Another Late Intro....

in One & Done: Only child

Hi there ladies!! I just noticed this board and thought I would stop on in and give a intro. DH and I have been together for 15 years, married for almost 8 years, and DS is going to be 9months tomorrow.

We are pretty sure we are going to be one and done as well. I'm an only child, but DH has one sister (who is probably the biggest failure to a family I've ever seen, and DH agrees.) We have both said one and done since we started dating, and I think we are married to that idea now. Now that isn't to say that if we had a happy accident that we wouldn't be delighted, but we are having so much fun being just DS's Mama and Papa. He is so cool and he makes me smile when I've had the worst ever day.

One thing I do worry about with him being an only is the sharing aspect. I have a very hard time sharing some things in my life that I feel are soley mine and no one else's. So it is going to be very important to teach him that sharing is "the best" and only certain special things are his and his alone, not just random everyday things. So far it is going well (he shares his puffs and bath toys with me), so hopefully it won't be a problem in the future.

I can't wait to get to know you girls better!! This board is a wonderful thing to have.

    Sharing is definitely always been a struggle here. Daycare works on it quite a bit, but we definitely still have to deal with it all the time. I think it's partly the age, partly that she just doesn't have to share at home. When we have people with friend

    We definitely have to work at it.  My daughter is 2.5 years old, and we have been focusing on sharing for a looong time.  Any time she plays with another child we make sure to talk about it before hand.  It seems to have worked
