Not that the other advice didn't help but this got me to really THINK instead of being so emotional..I am certainly going to make sure he gets much more involved with friends and stops so many back to back activities.

But your words really helped me. Years ago I made a choice not to try to get pregnant again because I really did only want one child. Besides that the doctor was saying all this upsetting stuff about my reproductive organs...SMH. I wanted us to be able to provide for him a good Jewish home where we could afford to send him to a good Hebrew school (which costs an arm and a frikken leg) and us to attend a very good synagogue (thing about that is being members of a synagogue like ours cost and arm and a leg as well). I just wanted him to have all the advantages that we could set him up with...good neighborhood, good schools, college fund. All things we've been able to provide for him so far thank God.

Sure, it might be nice to have another child but there is just NO WAY my husband and I could afford to do for two children what we do for our son now. So maybe if explain this to him and make sure he's involved with his friends regularly that will help. And now that you've said it..I think our son just might react like your daughter. Cause he doesn't like to share a darn thing and if I'm nice to any other kids (like for instance I help out with his Hebrew class) he gives me and the other kids the side eye. One time he walked up cause some kid kept hugging me..pulled me away and said, "This is my mom..not sure where your mom is..." and had this look on his face:

And thank you to everyone that gave me advice, suggestions, commented. I SERIOUSLY appreciate it!
