[quote=Anonymous]I am the mom of an only, with a spouse who was an only. I grew up with a sibling who I am very close with and who just gave me a niece. :-) I think my sister is great because no one understands our parents' particular brand of crazy like we do. We understand each other's vents. I would have enjoyed a sibling for my only, but alas, it was not in the cards. My DH is an only and very social. He is incredible at building relationships and maintaining friendships. Much better than I am. We love our little 3 person family, with intentional bonds to extended and chosen family. I will have conversations with my DC as he grows up to encourage him to build the family and support network he needs. I will also make sure there is plenty of money to throw at eldercare for me and DH, and ideally be clear-eyed enough about my own mortality to make some of those plans myself. [/quote]
