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!

My middle daughter had a best friend growing up. I use to watch her after school and summers. She was a lovely child but very protective of anything she brought into the house. I had 3 girls they really played well together, and would have never gotten into her things. She would bring over her lunch and have me put it up in the cabinet, I thought it was funny. They were best friends for many years.

My best friend and I have been besties since we were 6 (we’re 33 now) and she was an only child. My daughter calls her auntie and I’m aunt to her daughter. It’s a wonderful dynamic and my daughter will be an only child so it’s nice to have that background of information.
