Hi everyone, I am only 20 and recently had my baby boy. Although myself and partner are still very young we just want the one. Of course we very May well change our minds however myself and my partner had awful upbringings, both parents divorced, lots of nastiness on both sides. Therefore we want to give our son everything - definitely not spoilt. Already both sides of family are saying you can't just have one it's not fair it's torture, etc. But I will be taking my boy to lots of baby groups etc and preschool when older, he also has 2 cousins. All a year apart so they already spend so much time together. Obviously I might change my mind but I feel so privileged to have my son as both my mum and Nan and great grandmother were unable to carry boys. I feel so lucky to have him and want to give him my all. Will he grow up wishing he had a sibling? I already feel guilty for him that I don't want more. Any advice would be much appreciated! And in today's society I'm worried for him :/ thank you everyone :)
