[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  When DH and I sat down to figure out if we wanted a 2nd kid (we were both on the fence) we basically decided the life we could give DS as an only was better than if we had 2 kids.  And we've never regretted our decision.  DS has had a lot of opportunities that wouldn't have been possible if we had another child.  [/quote]

I truly don’t want to be mean bc I respect everyone’s decision. But did you ever consider the opinion of your kid or any kid? If you asked a kid would they have rather have had whatever it was you could give him or her as an only (vacation, school, etc) or give them a sibling, what do you think they would say now? Or say at age 20, 30 when we all start analyzing our childhood?

Maybe he or she would say I’m glad I was an only so I got those things. But most only a I know want more than one kid bc they don’t want the childhood they had as an only.

Consider the other side. [/quote]

LOL. My sibling is a drug addict that has torn my family apart. I would take those things over growing up with him. He was also cruel to me as a child. You just don't know. A sibling isn't a guarantee to a best friend or family for life. [/quote]
