I am an only child. I suppose being spoiled and having the full attention was good. But i really was quite lonely. My dad left my mum when i was only 16 months old. So it was just me and her. I've always wanted a sibling. DH is also an only child. This is the reason why we now have 2 kids and want at least 4-5. Our kids won't have any aunts, uncles or cousins. So we want Lily to at least have siblings. Otherwise our family would be quite small.
