Apologies if subject title is a little odd but couldn't think of a better way of phrasing it
I'm an only child, ambivalent about how I feel but since I've known nothing else I suppose it's not much of an issue for me.
I'm also a single parent to an only child. DD is almost 8. Whilst I still have a fair few years in which to meet a DP/DH and do some breeding, at this rate, DD will be a teenager or will have left home by the time she has any siblings!
Are there other MNs here who have no siblings and are finding that their DC is in the same position? Are you worried about things such as a lack of cousins, aunts, uncles, relatives in general (I know that it's something that's a bit of a concern for me).
Thankfully DD is very outgoing and not at all unusual in her class for being an only. At least one third of her class of 30 are only children so it's not much of an issue for her. Nonetheless, I still worry!
Anyone else in the same boat?
