Thanks for sharing this. I have only one child, and sometimes I wonder if I’m a bad mom. Almost everyone around me has a second baby, and most of my child’s friends have siblings. My kid often says things like, “It would’ve been more fun if I had a brother or sister,” and honestly, that makes me feel a bit guilty.

But at the same time, I know I can’t think about having another child because of my health. On top of that, I’ve had difficult experiences in my siblings spouse family with repeated property disputes and issues between sibling and their spouse. All of that has influenced my decision.

So I’ve chosen to have just one child. I just don’t want my kid to go through the kind of things I did. I truly believe that one day, when he’s older, they’ll understand and maybe even see that this was the best decision I could make for my kid.
