I just have the one son & I do sometimes wish I'd had another child but for different reasons I didn't.
Do any of you with just one child regret not having any more? |

I have 2 boys but a 5 year age gap (about to turn 14 & 9 - not out of choice) which is just rubbish - they are very different & like doing different things. Sometimes I think I'd rather have just 1 or wish they could've been closer together.
The older one won't be around in a couple of years if he joins the army as planned so then it'll be like just having 1 again |

My mum only has me, I'm sure she's never regretted having more 
Funnily enough, she always said that if she didn't have any children before she was 30 she wasn't having any at all. I was born exactly 23 days before her 30th birthday. |

Do any of your children ever say they wished they had a brother or sister?
Mine did when he was younger but isn't bothered anymore. He has a good set of friends. |

I have 3 kids! The oldest hated being an only child until I had the first of her siblings 12 years later - she then wished she was an only child again!
My younger two were born exactly 18 months apart. I had this romantic fantasy in my head in which they grew up as best friends, always there for each other! They loathe each other and avoid being together whenever possible!!
I adore all my kids and we're a relatively happy family - but there's no such thing as a perfect family or the perfect number of children! Xx |

I only have one child and will always regret not having anymore. I can find it very upsetting at times if I allow myself to dwell on it and my daughter has said that she wishes that she had a brother or sister which breaks my heart even more but I have friends who can't have children so I count my blessings that I have her. |
