Raising an only child - by choice?

Hey all - I'm a parent of a single 18 month old boy. We love our son and he's at an amazing, fun age, but there's no denying how exhausting and taxing raising even one child is, let alone multiple.The topic of whether we want to stop at one or try for another seems to be coming up more and more as he gets older. And I have to be honest, neither of us are all that enthusiastic about the idea.Can anyone here who was raised as an only child or is raising an only child themselves talk a bit about the experience? If you are a parent of an only child, are you happy with the decision or do you regret it? I don't want us to make this decision purely for our own self-interest, but at the same time I feel like happier parents make for better parents. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2jBhmXe
