I don’t have any kids but am an only child. I was always around my cousins and neighborhood friends a lot so never really felt bored/alone. I think most people think that only children can’t share or are more spoiled but that doesn’t necessarily need to be true.
What do you think your parents did to keep you from being like that? Did you have a close relationship with your parents growing up?
Have at least two. They'll have each other even when you're gone. Distant family members are not always that caring.
If you have 2 then you can pit them against each other in a coliseum to determine who can carry on the bloodline (or just bc you are bored that weekend)
I am an only child. I had three kids because of how I felt about it. My cousins were far away, we moved three times, it was just hard.
For me, I only had my daughter, that wasn’t the original plan between her dad and I. However, she is very well balanced, and the feedback I received when she was growing up was she did not act like an only child.
The other thing she did all along the way was acquire “cousins”. Anybody she felt close to she called her cousin.
Do you want one child to bury you alone or have a sibling to support one another?
It’s what I think about. Not the main reason but as sad as it may be, that would be the reality with only one child.
I am going to add,, I grew up very privileged. Private school, car for my 16th birthday, international vacations. That was wasted on me as a kid. I get it was a choice now but it didn’t mean anything to a preteen, you know? I AM very grateful I graduated college with zero student loans and a paid for car I could drive three more years.
Travel is an experience that you can give your children, no matter how many you have. The travel experience I think, is different than giving them anything else because it lets them see where they are in the world, and what the differences are in the world, and it gives them a broader view of the world which gives them a broader view. Period.
Military kids are blessed this way, because we get to experience other cultures, other food, other ways of being, other religions, and be aware of them as we grow up. I think travel sits outside of everything else because there’s so many benefits that you get from it .
There’s nothing wrong with having multiple children if you take care of them well. If you have multiple, even they will help you with their siblings. At least I’m hoping. 😂
I have one child and I wish my body would give him a sibling. We have a great relationship with our child. He feels protected by us, we go everywhere with him and he is confident. Haven established that for him, we’re ready for another. We feel a second child, if we’re blessed with one, would be so lucky. He/she would have 3 people dotting on him or her.
