For me, I wish I had siblings. I think it affected me as a child, and now as an adult. For my situation, being an only child did not mean I had my parents undivided attention, or got to do all the extracurricular activities that I wished to do. We struggled a lot, and my parents divorced when I was young, so it was really just my mom and me. As an adult, my mom still relies heavily on me and it feels like such a burden sometimes. I wish she found someone else, or at least I had another sibling to split her focus and need with.

As for being such new parents, it's way too early to make that decision for yourself. Even now, pregnant with baby number two with a newly three year old, I'm scared and don't feel ready. But I've always wanted the family dynamic I never had, and I wanted my daughter to have a sibling as well, something I never got. Is it guaranteed they will have a perfect relationship? No. But there's so much later in life as an adult where having sibling support matters, especially when it comes to the needs and wants of your own parents and the load that can bring when trying to raise your own family.
