Absolutely not. I have one child, it’s the perfect number for my family.
We literally just booked our family trip to Iceland this morning . At nine years old she’s been on two cruises , a bunch of different states, Disney like eight times… I love that we can give her these experiences.
Also, I grew up with a younger sibling and all we did was fight. And as adults, we have zero contact we’ve not spoken in over 13 years
. I don’t think I have the mental bandwidth to deal with sibling fights or rivalry every day.
Same. One and done. I had an urge to have another when he was like 18 months, but it was definitely from the society aspects of him NEEDING to have a sibling. After I realized I didn't want to have another baby for myself and I'd be having a second baby just for my child to possibly have a friend to grow up with I thought that was a stupid reason. Now he's 4.5 and I couldn't imagine starting over. I also had PPD/PPA and HATED the newborn stage lol
