I pretty much grew up an only child. I have 2 sisters, but they are 18 and 16 years older than me. Same situation with my son. He's 6 and his half brother is 26. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it!!!

I grew up the eldest of four! Siblings are over-rated!! Hahahah...no seriously. We have only one but we do want her to have a sibling. I don't know if that will ever come but I'm open to it. If one hold is all u want; that's kind of a personal choice. I will say I have a cousin who was an only child and he grew up and fathered 9 children! It seems we always want opposite of what we grew up knowing. You'll make the right choice for you. And he won't suffer from being an only child :). Peace.

Omg I can't believe people are telling you how many children to have! So silly! I have three boys. They're great but a huge handful but of course a handful that I would not trade for anything. After my first I was sure I was done. He's stubborn strong willed very very high energy and persistent- hard for an easy going laid back mom like me- but hes definitely the leader type! When I had my second I was so shocked because he was born so calm and quiet and still is. He's just like me:). I think God knew I couldn't handle two like my first. My youngest is pretty stubborn but I've learned how manage that by now:) they love each other but fight a lot. I do miss when I felt that I had enough time for my one son. So I see benefits and downfalls to both. Your boy is so blessed to have all your attention on him. My boys constantly fight for my attention all day long! They are amazing and I would not trade it for anything in the world but it is such a personal choice. Only you know your family best and what is best for you guys:). Just my little two cents:)

I am an only child, and there are great perks to be an only child. However as I get older and my parents health begins to fade. I am reminded that it will be my sole responsibility to take care of them. It is really the only down side to being an only child. Although people always assuming you got everything you ever wanted is just not true. We tend to be more mature and hang out with older people because of it.

Oh and if it helps - my hubby and I made the decision not to have kids at all. You think people criticize you try telling people you don't want kids at all.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
