Thank you for this video. I can relate to so much of it. I have a three year old daughter, and you are right - it does get better, and the experience just gets richer and richer. At the same time, as she gets older, I feel more and more like myself and cherish the full night sleeps, that she can play for 5 min on her own, that she has a strong relationship with her father and isn’t relying on my body for sustenance. I love our family life, as it is. I feel steady and strong and supported. I’m still wavering about having another child, but your video has been so helpful to reflect on and normalise my feelings.

I started suffering with this 3 years ago. It has destroyed relationships and brought me to such low places that, even as a person with some history of depression, didn't know existed. I am just a different person 10-14 days out of the month. Your video was so helpful, even if it's just to say we're in this together. I was diagnosed and prescribed prozac today. Hopefully in the future there will be more options.

Rather than having just one..have NONE... that saves your child from a lifetime of misery, loneliness and missing out on the most important aspect of life: Sibling bond.

@alexirossi being selfish like that is miserable. Others will keep reminding you, if you can't admit to it. Don't think about yourself alone. Your child's future. He will hate you for what you've denied him. I'm an Only child, so I know exactly how it is.

I always thought i would have 2 children but then i had the most horrific pregency, my c-section got badly infected, the hosptial treated me like dirt and i got put on a gestional diabetes diet when i didnt need to be. Postpartum i had horrible depression and i think i went a bit mad seeing things that werent really there, i honsetly thought our flat was haunted at one point 😅😅. Also i never ever wanna go through a newborn stage again 😅😅. Plus i wanna be able to give our daughter all our energy and time. We also dont want to be struggling with money. So yeah we are 100 % one and done. 😅😅

Thank you so much I completely totally agree with you and I so much would love that majority of families in our world would be a family like you! Mother father and only child and you're only child will get really a wonderful development If you parents will keep going stain together this Child will developed your potential much More better than arrest of Kids because she will have enough of attention, advices from you at time love kindness at the same time she will not be Ableton Priest and egoist because except of child in the family also exist marriage and couple relationship end of course in order to have healthy relationship people have to dedicate time to each other to contribute to relationship of each other. So that's why only child incomplete family will never grow up to egoist selfishness and spoiled because exist couple relationship which will also motivate this child have San Francis share with Souls friends because mother and father and the relationship are a great example for this child to be friendly! Good luck to three of you guys! 👪

I wore make-up from age 20-26. Then didn't wear it for years I'm 52 now. My boyfriend passed away in May I have anxiety and depression and he took care of me until he got ill. After he passed away it really knocked my confidence. I needed to feel good again. So I started wearing a little makeup again. Not much just a little concealer for my age spots and some blush and lipstick or lip balm. I still look very natural because I'm not covering my skin in foundation. I know it's not a necessity but it makes me feel better.

@amysill3815, I am the youngest of 5 children. I am NOT close with any of my siblings. They have all screwed me over. Giving your child a sibling is not always the greatest gift you can give your child. The greatest gifts you can give your child are a quality life and relationship with both parents. Also a healthy life and healthy relationships. Have you ever heard the story of Cain and Able ?

I'm the 3rd of 4 kids. (Would be 5/6 but mom had 2 miscarriages before me) Two older sisters and a younger brother by 1 year. Sister #1 is 8.5 years older than me. Sister #2 is 3 years, 7 months older. The oldest, we are not close at all. The second oldest, occasionally. And I absolutely loathe and despise my so called brother. He was physically abusive when we were in our teens til mid 20s when I cut off all contact. Also threatening to kill me twice. There is no benefit whatsoever to having, really any kids, but specifically more than 1. How many adults do you know that are close with their siblings? Or were growing up? My dad is the oldest of 3. He had one sister and one brother. Only ever close to his sister. Mom was the youngest of 6. She had 3 brothers and 2 sisters. She was close to one of her sisters and reasonably close to one brother. My other aunt (mom's oldest sister) and three other uncles, (dad's 1 brother and mom's other 2) I barely knew, if at all. All these arguments for having multiple kids, particularly these days when everything, from birth to medical bills to cost of living, childcare, food and college, pretty much rules out anyone not making 5 or 6 figures, minimum, a year, being able to afford a kid.

I relate a lot. I have a two year old little girl. My sister and I are not close, she’s 6 years older. She has a severe mental illness and my mom is her guardian. Growing up my sister had more needs than me. I felt like the little “big” sister a lot of times. My mom was amazing but she had so much on her plate that I didn’t get everything I needed emotionally. I am super close with my mom though. I just never want my daughter to feel that way. My mental health was awful from the lack of sleep for the first 8-9 months. It took 15 months to start feeling better. I have been thriving ever since. I can never go back to that dark place again…it was very scary. I have gone back and forth but if I am being honest, I know my marriage, daughter, and self would be happier and healthier staying just as we are. I love being able to give my daughter all my attention.

I recently found your channel because of your one and done video and I related. My husband and I are one and done and our baby girl is 3 months old. Newborn stage is SO difficult and there’s so much nobody tells you about it. The mom rage was insane for me when I was brand new at being a mom and I felt so guilty about it. We also tried breastfeeding and only ended up exclusively breastfeeding for 2 weeks before having to pump and then bottle feed and ultimately switched to formula by 1 1/2 months. No one tells new mothers how hard it’s going to be or how we can help ourselves. Your videos have been a light for me and I so appreciate you being so genuine and honest when you post!
