[quote=Anonymous] When I was a very young woman, I dreamt of having four. I an AMA, so at some point I just dreamed of having one, a little girl. When I got married, we planned on three. It was our number. We got one of each before the marriage ended. Now that I'm divorced, I am glad for the two that I have. Honestly, it felt like the family lost two people when the marriage soured, not-so-DH and the last child we meant to have. With all the sibling rivalry we have going on now though, I do remember my third occasionally, and think how two may have ganged up on one or isolated them, depending on the gender. And, when DS cries about his wish for a brother, I admit to feeling a little guilty. Maybe my next marriage with come with a new son. That would be nice. Your sense of family, and its size, changes over the years and circumstance, like buying a new house or funding the college accounts, taking a family vacation, a job loss, etc. My DS picked up a saying at camp and I've followed ever since, "You get what you get and you don't get upset." Easy to say; harder to do.[/quote]
