Personally, I think it's a bad idea to have a child just to give another child a sibling. First of all, there's never a guarantee that siblings will have a close relationship or that they'll grow up to have similar values. And it's unlikely that your son will be lonely, particularly if he has plenty of opportunities to make friends.

Just about every possible advantage to having one kid or having multiple kids also comes with a potential disadvantage. For example, I'm an only child and occasionally I've thought that it would be nice to have siblings who would be able to help out if my mom ever gets to a point where she can't live independently anymore. But I've also seen too many situations where siblings were divided over the care of parents, or where they fought over inheritance. There's never a guarantee that having siblings will either spare or cause someone trouble in life.

I think people should have kids because they really want them, not out of a misplaced sense of obligation. If you wouldn't otherwise choose to have another baby, then don't.
