I'm an only child and really never wished for siblings, however it was never my mother's choice that I was the only one. My dad left when I was 2 and she never had an opportunity to provide me with a sibling (so it's not always for financial reasons that people only have 1 child).

I am extremely social and have a close group of friends and never felt that I missed out by not having siblings, however I still wanted DD to have a sibling. We will have 3 years between our 2 and I don't think that it is a big gap. My mum and her sister are 7 years apart and are incredibly close.

Spice, Charli is still very young and so are you so you do have a few years up your sleeve with giving her a sibling (yeah check out my age ).
