[quote=Anonymous]I’m from a large family, my mother is from a large family, and there are lots of large families related to ours. It’s just a simple fact that the youngest and oldest kids in a large family will have different experiences and relationships with grandparents. My oldest siblings knew my mother’s parents, and I did not. My mother was born when her mother was over 40, and I was born when my mother was around 40. Although I wish I had known my grandparents, I certainly don’t wish that childbearing was limited to very young women, or that I hadn’t been born because I would never know my grandparents. That’s a bonus in life, but my childhood was better in many ways than those of my oldest siblings, who were born when my parents were young, less mature, and had money struggles. That tainted their childhoods to a fairly significant degree, but I didn’t experience that at all. I wouldn’t trade with them, grandparents or no.[/quote]
