(My parents said that, if he had been born first, they never would have had another.). I knew not to panic at every single wail.

now if you want a real discussion of the pros and cons of growing up without siblings you should do exactly what you have been doing--read what the commentors here and abroad have to say. The thing is its not about YOU. Sure, many parents of single children complain that they actually have a more difficult time because the onus of entertaining the child falls entirely on the parents, but that argument can only carry so much weight.

That means what he said isn't in and of itself offensive, but that what he implied through his/her word choice, syntax, and the anecdote he/she relates IS indeed offensive to parents of one child households.

I'm fed up of that..I'm so angry...Makes me think about giving up showing up at her school, dopping her at the door and waiting outside. It is biased, rude and judgemental and as a therapist, he should know one must not judge!!! If I speak with the parents of these singletons, it's obvious that the children are a product of the environment that the parents created, either knowingly or unknowingly. In my case I took several months off after our new baby was born so I ended up being chief babysitter for our older son. It is the parenting, not the number of kids in a family. I was the same age exactly and had the exact same situation. An only child has no one to grow up with. I see many parents who decided to have only one child, and they seem awfully peaceful! There's competition, jealousy, and lots of hatred sometimes between siblings.

Most people don’t have the emotional and financial ability to handle one, let alone two or more children.

We never thought about it in “easier or harder” terms. We’d be outnumbered!

With 3? I don't criticize those with NO children (whether it was a choice or not) one child (choice or not), or more. Would you believe it took 3 of us the morning after she was born to get her into her new car seat and get all the straps adjusted, just so we could take her 5 blocks to her naming? What about those "pain in the butt" mothers who start telling you about every Einstein experience from every child of theirs? Take a look at some famous only children and how they have succeeded - Olympic Swimmer Missy Franklin, UMBC President Freeman A. Hrabowski, III, and Condoleezza Rice, among many others.

Al: How old are your little ones? Also, 90% of the expenses of raising kids, but with only one. It wasn’t that I forgot how to breastfeed or dress a baby, but I was so much more tired than I remembered being 25 years previously. Thus I never got to participate in normal childhood activities and was ordered to be grown up by time I entered school. One of our friends said, simply, “You’ll be outnumbered.” We are, and it isn’t always easy. Every time I’m tempted to romanticize the days when my wife and I had only one child, I remind myself of the “three Bs” — the criteria that must be met before any of our three kids canget us out of bed early on a Saturday morning. Here’s a novel idea. It certainly is different times isn’t it Nancy. I am one of three, love my sisters and couldn't imagine life without them. You can not preorder families. Of course there are always times growing up where it would be nice, but on the flip side I've had an amazing childhood with loving parents who love each other and consider me a blessing. to have "just" one child, often after years of infertility treatments, miscarriages, etc.

It wasn't a choice - we just don't think we can handle any more heartache. But your use of the work babysitting is a bit upsetting in this context. We are aware of the stereotypes and try hard to make sure he has plenty of social activity and is not treated like a little adult.

Al: Our boys have started playing together for a few months now. I am so sad that he does not have a sibling and I probably will not be able to change that. Specifically, someone should be Bleeding, Barfing or not Breathing. Read more: 10 signs you’re probably done having kids>. I figure that will be a big change when they help entertain each other. I know of plenty of parents with more than one child who are selfish! My husband, Rajesh, and I have two children, and we are knackered. We both have siblings and didn't plan for an only child... but after four consecutive miscarriages, we think we are done.
