[quote=Anonymous]OP I haven't read all of the comments but I'm in a similar situation. We found out a few weeks ago that we cannot have a second. I read the book One and Only mentioned above and I suggest you read it. It may sound crazy but you may want to move closer to DC or into the city. The area where I live has tons of playgroups etc. so my daughter is always around other kids. Also, houses in my neighborhood are close together so all of my neighbors know my daughter and we visit them, etc. all the time. I think this really helps. I cannot imagine being in a far out suburb with an only child, I think it would be very difficult. I also think you need to be careful about projecting your difficult childhood onto your child and also making more of the sibling relationship than it often is. Hugs to you, I know how hard it is.[/quote]
