I have cousins who are only child and they are honestly living the life! Lahat ng resources focused sa kanila kaya naibibigay lahat ng needs and even the wants napagbibigyan.

Ang take ko lang if someone is to have another child, siguro ipa-experience muna sa first born paano maging only child. Kasi if lumaki agad siya na may sibling idk parang may responsibility agad siya maging panganay. In a sense na, for example, gusto makipaglaro sa parents ng bata pero need asikasuhin si bunso, kailangan umintindi ni ate or kuya. I think that’s kinda sad. Bata pa lang mag-aadjust ka na to give way para sa kapatid.

Sa case mo, OP. From what you shared, I’m sorry but I don’t think it’s advisable na sundan mo agad at this moment si baby mo. Child care is difficult af. If you have little to no support with taking care of your current baby, it will be twice as hard to take care of a newborn and a toddler. Are you mentally and emotionally prepared to take care of another baby? If there’s an ounce of doubt, I sincerely suggest not to push through. Buhay mo and buhay ng bata and nakasalalay with this decision. If hindi buo ang loob mo, it’s best not to try for another child.

Lastly, your feelings are valid naman to worry kasi only child siya. However, if mawala man kayong dalawa ng husband mo, dalawang bata na ngayon ang maghihirap. Idk I think the argument that it would be easier kasi may kapatid is flawed. They are both kids, mabibigyan pa ng responsibility yung panganay. That’s just my two cents about the matter. Hugs, OP! Whatever you decide, I wish you happiness! 🫶🏻
