I was an only child and our daughter will be an only child.Many people talk about what a child will miss out on but there are so many good things that a child can also get by being an only child. I've never felt like I missed out on something at all.
I will say that I think much of that is becuase i ahve a big extended family and I was with my cousins a lot. We also all had summer cottages in the same are so we spent the summers all around each other. My parents also had me involved in things and around other kids quite a bit.
I think Only children get a bad rap sometimes and there are so many great things that should be included. BUT... like i said... i think having such an extended family around me all the time madea big difference.
I also have several cousins who are only children and they have siad pretty much the same thing when asked.
