Are you the only Child? Did you grow up lonely?

i'm an only child and it's completely fine.

my mom always tells people it's okay to only have one! don't let anyone pressure you if you don't more.

and as the only child it's okay for me too. we're both happy.

i mean one child is better than one and if you're happy keep it that way!

both you and your husband have to be happy with the decision to have more... for instance my mom wanted more (for my sake) even though i was fine with it i mean sometimes as a child i would want one sometimes but if i would have had siblings i wouldn't have wanted them sometimes either... but anyway my mom wanted to have one and my dad really didn't and they ended up getting pregnant and my mom miscarried.

so if you don't feel it's right don't do it! both you and your child will be just fine (:

I am an only child, but when I lived in Russia I lived with my cousin and considered him a brother. However when I moved to America I was perfectly happy being an only child. Growing up around people with sibling, it just reinforced my happiness of not having to share my things, or fight with my siblings. There was never someone I had to live up to, and my mother could focus on me and help me without having to split her time.

Unlike my father who now has another family in Russia, even when I came to visit him, he had to split his time between me and my 'half brother.' Even though I had not seen him in years. I really hated that I could not have all of his attention because it was always split between children.

There are a lot of myths out there that say single children grow up to be spoiled, self centered and what not. But those are just myths and I know plenty of single kids that are perfectly happy to be single children.

Being an only child was greate not having to share my mom with anyone. you and ur son will probably have a stronger bond without another baby. ur parents dont control ur life so ignore them

Being an only child didn't make me lonely. I made lots of friends and felt better being my mums special only child. My cousins are twins and said they find it difficult making friends when they went knew places because people see them as already made friends rather than siblings.

I am an only child and it didnt and doesnt bother me a bit. Do what you want dont worry about what others think.
