[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father, when he discussed numbers of children with my mother, said he wanted either none or two, because his aunt and uncle had had one child. The child died, and it wrecked their lives.[/quote] Wouldn't losing a child wreck your life regardless? I have an only and I think about this. My only is in K and we are just now starting to consider a second. I'm not sure it's a good idea. This is a fun age and I don't want to miss it or make DD feel ignored. The whole reason I want a second is that the first one is amazing, maybe I'd better focus on enjoying the one I've got.[/quote] I think it was that he felt that they seemed to have nothing afterwards. My uncle on the other side had died at about the same age -- late teens. He was one of three. It was obviously a terrible blow, but my grandparents were functional in a way my great-aunt and great-uncle weren't. [/quote]
