I only have one child. It's easier for sure but I think all the time about how lonely she is going to be in the world if something were to happen to me.
They say when you have your own children, that it is different. That you can put up with them because it is your own. I'm 20, and I really don't want children because I too have had bad experiences with my younger cousins and other people's kids.
But when one of my cousins (who was 15 and preg) 4 years ago- had a beautiful baby girl. I have grown attached to her since. This made me feel that maybe one day a girl would be right for me.
In time; I'm sure you'll know whats best for your future. :3
My parents both have three siblings each. And they argued to the death as children, and they still argue now as adults. However they're more than willing to get together for family parties and love to see each other and talk and are interested in each others lives'.
I have two brothers, one who is 8 years older and one who is 2 years younger. When we were younger none of us got along. We had physical fights and a lot of troubles. Now we're mostly grown and I love them both. I love visiting my older brother and talking to him. I still fight with my younger brother some, but we're friends. I can't wait for 20 years to pass and to know our families.
I've always wanted a bunch of kids. Not too many, but three or four. And I never want to have only one because I've seen how lonely those kids are. However, in my short life I have also solidly decided I want no more than four kids.
when i was 19 i didn't want children. i liked playing with other people's kids, but had no intentions of having my own. at 32 i changed my mind and i now i have a lovely little guy (he is 2). i liked being pregnant, giving birth and enjoyed his infancy, but i can't imagine having another child. its soooo much work - my honey and i were exhausted for a year straight (halucinating exhausted).
my husband and i are both only children. i have never had to deal with a bickering sibling and am pretty happy for it. don't worry about an only child being lonely - we find each other (most of my friends are only children too) and keep each other company just fine.
