[quote=Anonymous]The pros are really all our time energy and money goes to one child.  That doesn't necessarily make your child spoiled but it means they can take advantage of every opportunity you can/want to offer.  We travel extensively, don't worry about how expensive a particular camp is, have much less conflicts when it comes to picking extra-curricular activities, will have college fully funded and we're considering switching to private schools which won't dramatically change our lifestyle.  Right now we are managing much better than other friends because we're only dealing with one distance learning schedule and two work from home parents.  The challenge is getting social interactions.  We work to foster DD's friendships and we're lucky to have good neighborhood friends so there are always kids around to play with.  I do occasionally feel left out with some of my friends because we don't have 2 kids and sometimes we get left out because our friends are looking for playmates for their other child.  [/quote]
