My younger self could have used that same advice. I also felt the same way about having my daughter be the 'only' child. I really enjoyed your answers.

I was an only kid for eight years, and begged for it to end. I was thrilled when it did, and still am.

I would love to answer some questions from you, if you would... Fascinating, as usual. I was an only kid for eight years, and begged for it to end. I was thrilled when it did, and still am.

I've often wondered about being an only child, because we pondered it so with Liam. Amazing answers, bon, particularly the one about only child-ness.

I am moved. An regarding your thoughts on a sibling for Oscar (and Finn), I understand that too, from the same perspective. We are very much alike. (Hugs) Thanks for sharing - I love this stuff.
