[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an only with an only.

Wouldn't have it any other way!!!!!![/quote]

I know a family like this and it’s several generations (matrilineal).

I have 3 kids and wouldn’t have it any other way, so I hear where OP is coming from.  But it’s nice to hear positive perspectives on having an only.  Some people really love it and do so by choice.  It’s a shame it’s so often something people have to explain (why just one??), which I don’t think makes it any easier for OP.[/quote]

Why would you post here in this thread about having three kids and not wanting it any other way. You suck. [/quote]

Wow.  Perhaps I was too brief.  I am sympathetic to wanting more than one kid because I did.  I do think there are all kinds of wonderful family sizes, and my intention was to highlight this.  I have a lot of sympathy for OP because I wanted multiple kids but can imagine being in her shoes.  But I also think that it would be amazing to have the time and resources to devote one’s self fully to one child, and invest in that relationship completely.  There are real pros.

Apologies for any miscommunication.[/quote]
