Do they really need siblings?i feel so tired managing work child and housework, cant imagine if i have 2 i wld really hv zero me time.it's not gd for our marriage either. Is there really a need to "suffer so much just to give yr child a sibling"? also i dont have parents staying with me so it is already tough w one

Well honestly some siblings grow up to become "enemies" or "strangers" so I really don't see the logic of having another child just to give your existing child a sibling/rival. I was contemplating to stop at one child after I gave birth because it was tough coping in the first year. But after the first year, my kid got easier to handle and my Husband said he spoke to some who only have one child and they have regrets about it. So I decided ok, have another one to Ensure we have no regrets when we grow older. Also, so that my no.1 won't feel so heavily burdened when we grow older. With that said, I really don't view that the children's point of existence is to be each other playmates. I only hope that they can be like good friends, at least friends who have a good or ok relationship when they grow up. One of mutual respect.
