[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one sibling and we are very close. Even if we weren't though, I feel that there are so many other disadvantages of being an only child. Not only do you not have a sibling, but

1. You don't have anyone in your life who has a shared history with you as a sibling would

2. You don't have anyone to help with the burden of taking care of older parents.

3. You will never be someone's aunt or uncle

4. You will never have nieces or nephews

All of those things are definates. So I am personally going to take a chance and have at least 2 kids. At least there is a decent chance that they will get along and if not, at least they will also have all of the benefits that I listed above. [/quote]

No. I am an Aunt to my husband's sister's children. I love them deeply. Yes, you can be an aunt or uncle and not have siblings.[/quote]

You divorce your husband, will you still be aunt, or replaced by another?[/quote]

Of course I would still be their aunt! I am their aunt! I don't plan on getting divorced, but if I did and my husband married another, I suppose the kids would have an extra aunt, not a replacement. Good lord, you must have terrible family dynamics.[/quote]

Well, that's what you think now and hopefully it would be true. But in reality, you don't know until it happens to you.[/quote]

No, I know for a fact that I AM THEIR AUNT. Get over it.[/quote]

Well, if we're speaking strictly in facts, you are their aunt by marriage. Nothing for me to get over.[/quote]
