Raising a one and only child chat thread.

[Butterfly Child]

Im a mother of a 1 year old..i dont see another child in the near future.. i havent found the right person yet who id trust would stick by us.. the thought of having another child scares the hell out of me to as i had a traumatic pregnancy n birth, and the lack of support from a ''partner'' didnt help.

i know deep down theres another baby yet to come one day i hope.. it does upset me that DD wont have that closeness of a brother or sister close in age as i had with my siblings.. this does worry me abit!

Hey all, ATM we have one DD who is nearly 3 yo but we have been ttc # 2 for nearly 19 months. We decided when TTC that we would have 2 children and they would be close in age, but that is not to be

TBH I am scared of DD being an only child. I grew up with an older sister and younger brother and it was great & it is still great to have all that support around me, plus DD has got a fantastic Aunty & Uncle. My DH grew up an only child & he said it wasn't that bad growing up on his own (he does have 4 half sisters & 3 half brothers but he did not grow up with them)

Sometimes I think perhaps it is better if DD is an only child so I can focus on her & put all my energy & time into her rather than some time into her & the rest ttc..........

Be back later to continue to chat
