[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my child asks me why she doesn't have a sibling, I'm going to say, "We're happy with our family the way it is." Which is the core truth, regardless of any adult concerns about having enough resources, whether financial or emotional.[/quote] Just tell her you stopped at perfection![/quote] Fool-proof approach: pick a kid she can't stand (classmate, cousin, neighbor, bully, etc.), and tell her that kid could have been her sibling; that we don't get to choose siblings personalities; and no one can guarantee she'd get the dream sibling she's probably fantasizing about; and that's it's irreversible: once the sibling appears, there's no return policy. Works like a charm. Kids would rather be onlies than stuck for life with someone they can't stand. :D [/quote]
