Absolutely I wish I had siblings. Unfortunately my mom had trouble conceiving after me. I enjoyed growing but definitely wish I had a siblings. Being the only child gets lonely. I definitely plan on have at least 3 more kids.

I desperately wanted a sibling

I feel bad I’m 100% one and done I can’t go through this again but will feel bad for my daughter 😢

I loved and hated not having siblings at the same time because everyone's attention was always on me as a child but I wished I had someone to play with and spend time with because I lived in the country too so no friends around either. However, now that I'm older, I wish I had siblings just so that my son would have aunties/uncles and potentially cousins (my partner is an only child too so none on his side either).

I wanted a sibling really bad when younger, my parents looked into adoption too, we are currently trying for a second baby next month x
Thank you ladies for your responses as they've made my decision to try for a 2nd a bit clearer...lol. I unfortunately don't have any family or friends who are singletons to get their opinions. I've also considered other factors such as finances..lol. I grew up with siblings and loved it! Thanks again 💞💞
