I was an only child until my sister came along when I was 14 (same parents they just took their time LOL). Up until that time I can vividly remember constantly asking mum and dad for a brother or sister.

My parents spoilt me with love etc and I was my mums best friend but I really wanted a sibling. As much as my parents played with me, did things with me at the end of the day they were that much older then me. I was really quite lonely.

Dont rule anything out just yet Enigma. There is nothing wrong with waiting a few years. My own personal opinion is that I would never just have one child as I think that for all the gains you have when you are the only child there are just as many if not more negatives. But that is only my opinion.
