[quote=Anonymous]I think from a personal growth perspective, having at least one of each is useful in helping to see how, in broad terms, the sexes differ, and it gives the children deeper exposure to those strange opposite-sex children and their peculiar preferences before dating/marriage/kids. But you do lose out on sibling bonding, and on the good aspects of sibling competition. But that's true of any family structure. I have two and two, and there's a long list of things that we're missing out on as well - experience being a bigger family, experience with the more intense parental interaction of a smaller family, experience having one sex be the oldest/dominant sibling and not the other, different age structures, etc. And that doesn't even get into questions of personality. The road not taken...[/quote]
