[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]?? If you have lots of cousins, then your kid can met up with their kids?? [/quote]

+1. You sound ridiculous, OP. Or are you saying that no cousins on either side have kids?[/quote]

Wow, why so rude?

My cousins are dispersed internationally so we won't be seeing them very often. The main cousin that my husband is closer to (but not especially close) lives across the county, the others he is not very close with (and also do not live nearby).

When I see pictures of other people's family gatherings with lots of kids, it makes me sad my child can't have that. Sorry if my feelings seem "ridiculous" to you.[/quote]

I would suggest focusing on what you have and what you can control rather than what you don't have. It's easy to look at other people and feel envious, but comparison is the thief of joy. Be content with your life.

Your child may not have some things that other kids do. And other kids may not have some of the things that your kid has. That's just how life is. [/quote]
