[quote=Anonymous]I probably have the ideal of this - my kids have 12 cousins, all within a couple years of their age. Yes, it is fun (and loud and chaotic) and I am thankful for it, but from my perspective, having many siblings (assuming your kids remain close) is a much bigger gift. I grew up with many cousins, but am not particularly close to them now. My siblings, on the others and, are awesome. In 20 years, it's likely you'll be hosting these crazy extended family get-togethers you long for, with the big mass of cousins being your grandchildren (and after 24 hours you'll probably want to escape, like my parents!). I am kind of in the opposite place, where I try to make myself feel better about having a small nuclear family (and thus my kids missing out on everything I loved about growing up in a big family), but I know I'm kind of kidding myself.[/quote]
