A Panel of Moms with One Child Families

Parenting any number of children is a challenging process. But being the parent of an only child brings with it a unique set of challenges, struggles, and joys. Joining us to discuss their lives as the mothers of just one child are Rochelle Fritsch, Beth Albright, and our guest co-host Katrina Cravy.

25 & pregnant with my first & this will be my last. I couldn’t imagine going through this again. Your body goes through so so much during pregnancy. I really am amazed at women who have one than one child, I know deep in my soul my husband & I will only have one & our little family will be more than enough for us. ♥️

As a 30 Year old only child, who is married and now has four of her own, I feel that it made me a strong mother who knows what individual attention feels like and being spoiled rotten. Don’t ever regret the decision to have one child. You’ve taught that one child how to love unconditionally and fully. I feel that I am too affectionate with my children at times lol. I have an amazingly strong relationship with my my parents, and the children see that and I mirror that 🤷🏿‍♀️ everything happens for a reason.

This made me feel so much better about my situation. Always wanted more kids. Was blessed to have just one. Experienced fertility problems after number one and couldnt get pregnant again. Finally have come to terms with having just one child and hearing stories of other women like these ones makes me feel so much better and helps me realize how happy i already am with my one child. :-)

I'm 21 with a 1 year old. She's my 1st and only child. I don't have the desire to be pregnant again & don't want to start over.

I have one child and after my son 4 miscarriages. I felt very guilty, that i can't give him a brother or sister. It's society pressure. I feel blessed with him❤, and my great husband❤

I am so proud to be a mom of an only child but that doesn't mean it comes without its challenges including with my mental health. That is why I love life coaching since it has changed my life in so many ways❤️ Amanda Burrows Coaching

Watching this a second time. 2 years later. Haha. I truly enjoy this interview, the laughter in the room and genuine conversation between these mamas.

Only children are more mature for sure cos they spend more time with their parents. I have only one child and I suffer with guilt. But to see this makes me happy

[padmeraven]

I have one and I love having a close relationship with my daughter.

Thanks for making this video. It definitely helped me evaluate my own situation in the world. 🌎👍

[EvalineT]

I have one, and thanks for reminding me how hard it was 😆

[violetm]

Only who has an only because I actually loved my childhood

[SisterSanMiguel]

I’m pregnant now and I couldn’t do it again. My husband doesn’t understand but I don’t care

[billydiaz]

As an only child I can say I find people with siblings to be competitive and oblivious. Just sayin'

Truth- at age 16 my mom and I were in the car and she told me what life lesson she learned at almost 40 years old- what was funny is that I had that same epiphany of the exact same life lesson, just the week before she told me she just realized it. 😅 so yeah, I agree with the emotional maturity. Had a really hard time relating intellectually to kids my own age in the 4th grade- they wanted to send me ahead grades but my mom said no. Lol

How can one child be smarter. Who are you comparing them to. And if they have siblings it challenges them.
It works for some people. I like the quite home but I know others that like multiple children.
Where is the pic of the lady that has a daughter?

[Vale-kgvd]

It all depends on how parents treat them I know smart lonely children and less smart. Spoiled one and non spoiled ones

[saharmehmood]

I want be a mom of 1 kid as well, but i am afraid if my child turns 20 and passes away? What will i do then?

[marilynshelton]

The black mom looks weirded out by the white ladies and their sons when she has a daughter and seems okay with it.
