[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an only child and always wanted a larger family of my own. There wasn't ever a question in my mind that I'd have 2+ kids. When DD was like 1.5 she started begging us nonstop for a sibling. DS was born when she was 22 months and they've been best friends since. I really think DD never wanted to be an only child and she was meant to be the big sister. She's sensitive, empathetic and loves being a little mommy. Pregnant with #3 and I doubt DS will make as good of a big brother as DD was.

I love the baby years and the toddler years have been sweet too. [/quote]

As another only, please provide a sibling.  My kids are so much happier!![/quote]

I am an only and loved it growing up. I have two kids and they don’t get along at all. [/quote]

Yeah, and also, it shouldn't be on the parent to "provide" a sibling. That's how you get moms with mental health issues. My mom would have been way happier with just one, objectively speaking.[/quote]

Let me guess pp you are the older!  I am the middle child and glad I was born.[/quote]

I am, but that's why I said "objectively" - I love my brother and both he and I are glad she had two. But objectively, her mental health would have been better with one or none.[/quote]
