I think being an only child has it ups and downs like having siblings has its ups and downs. U are never really going to have that perfect balance. I dont regret being an only child either. I think it was fantastic. Im a very independent person now and very determined. This is what helped me be able to cope with absolutely everything with my mums passing.

I wasnt anti social at school cos I was an only child or anything. I had heaps and heaps of friends and was in the popular group as well. I adapted to other groups as well and changed groups (sorry thought u might want to know about how an only child as myself adapted to social experiences).

I find these days its not just medical reasons that stop u from having more than one child too. Its financial as well and the way everything is going up in price at the moment, its only going to get worse. Im pregnant with my second and I have absolutely no idea how we are going to afford it (Daycare is $360 a week for 2 for us).

I guess if u can and u want to go ahead and if u cant or u dont want to dont do it.
