pookybear 284 Posted May 9, 2013 Not at all! I'm an only child and I grew up perfectly fine Think of all the sibling fighting you're saving yourself lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crkrjax76 76 Posted May 9, 2013 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!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elli'smommy 160 Posted May 9, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saramichelle 127 Posted May 12, 2013 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:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just my little two cents:) Thank you Sara it helped alot I love kids but yes ppl say crazy stuff I'm selfish because I only have one kid and I need to think about if he lose me who would he have to comfort him they also say that he gone grow up lonely God knows I love kids but mother hood is honestly not for me and I love my son to death but I never thought I would have kids but I'm glad he is here now he changed me but one is enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
music1618 879 Posted May 21, 2013 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.

music1618 879 Posted May 21, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
