Hi
im a parent of an only child. I felt guilty for years for only having one child, and not providing him with a playmate. I felt selfish for years because i felt this, i tried to make up for it by spoiling my son. Anything he would ask for i more or less gave into one way or another, by this i mean like toys, lollies, clothes reasonable items, but i just found it harder to say no because i thought that it would help him to have these things that he could use in the absence of having a sibling.
