I’m an only child and could relate to this so much but whether an only child or having a “Brady Bunch Family”… each family size has some of good and bad concepts to them and we all will wonder about that I think. I enjoyed reading this.. thank you so much🤍
Thanks so much for reading and for the kind words, Susan! So glad you could relate to this. It was a really emotional one to put together. It drew more from me than I expected truthfully.
My daughter is an only child. I had her in my early 40s and was unfortunately not able to have another child. I do wish I had had her in my 30s so that I would be able to spend more time with her ongoingly. She’s in her 30s now and is doing very well, but I still wish I could have given her a little brother or sister.
I sometimes wish my parents had had me a little younger, but ultimately I think they were wise to wait. They would have both been far less wise and experienced people if they hadn't waited. There's definitely benefits to both routes and there are no correct answers!
A bigger family is often not better. A close friend with 6 siblings hates all of them, except one. And the relationship with that one is rough, too. The parents weren't good at building up positive relationships... She would have been much happier as an only child.

It's interesting how that can go both ways! I've seen a couple of families where that's the case. Thanks for reading, Tony!
