One and done.

But sometimes what you're not done with are people's comments.

Really? You don't want him to have a sibling?

Isn't she going to be lonely?

Or your own self-doubt.

I think maybe there's uncertainty about

I know what it looks like when you have siblings

I don't know what it looks like when you don't so that's kind of scary to think so I think in the

uncertainty people saying things have like spoiled no social sales alone.

I'm like, shit, is that true?

What is, I don't know, I've never had that experience before.

So is there something I'm actually missing here

that I need to be clued in on.

And if it is, I don't like what you guys are saying anyway.

Only children get a bad rap.

They're spoiled.

They don't know how to share.

They lack social skills. They're too dependent.

And while these are gross generalizations, if you grew up in a big family with

siblings, it can be daunting to imagine being a parent to an only child,

especially if the road to your parenting journey wasn't an easy one, and the

family you initially envisioned is different than the one you have now.
