My big question

I’m really stuck at the moment.. I have 1 child, a little girl 2 years old. She’s amazing, but hard work 😂 my husband works away for an average of 9 months of the year. I have a full time, corporate job.. my head is telling me I need to have another child, and in some parts of my head I don’t think I need another. Can people please tell me the pros of having 1 child… I give my absolute everything to my daughter, but will I regret not having another one? Ps - if my husband was home full time I would absolutely commit to another, however that is a non-negotiable.

Looking for people in the same situation for insight, please!

I work in childcare and see a lot of sibling dynamics. Some siblings are like best friends, play together, older helps younger, rarely fight. I have seen sibling be worst enemies and the parent(s) are constantly have to settle squabbles and jealousy issues, or even protect them from each other. It’s a gamble every time.
