Being an only child
Nice to meet you.
I'm a mother with a 3-year-old only son.
I would like to ask for opinions on leaving them an only child due to parents' circumstances.
economic reasons,
The fact that I don't have the confidence to raise more children due to my immaturity,
I don't like making my son feel lonely when I get pregnant or give birth for the second time because my son is too important,
The fact that I caused trouble to others in terms of my physical condition during my last pregnancy,
I'm thinking of making them an only child, etc.
My husband doesn't particularly want a second one either.
But the surroundings are different.
“Is there a second one yet?” It was said many times, and “an only child is a pity” attack.
My mom friends who gave birth to a son around the same time have all given birth to their second child.
When I heard a fun story about a family of four, I decided I couldn't make siblings for my son
I also feel guilty.
Actually, maybe I want a second child myself.
But anxiety about future living expenses, and child-rearing, which has finally become easier,
Also, I don't have the mental leeway to take care of a newborn from scratch.
It also makes my heart feel better when I think I don't have to give birth anymore.
Raise an only child in an environment where 2 or 3 children are commonplace
Could you give me some advice?
I wonder if a son who can't have siblings due to such parents' circumstances is still a poor child.
