I didn't *hate* being an only child but I would have liked to have siblings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-an-only-child-did-you-want-more-than-1-lo#post-1757453 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:22:49 +0000 ILoveLettie 1757453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: That's how I feel too (about our family being complete and being happy and satisfied), though I'm not an only (I have one sister who I didn't grow up that close with but am close with now). I always thought I wanted 2 kids, like I grew up with, until I had one and our family felt complete. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-an-only-child-did-you-want-more-than-1-lo#post-1757450 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:22:26 +0000 sapphire 1757450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not technically an only but was essentially raised as one...I definitely want 2 or 3! I really wish I had close sibling relationships. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-an-only-child-did-you-want-more-than-1-lo#post-1757444 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:20:35 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1757444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm kind of the only child; my brother and I are 8 years apart. I never longed for a playmate and was content playing by myself. </p> <p>I know I "should" have another, but I'm not sure if I'm able to, and we're still trying to figure out if we really want another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-an-only-child-did-you-want-more-than-1-lo#post-1757442 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:20:29 +0000 OsoInGreenAndGold 1757442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only child here, and I'm about 99% sure that I want to have another. I actually loved being an only child, but, now that I'm an adult, I would love to have a sibling. More than anything, I don't want the burden of dealing with us in our old age to fall solely on my son's shoulders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-an-only-child-did-you-want-more-than-1-lo#post-1757438 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:18:31 +0000 Weagle 1757438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I'm an only and DH essentially grew up like an only. We're having at least 2, maybe 3 or 4. We'll take it one at a time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-an-only-child-did-you-want-more-than-1-lo#post-1757437 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:18:26 +0000 DillonLion 1757437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an only and wanted lots until I had one. Now I want an only ;) She's not overly challenging, rather the opposite. I just feel really happy, satisfied, and like our family is complete. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-an-only-child-did-you-want-more-than-1-lo#post-1757434 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:17:26 +0000 mamimami 1757434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I am an only and I have two kids :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-an-only-child-did-you-want-more-than-1-lo#post-1757428 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:14:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 1757428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is an only and only wants one (so far!).</p> <p>He never longed for a sibling and has a really great set of very close, lifelong friends (multiple 25+ year friendships), so for him, being an only really only had upsides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-an-only-child-did-you-want-more-than-1-lo#post-1757336 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 12:52:26 +0000 mrsjyw 1757336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is an only child and has always wanted a soccer team! :P (He said he always longed for a sibling)</p> <p>Now that we have DS, we are going to TTC #2 soon but he says "we'll see how tired I am" about a maybe #3 in the future. When before he wanted as many as I could give him! :P </p>
