I grew up alone, my Mom was forced to leave when I was 9 months old. It was lonely growing up. My Mom came back into the picture slowly from age 5 on and when I was 9 she moved back to the same town. It was a bitter custody battle; but when my sister was born when I was 10 I could not have been happier. It was the best day I could ever remember.
I only got to see her twice a week, but as she got older I got to spend more time with her. I spent all my paper route money on toys for her and she was the apple in my eye.
I am ten years older and we are still close to this day. I am forever grateful that my Mom re- married a great man who I call Dad; and that I was able to have a sister.
She is allsome, btw she is the defending co-champion of Tread's handicapping league....pretty cool.

Hope this helps OP

He does have a bazillion boy cousins now tho so I say he'll be fine

crazy, my mom grew up in Addison.

but I always wonder about cousins. on my dad's side I have 15 cousins, but never saw them more than once a year growing up. wonder how cool it would be to have cousins that you see on a regular basis/live in the same city as. seems like a great way to have instant friends/people you can bond with your whole life.

You didn't read the confession's thread?

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

ps I was an only child until 11 years old. we got along great once old enough to relate. and before, I would babysit etc. if you can afford it I think more kids are great

I played a bunch of team sports (football, baseball, basketball, soccer, and hockey) year round, and coincidentally 2 of my best friends were only children as well. It wasn't too bad. I do often wish I had a brother or sister though.

It does feel a little bit weird nowadays, because both my parents came from big families so I had a shitton of uncles and cousins and etc etc, and it's a little strange to think that my kid(s) won't have that, but I'm fine with it. On balance, I'm glad things worked out as they did.

seriously? why?

are you capable of having another in all ways but choose not to? You choose to have your kid grow up not sharing his life with another sibling?

Did you have a kid...realize it was a lot of work and say fuck that shit i dont want another?

Please explain the logic, cause it really is strange to me.

Why does it make more sense to have kids until the point that you are no longer able to (physically,mentally,financially,etc)?

I bet that even you have a limit on how many kids you want.

its 50/50 that it'll a girl and PFFFFT who wants that? im not trying to deal with that headache, i got my boy, i win at life
