Did you regret having two kids?

posted 17th Nov
I have been extremely back and forth about having another baby. I know I want one, but I'm scared I'll regret it.

I'm content with one child, but I think I would feel bad if she grew up as an only child. My brothers are 10 and 14 years older than me and I pretty much felt like an only child growing up. I didn't have anyone to play with etc. My mom's friend lived with us off and on and she had a daughter 2 years younger than me, and when she was with me, those were some of the best times of my childhood.

I'm just so scared I'll have a second and just... regret it. Has anyone else ever felt like this?

My kids are 21 months apart. It's been crazy, it's still crazy and now I'm unexpectedly expecting number 3. lol.

At times, I've thought about how easy it would've been to just have the one but I've definitely never regretted it.

How much of an age difference is there? If I do have another one I'm going to stop taking birth control on DD's second birthday, if I conceive quickly they'll be almost 3 years apart. I think I could handle that.

My kids are 7 years apart and we all love it! I don't regret two or waiting as long as we did.

I sometimes worried that having a 2nd would take away attention from the first.
Since my kids were born 7 years apart, and I had originally decided I would only have one, my eldest was an only child and the complete center of my universe.
Then I fell in love, got married, & it felt natural to have another baby, and I dont regret it at ALL! Now I have a precious little boy in addition to my beautiful princess girl, and feel that life could not have blessed me with more!!!!!!!!!!

I only have one and I'm kind of on the same page not that I'd regret having another because I don't think I could but, I'm definitely nervous/scared to have another whenever that comes. DH goes back and forth a lot when LO was only a few months old he wanted me to get pregnant again and I was like no way! Now, he says he'd be fine with just the one we have.

Its definitely the smartest thing to do financially for sure but, I imagine being an only child is lonely as much as my brother and I fought I couldn't imagine if he was never around. We could give a better life to one child than to two or more. Easily can work something out if LO wants to do sports, easily work a way to pay for college but obviously it'd be much harder to do that for both, if its even possible.

I'm torn. I don't know. Lol. I feel ya though.
