Only child parents need to do some research on how to support thier 1 child throughout thier life. It's extremely lonely, you'll never have a lifetime companion who knows you and what your parents were like, and typically only children have some issues later in life with trust and understanding themselves.

I had 2 girls. They kinda grew up alittle like an only child because they are 7 yrs apart. Now they are 23 and 30 and are best friends.

I've said that I'm 1 and done since he was in my stomach. I said no more kids to his grandparents minutes after I gave birth. They still pushed for another one. I was pissed and they don't say anything about it anymore. My kid is disabled. People need to mind their business.

I’m the only child of an only child. It is the most lonely thing. I’m married and had 4 kids bc of it. Yall are forgetting that down the road EVERYTHING will fall on the only child. It’s emotionally, physically and financially draining on an only child. Sure it was fun getting “what I wanted” but it was lonely and now that I’m 45…. I would never do that to my child. The only way I’d only have one is if physically that’s how it happened.

My thing is if you only want 1 child…please just acknowledge that there will be downsides for your child to not have siblings. There are absolutely great things that I wouldn’t change. My mom is my best friend and we had so much fun. But there are also negatives for me.

As an only child to parents who wanted another kid but couldn’t have one and had a miscarriage, it bothers me when people ask my parents why they didn’t have another kid. I hate seeing the sadness in their eyes

I have a 9 year old. I have had 8 miscarriage since my son was 18 months old. I don’t know if I could do that to myself again. I hold onto hope that maybe I could carry another again.

I had my son and knew I was done ✅ I’m fortunate to have him 🥰 not everybody situation is the same. I had many complications during my pregnancy and decided not to do it again.

Parent of an only child here. Just couldn’t give him a sibling cause I had them too late in life. He needs a full life. He’s always happy. I always check in with him to make sure he’s happy. And we have lots of friends who have siblings and when we go to their houses, he can’t wait to come home so he can have the whole house to himself again.🥰

My one and only is 20. We never really discussed a second child, never actively prevented it, and it just never happened. It isn't always as simple as people think it is.

@licia :
I would only ask do you want to have another child? I see it from the point of view that siblings will go through a lifetime with you. Parents leave you, friendship change but your sibling is there for you through everything (not talking about disfunction relationships here) so eventually when you have a school aged child consider that for them. It’s a beautiful thing to have one another.

I have one baby who is the light of my life. I can't give her a sibling because my body and health cannot handle another pregnancy 😢

People need to mind their business. My mama would have loved to have more than me, but her body didn’t allow that. And if someone rudely asked my mom about her “decisions” I’d come unwound on them. She tried.

It used to be an assumption that every parent that had one kid would want another because people used to enjoy having kids so much that if you had one, you definitely wanted another one now people are too selfish with their time and energy

There are also issues for some with infertility and various other health risks that come with having a second child and simply are unable to have more than one.

I only have one and its not what I wanted. But my husband is schizophrenic and we didnt know until after I got pregnant. I would have loved to have at least one more so my daughter has a sibling but my husbands mental health makes it unsafe and puts the entire burden of parenthood on me. It just wasnt possible and killed me to make the decision.
