Single kids vs 2 or more grow up differently. Here's how I think :- Single Kid (Pros) Center of attention, pampering Gets his way through most things and gets what he/she wants Single Kid(Cons) Tends to get spoilt through excessive pampering Finds it difficult to share things with others Gets lonely at times Has to single handedly keep both parents happy with the right balance. Tends to get more jealous when parents show affection to other kids Two or more kids (Pros) Merrier home with more.. Love can be divided equally Two or more kids (Cons) Everyone's constantly fighting for attention Sibling rivalry can breed Parents can tend to pick favourites.. Parents constantly have to hear that they play favorites Basically these are top of the mind recall. But the list is endless.. But it comes to YOU-Can you handle more than one? Depends on the kind of person you are... THINK THINK THINK lots and then plan one or more..cheers!!

Having a sibling will teach your children to be share and be selfless. They will learn to work things out in times of conflicts. They will also learn about helping each other with chores and collaborating rather than working independently. The younger one will have someone to model after, and the older one will learn to be a role model. And most importantly, they have someone they could turn to. I am the youngest in the family and my brother and sister are great role models. They were also very protective of me and taught me how to care and share. As we grew older, we are more like close friends whom I could confide and share my problems with. I still look up to them and seek advice from them whenever needed. :)

Being a second child, I learned that having siblings make life so much wonderful--and I would not have it any other way. There is so much room for learning--from my eldest sister up to my youngest brother. Having siblings is equivalent to having a lifetime treasure. Having siblings have helped me to solve my problems, be it petty or serious ones. It also helped me become more articulate because of our arguments. Yes, we do argue and fight (a lot), but it's also our way of showing our love for one another. The feeling of being secured is also an advantage if you have siblings. You know you are not alone and you know they got your back--no matter what.

Your child will have someone to talk to. It may seem like a simple reason but it's one of the most awesome reasons to have a sibling. You'll never be alone when you're down because you have someone to talk to, especially if you are not comfortable sharing with your parents. The older I get, I realise that I share and talk more to my siblings than I do my best friends, especially since all 3 of us are living in different continents (Australia, Asia and Europe). It's never lonely with siblings, that's reason enough :)

It would depend on the kind of parent you are, but personally I am of the belief that when it comes to family and kids, the more the merrier. It'd be hell at first, not only for you and your partner, but for the children as well: there will be a lot of bickering and fights and tuition fees to be paid off, but everything will be worth it.
