One and Done (OAD) Parents

I grew up as an only child and hated it. My mom was nuts and I always wished I had someone with me. I felt extremely lonely. I am afraid my son will feel the same way. Although I’m the complete opposite of my mom. She’s extremely toxic person. My husband has a brother and he said they never played or hung out together so he doesn’t understand how I feel. Because he had a sibling and they don’t have a relationship. I’m 41 he’s 42. Our son just turned a year. I think if we were a few years younger he would feel different. It took us many years to get pregnant. And we had one loss and then our perfect healthy boy. He feels complete. I don’t feel complete. I know I’m the opposite of my mom and I would never make my son feel the way she made me feel. But I hope he doesn’t grow up wishing he had a sibling. I don’t know how to be at peace with it.

To keep him engaged and interacting with me

My pregnancy was easy up until delivery which ended in a C-section so I can't get pregnant for another 2 more years anyway. But man I'd love to give my son a sibling without having to deal with the stress of having another mouth to feed. We are financially stable and okay but mentally I don't feel like we can handle having another kid. My fiance is pretty much leaving it up to me. I feel so torn and guilty for not wanting to provide a playmate for my son.

Hey guys I have a 15 month old and wanted to wait 2 or 3 more years then have another. My husband used to want 2 but only wants one now Id love to hear pros and cons to both sides. Thanks guys:)

Woe to anyone who says 'just hire a housekeeper' like, how about YOU hire me a housekeeper :)))
