[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, what can you do? You can’t force another person to have a child they don’t want; it’s not fair to either of them. So I just live with it. Use the money you would have spent on another kid to get yourself set up to be cared for if you need it - that is actually a pretty selfish reason to want another kid anyway and there’s no way to know the child would grow into someone who would help out anyway.[/quote] It’s not selfish -it’s practical. She’s assessing that a small nuclear family will assuredly increased the burden on DD down the road. Another child wouldn’t necessarily ease that burden, but there is a chance the sibling would be in the trenches with DD. We’ve become so programmed to think that hiring out is the solution to everything. We forget that family used to be your support network.[/quote]
