[quote=Anonymous]I did. 1 of 4. I love all my siblings, but I don't want to have that many myself. My parents were so busy parenting that they kind of lost themselves and then had a very hard time when we all grew up. It took a few years and some fights for them to learn how to be the parents of adult children since they had played the role of parents of young children for so long. We did work it out and have a very functional, happy family now (as we did when I was little) but the transition was rough. Also, now that we are all adults there are so many family commitments that it makes scheduling stressful. Imagine a family with six birthdays every year and four+ graduations, weddings, births, baptisms, etc. It can be an unrelenting pace of family gatherings which means that we hardly ever get together for informal gatherings or just to catch up.
