[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread contains a whole lot of nastiness and judgment. 
I know it's DCUM , but I'm shocked.

I am one of six.

Five of us were spaced between 18 months and 2 years apart.

We are exceptionally close and most people who know our family are exceptionally jealous of the relationships we have together, particularly the people who are only children or one of two siblings.

The women on this thread bring shrewishness to a new level.[/quote]

You're so full of it LOL[/quote]

Nope.

Have been told many, many times how jealous people are of our closeness.

Things like "You are so lucky! My sister and I never talk" or "When we were kids I used to pretend I was part of your family and that I had lots of sisters and brothers"

Happens all the time.

Especially got this type of response when one of our parents was going through a major health crisis. Folks, especially those from small families were all commenting on how we worked together and shared the load with and for each other and our parent.

My husband comes from a family of two kids. He has nothing against his sibling, they get along and like each other well enough.  Most years, they talk to one another mayne 2-3x per year. They are cordial, polite and kind to one another, but they are distant. I talk to at least one of my siblings daily. We have a close, active relationship.  People like my husband who can't have that closeness with one sibling are often jealous that we have it with six siblings scattered around the country.

I am sorry your heart is so closed and your mind is so small that you can only wrap your brain around understanding what is exactly what you would pick for your life.  There are wonderful things about all sorts of families, including the big ones (and four kids is not all that big...it falls into the medium category)[/quote]
