I am looking for a support group for mothers of only children. I lvie in Palmer MA. I have a 4 year old daughter.
I am trying not to be frustrated about having only one child and focusing on the positive aspects of it. I am almost 40 and my partner doesn't want any biological children. He loves the idea of fostering or adopting. I am not sure if we will actually do that though. My daughter always wants me to play with her, especially pretend play, and I just don't want to do that all time. I want to make sure she is getting enough play time with kids too; which she does in preschool and on other play dates. I am interested in connecting with others who have only children. And I appreciate the various advice from all you mommas. Thanks!
I have an only child - what are the reasons that you would you need a support group for this decision? Unless you wanted more and it wasn't possible (ie - infertility on the second child, etc.)
I have an only child by choice and no regrets whatsoever. She is 17 now.
Not sure what you are looking for but there are several moms here with onlies who are well adjusted, bright and not the "stigma" that many label onlies to be.
Good luck.
Hey there. I live in Nh. I have one child, a boy ( 8). I'm always here to support, encourage mother's who have a child/children. Message me anytime, girl.
I have a 4 year old "only" too. What kind of support are you looking for? I know one thing that helps us is his main two best friends - one from age 1-3 who moved in 2011; the other now from age 3-current, almost 5 - are both only children, too. The moms and I raise(d) them almost as siblings so they would get to know some of the dynamics of sharing, working it out on their own, etc. And both are girls while mine is a boy. But that certainly can't replicate the real dynamics of sharing the parent, home space, daily attention and the age differences that most siblings have.
Always available to chat if needed!
Please post if you find a good one online. I have an only too.
