Should i have another one?
Answer:
From what I have seen from my nephew, being the only child of my sister, he seems to be fine. He is 10 and he has lots of friends from school and home. I am the youngest of 5 and I love my family it is nice to have them around. Based on those two things it probably depends on the environment in which the child grows up in, that will shape how lonely, hurt, both or neither your son is.
If you don't want any more, then don't have anymore!! It's your decision!!
feel ur sons feelings! wait, dont do it real quick just decide and think about future. Yr choice...fun...brother sister fighing..marriage..pregnant thats what life are!
I went through that. My 2 1/2 year old little girl was upset when her new baby sister came. She wanted mommy to hold her like I used too. I couldn't anymore. I had to take care of the baby. She was very saddenned but now they have the sibling rivalry and a new sister. So now I have a 6,3 and 11 month old little girls. My husband wants to try again for a boy. I don't think the odds are in our favor and I keep trying to get him to adopt but he would rather try again. Their is going to be hurt at first. But eventually they do play with one another and bond. Siblings are great.
my wife was wconcerned about the same thing untill we had our sophia .she thought jacob would get jelous but he embraced his sister and we love them just the same .
It is your decision whether you want another baby or not. But alittle advice for you....my husband is an only child. He was very lonely as a child and believe me if you have any only child......you will be calling him all the time when he is older. I know that sounds odd.....But my mother-in-law calls us all the darn time and won't leave us alone and wants to know all of our business. So..just think things carefully. Good luck!!
do wat you think is right. its you that has to carry a baby for 9months
I can not imagine how different my life would be without my sister! As a mother of three, I can also say two little one's at one time was easier than one little one. They entertain and love each other. I will say though that making the right decision for you is the most important thing, not just to be expected to fit into a mold. Ask yourself questions. Do you have time for another? Is money an issue? Good luck with your decision.
i think u need to put ur feelings aside for a min. and consider ur husbands most kids want another kid around to play with to have someone their for them when their older yeah im sure they will get jealous but most kids do im sure u have enough love for more then 1 kid u might be surpised to find out that ur child may wont a sibling. mine does and shes 7 let ur child in on it and let him be a part if u do have another just dont leave him out
It depends on you, if you really don't want to have another baby, then you shouldn't (especially to please others) I was an only child, and I have 3 kids. Kids grow up with what they are given. My kids fight, yes. They get jealous of each other, yes. But they love each other VERY much and I think you have to keep it even and then there are no hard feelings about the "baby" or the "oldest". As parents, you have to create the right perception of the circumstance. If it is perceived as a happy, wonderful thing, that all family memebers are included in,then it always will be. Good luck in whatever you decide.
It wouldn't be that your son would be hurt by not having a sibling.But how do you truly feel about it.In the long run I think he would be better with a sibling.I have a niece and nephew that are only children and their parents are both regretting not have another child.All children are going to fight and say cruel things to each other,but don't use those experiences from enjoying another child.
You have to do what is right for you and your family. However, once you make your decision, don't listen to anyone else. I am the mother of a three year old girl who is an only child and will be an only child. It is amazing how little people respect our personal decision for the right size for our family. I feel like I have to defend our choice.
It is the right choice for us for a lot of reasons. Financially, we can do so much more for one child than we can for multiple children. Age - I never wanted to be an older parent - I had Jordan at 30 so I am done. As for having siblings, both my husband and I did not get along with our siblings growing up nor are we very close to them now. So giving you child a sibling isn't a guarantee.
My daughter has cousins close in age to her who are like siblings except they aren't together enough to constantly fight. We enrolled her in gymboree, dance classes and preschool to give her exposure to other kids and to help her with sharing both toys and attention.
Good luck!
well its ur decision.b/c ur the one who's going to carry the child and(possibly)nurse him not ur husband.and if u just keep the one that u have now he'll grow up spoiled and think that the world revolves around him.plus he will be lonely.he'll find other sources of friends tho.he probably will be lonely if u keep just him tho.
Sandy its o.k to have more than one kid and yes I agree that one kid might get lonely if it has no other sibling to play with. Its up to the both of you to make another baby, now you have to think on how its going to affect the two year old. Now your question is if your son will be lonely and hurt yes he may be lonely but not hurt because he has his two loving parents.
