One kid or more kids ?
Anyone here has only one kid and regret of not having more than one kid ? Or are you happy with one kid ?
I have two kids 3 1/2 and 2 years old. And another on the way. It’s freakin’ hard but so worth it. Having the thought of just one kid makes it seem so lonely. Build an army. That’s my opinion
1. Why do you want to have multiple kids? 2. How much do you earn to give them a good lifestyle and also save for your own future? 3. How do you have the energy to work all day, cook, get kids ready for school, bedtime, homework etc and not feel tired?
Always have more than 1
I have one and I am very happy. To me there is nothing off or lonely about an only child. She’s my everything. There is an intimacy (in a good way) in our little family of 3 and we spend a lot of time together - just doing everyday things and occasionally traveling together. She gets plenty of socialization at school and other activities over the weekends. The only thing I worry about is perhaps dealing with elderly parents as an only child but we will do our very best as parents to setup our retirement and end of life planning.
What disadvantages will you have with another kid? All of the above will be true with 1 or 2 kids.
The question is asking if you are happy with 1 kid and I am saying that I am and what I like about it. Especially when all the answers are talking about lonliness and such for a single kid. If you feel they are the same then good for you. Why stop at 2? I am sure there are parents who feel the same about more than 2 as well. But I am speaking for what I know.
I have 11months and 3 years. The last year was hard, but generally I’m more happy. I except that they would play together soon
