I think so far I have only met one gal who said :\" how come she has no kor kor, jie jie, di di or mei mei?\" Thank God the mother was quick and said :\" It doesn't matter! She has a good friend like you!\"

We also met 1 kid who said that. Tks for the cheerful retort! Both sides will feel happier after hearing it.

I think mine's the youngest, judging from what I have read .... he's 2 and a half


So I'll be probably be turning to you gals for tips on how to raise a 'wholistic' only child along the way

Not sure how old is Bronzy's child.

U are a guy right? Am surprised u feel this way. My husband can't care less................doesn't know whwat the fuss is about and he also thinks that its okay to have just one as he finds the cost of raising a child very high.

Hi, all


May I join this thread too? I'm also a mother of 1 child - my DS is in P3 this year.

I only had 1 child by choice - was in my mid-thirties when I had him, + a horde of other reasons which have been mention in the earlier threads as to why I didn't proceed to have number 2...

Would like to join in the support group too, if I may

Have found that children with many siblings or who are with a group of friends can be rather insensitive to the loneliness of the only child. Understandably so, I guess.

really ? Like how? I think so far I have only met one gal who said :\" how come she has no kor kor, jie jie, di di or mei mei?\" Thank God the mother was quick and said :\" It doesn't matter! She has a good friend like you!\"[/quote]

I meant that they ignore the wistful looks and desire to join in. Suppose that they don't actualy ignore but just don't notice. Very unlike when you meet another only child and the kids hook up pretty quickly - probably because both are on the lookout for company. I find it rather sad to watch.
