anybody here has 1 child and is contented? 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

I have one son, and for a while, I've been anxious in finding the right man just so I could settle down and he could have a sibling without a big age gap. I'm an only child myself and I guess that's where my anxiety and urgency came from - not wanting my son to grow up being lonely like I was, not having a sibling to rely on and to shoulder the future burden of looking after me (and my future partner, if any) by himself. Being an only child, I grew up being envious about my friends who have siblings when I was going through tough times - but I was also thankful/glad I didn't struggle the way they did on their bad days. The grass is always greener on the other side, so there's definitely pros and cons for both :) As a result, I burned myself out - trying to earn as much as I could, be somewhat successful in my career, find the right man who would love my son and I ... I got too tired from it all that I ended up not having the time or energy for my son at all. What I'll advise is that you just let things happen. If you're thinking of having another child just so your current one has a sibling, then that's not the right reason to do so! And if you want another child for other reasons, it sounds like it's not the right time to be having another child for you either so ... Let nature take its course :) What's meant to be, will be - and what's not, won't come no matter how hard you try.
