[quote=Anonymous]People also say it's selfish to have one child. I am an only with an only. Are there pros and cons to any family structure? Absolutely. Is it selfish? I mean, why? I have a great kid who as a teen seems pretty positioned to be a solid contributor to society. Had we not had the bandwidth and resources to shape him in the ways we did, would this be the case? No idea. I also had the leftover bandwidth (because my family comes first) to have and continue a career where I am able to work with and shape disadvantaged college-aged students and gear them for success. Hundreds at this point, probably dozens significantly. I am not really concerned about my legacy or my child's well-being: so why were a bunch of boomers at Target and Great Aunt's at Thanksgiving concerned about it?[/quote]
