[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, obviously all other things being equal, 1 child is a lot less work than 2 or 3+.

I have 3 under 9 and we are busy. I am still able to workout a bit because work is flexible and I work from home so I always find time to go for a 30 min run. Money is much tighter than if we were only putting 2 child through private school, etc.

But I also would never want to have an only and that’s why I have 3. My kids play (and sometimes fight) together all the time, they have their own unique relationships and they are teaching so much to one another. [b]My kids’ lives are so much richer than they would have been had they been onlies.[/b]

We all prioritize and want different things. The lucky ones are the ones that are able to have what they want… including parents of onlies. [/quote]

You can think this if you want, but to say it like it's true is rude, unfair, and ridiculous. I don't have an only, we have multiple kids, but I have friends with onlies and those kids do things and have experiences that children with siblings likely will never have. It's a different experience, but to say one is richer than the other is just plain stupid. [/quote]
