I don't really want to be a parent all over again. It sounds harsh but we don't get a lot of help (not that we should do or anything) and dd was such hard work when she was little. Bad colic to start, resulted in little sleep for 6 months, she hated being put down so couldn't even put her in the buggy to go out, spent pretty much 6 months on my own, in the lounge bouncing her over my arm to get her to stop crying.
Anyway , things have just started to get a little bit easier- she's 2, going to nursery for 2 half days, sleeps ( even if she is up at 5am) and I enjoy her a lot.
However I am loving the freedom of having a toddler and can't imagine going back to the start all over again.
People always ask when my next one will be and look saddened when I say I doubt there will be another . I'm usually told I will have another when she's older etc.
I think I saw a thread similar to this the other day but I can't find it!
Is it that bad to be an only child? I have two sisters and I barely see them :/
