome it by accepting your family as it is, which sounds pretty darn great if you ask me.[/quote]
