+1  Your child would like a sibling.[/quote]

And you know this because you know the OP's child personally?[/quote]

OP here. I don't actually know that my son would like a sibling. He attends preschool/daycare all day while we're at work so he spends all day with kids and when he gets home he likes to have some time to play quietly or watch some TV--he needs time to decompress after a busy, social day. He takes after me in that way. He can play with kids in the neighborhood whenever he wants since there are mostly young families in our neighborhood, plus my best friend and her 3 kids live around the corner. We spend lots of time at their house, but he likes coming home afterward. He does call our dog his "brother", but I don't think he's telling me he wants a human sibling. Of course, that could change as he gets older. I'm sure he would adjust to having a sibling, but he seems pretty content with our little family.

Ask him. What does he think? [/quote]

Ask a 3 year old if he would like a sibling? What should OP do if he says yes? Or no? Base her decision on what he says? I could ask my 3 year old if he wants a hot dog for dinner and he could say yes. Then at dinner he could refuse the hot dog. I don't think OP should take her 3 year old's opinion at this time into account in terms of her decision to have another child or not. [/quote]
