It wouldn't. -- nm - mara Apr 8, 10:58
I'd feel that his position is stronger, but not to a degree that I'd begrudge her the feelings she has. - Will Hunting Apr 8, 10:53
it really boils down to the same thing, needing to have an honest conversation about each's priorities in the relationship - znufrii Apr 8, 10:44
I think it's completely different - one child is a whole different ballgame then the ole bait/switch. In a one child family - maybe the husband - Epiphany Apr 8, 10:42
I would certainly appreciate an ST debate about the pros and cons of having a single child. - Dr.Vermin Apr 8, 10:39 13
- we're thinking 2, if and when the time comes - znufrii Apr 8, 11:02
- When we had one, I thought I wanted three. Now that I have two, I think I'm done. - TFox Apr 8, 10:49 1
  - Yeah, we'll probably aim for three to four (both came from big families ourselves), but will assess along the way. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 8, 10:59
- I have no idea how to even discuss it - I was almost an only child, I raised an only child - not sure how it would be different - Epiphany Apr 8, 10:48 1
  - I really, really love having one. It's simpler, we can afford it, we have more time for him, and space. But... - Amy Apr 8, 11:04
- Can't speak from anywhere but observation, but I believe multiple is the way to roll. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 8, 10:47
- Oh, Time did a cover story on it that made me feel better. - Amy Apr 8, 10:42 4
  - Hmm. Good stuff. Now I have to research my predjudice against 2nd-born children. - Dr.Vermin Apr 8, 10:49 3
    - *coughs* - loosilu Apr 8, 10:52 2
      - *thanks you* -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 11:00
      - /sends Mrs. Vermin to get her tubes tied. - Dr.Vermin Apr 8, 10:59
- kids with siblings often turn out weird as well. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:41
- i don't think that's a given. i think you just need to be sure your kids spend *lots* of unstructured time with other kids if they are only children. - Andie Apr 8, 10:40
