And most of the time, common sense solves problem- the thing is, common sense, ironically, is not so common anymore.lol. Usually, a decision made lightly is one born out of wit and common sense.

So interesting to see one mother's thought process unfold, especially when it's as flawlessly written as this account. Sho Sho: Please submit more blogs!

I have several friends who are only children and are among the most well-adjusted, outgoing people I know. I grew up in a family with four kids, all close in age. I’d describe at least one of us as a loner and socially awkward. My daughter is an only child and has always been very verbal, social and outgoing. She loves being around other kids and begs for a brother or sister, which for a variety of reasons probably isn’t possible and something that’s still hard for me to accept. You probably still have plenty of time to have a second child—I was 42 when I had my daughter without fertility treatments. Good luck! Interesting piece.
