Hello all,
I'm new to mumsnet and enjoying following the conversations. This is my first attempt at kicking one off.
I have one ds, almost 2 years old, and absolutely adore having him. The majority of the time he is a pleasure to be with and even when he is being difficult I can cope with the stress.
Since he was born dh and I have been adamant that we were not having any more but lately I am starting to question this. Am I being selfish by denying him a brother or sister? Will he be lonely growing up? I even worry that when we die he will be all alone! Or am I just feeling this way because my friends are starting to have their 2nd babies and I'm jealous/feeling left out (I loved being pregnant).
If you were an only child what do you think? If you were from a big family would you have prefered to be an only? How did having your second child change your parenting experience?
I'd love to hear what you think.
