I have one DD and although I would have liked another my husband decided we're not having anymore (he has a DS from previous marriage, but he is a teenager and we don't see a lot of him). It's been tough but I've accepted it eventually and decided to be happy with the beautiful DC I have and enjoy every minute. However, my DD who is coming up to 4 years keeps telling me she wants a baby sister. I've tried explaining mummy and daddy not having anymore babies and also explained that even if we did we can't be sure to have a baby sister. It's hard trying to explain to a 3 year old!!
Has this happened to anyone else with an only child? Is it a phase she is going through? It doesn't help that all our friends have already had their second or are about to have their second child.
