The best feeling is knowing you're done. It honestly doesn't matter how many kids anyone chooses to have. No one should ever have to defend their personal reasons as to how many kids they have.

I always hear about people who have a second child to be a playmate for their older sibling. I know so many people that dont speak to their siblings and aren't friends at all. It's not a guarantee that they'll be friends and get along.

I honestly don’t know how anyone has more than one child after experiencing the newborn stage lol The thought of going through that again, on TOP of taking care of a toddler makes me want to cry 😅

Also, having another child for the sole purpose of giving your kid a playmate is more of a "selfish" thing to do than choosing to have an only child. If I was conceived only for that reason of being a playmate, that would feel really crummy. the only reason to have a child should be because you really want one. Never underestimate the power of friendship - you know, the people you choose to have in your life. Sometimes that is better than having siblings as those relationships don't always turn out so great...

Theres something I really enjoy about it being just the three of us. I can't really explain it but it's special.

I was an only child it was great. There are pros and cons to both. I got everything I wanted. I had imagination and enjoyed playing alone or with parents. I had tons of cousins and friends. The drawback as an adult is I can be selfish at times, have trouble thinking about others feelings, and compromise. I never had to so when I got with my husband those were challenges for me. Those skills you learn with siblings can help you as an adult. I still turned out great and I am very independent and love my alone time to this day.

I love having just one child. We have an amazing bond and we also love to travel as a family. Great video :)

I was 39 when my son was born and I'm now 48. He just turned 9. I actually never thought I wanted kids in the first place, then by the time I got married I was 35. At 38 the doctor told us we couldn't conceive and I found out I was pregnant 2 months later. I kind of always knew if I had kids I'd only want one. My son is an amazing boy. He's funny, intelligent, and kind. He is a hard worker and is on the honor roll. He is the light of my life.
I was an only child myself, and I can tell you that I never really felt sad about it. I always had friends. My best friend has a sister, and considers me more of a sister than her actual sister, so there's no guarantee that siblings will be friends.

I would never trade our little family!

Having 1 child family is the best! Me and my wife have a daughter and straight away we realised that having more was not going to work for us. We want to focus all our love to the kid as well as to each other as we are married and still need time to love each other. 1 and done families are extreme love filled homes and if you add a puppy well come on you reach heaven!!

[ilikedogs]

I hate that whenever I say I only want one kid, everyone is like “it’s going to be so lonely! You’re so selfish!” Look, I only want one so I can put all of my love and support into that kid.

[nathalieandparis]

I totally agree. I’m an only child and had such an amazing upbringing. I really hope my children will love me as much as I love mine. I know it sounds cheesy but my parents knew how to be parents and showed me discipline, respect, love, morals and affection. The list goes on. My parents are 100% my best friends but knew when to be the parent. I was a very content and placid child and that says a lot. I was never screaming for attention. To be honest, I’m still a very placid and content person and I’m now 30. I loved what you said about the three musketeers that is totally us too.

Just came across this video as currently battling with the idea of having an only child! This has helped! We are choosing to have an only child to preserve my mental health xx

You're 41! Aging has left the chat...

This video helped so much! I absolutely loved the refreshingly honest benefits of raising an only child. I’m a FTM with my first and ONLY due this May 2018 and this pregnancy has been really hard on hubby and I. We really enjoyed life with it just being us two, traveling and many different experiences. So we know adding a little ONE would be a perfect addition to our lifestyle along with providing him/her the world. We also love animals and will always have a dog in our lives so I feel that along with one child would be enough for each of us all around. Thank you for making this video it’s so nice to hear from similar minds coming from similar hearts

Yay singletons! ❤️❤️❤️ my daughter is 7 and I’ve always enjoyed just having her. She is lucky to have close cousins but I love having an only child. I remember when I was younger I had a friend that was an only child, she was the sweetest most sharing person. I actually learned a lot from her in that. It made me realize that stereotype is not true. She most likely became really generous because she didn’t grow up with forced sharing and scarcity and was more eager to make friends because she didn’t have other kids to play with at home.

I was youngest of 3 with a 5 year gap between and I can't say for sure but I don't think I really benefitted from having siblings. Maybe if the gap was a year or two but we were all in different stages. Parents money and time was spread thin too! I only have the one child and I think how much more opportunities he will get compared to me. He'll get all our time and effort ❤️

I'm an only child and my fiance and I have planned to only have one child due to financial reasons. I'm 32 and am also "starting late" as we haven't tried yet (getting married in a month). So glad I found this video as it makes me feel better about my being an only child, and our choice to have an only child.

[KatelynDawn]

I was the youngest by MANY MANY years so I grew up very alone and on my own and didn't really grow up "with" siblings. I'm introverted and happy to be alone. I love my peaceful and quiet life working at home and hanging with my dogs. I'm nervous to have kids, not sure I will, but if I do, I know that I would only be able to have 1. People also need to consider what they are comfortably able to commit to and can physically handle without falling apart. I know that if I chose to have 1 child I could commit to that and be a good mom... if I had 2 I think I would shrink into being a depressed shell of myself as it would be too much of a burden of responsibility to carry, too stressful and loud and busy with way too much going on. People have limitations. I've thought that I would have 1 child, and if I desired another one way down the road, adoption is definately an option. You can only have children to a certain age before it could effect your health and the health of a child so that is totally fine when people choose to have 1 child because of health reasons, age reasons or becuase they know they will be a better parents just having 1 kid. My thoughts :)

Only child familly is the best type of familly it can avoid a lot of issues. Financialy or socialy.... an only child will grow with all the attention and love he need from his parents.

I’m a young mom. I was 21 when I had my daughter & I’m 23 now. My husband doesn’t really want more kids. I’ve been back and forth for the past 15 months because everyone keeps asking when we are having the next kid. Truth is I feel like it’s sooo much work already I’m not sure I can handle any more. I also went through post partum depression and I’m scared of getting it again but this time with 2 kids. We have a girl pitbull who is only a few months older than our daughter and we raised her since 6weeks old. Training a pitbull while pregnant and hormonal was a huge pain. I love her but it was so stressful. I imagine it will be similar to be pregnant while caring for a toddler. I also don’t want to give up myself to just being a mother. I want to travel. We took our first family vacation when our baby was 4 months old and even tho I was breastfeeding and didn’t have to carry bottles or anything it was hard. I think I would rather dedicate my time to really spending one on one time with my daughter and having more financial freedom to take her on fun trips. She’s already walking and potty training I feel like I finally have some more “me” time. And as much as I love being her mom, I need time to be a wife, dog owner and time for myself. I don’t think I can expand my time and energy any more.
