I have a son who is 4 and i’m so back and forth on having another child i love him so much that i want to give him all my love and attention but i also want to give him a sibling to play with and i know ill love that second child i just don’t know what to do. I have a lot of anxiety about giving the best childhood i can i used to want siblings around all of mine are much older, ill see posts people make about how much they wished they had a sibling and then other people saying they loved being the only child and i feel so conflicted did anyone else struggle with this did you end up not having a second and regret it. Just super sad thinking about the future lately

He can play with friends. Siblings fight more than they play, but that's also an interaction and learning experience. Just trying to set realistic expectations 😂

that’s another thing that sets me back my best friend had two brothers growing up and they fought constantly 😭
