[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd do anything for my brother- if he needed a place to stay, money, whatever, I'd do it. Would I take a bullet for him? No. When our parents died, our respective friends were more of our support than each other. We grieve differently. Our relationships with each parent was different. To have a sibling bc of this or bc of that is selfish and fantasy speak. If it works out that way, great, but you should never, ever bring another human to this world because of what you THINK will happen. I had a second kid because my husband and I love the experience of parenthood and find it rewarding.[/quote] I agree with this and just wanted to add that I’ve seen more than one set of siblings torn apart by a parent’s illness/aging. We stopped at one because that’s what we really wanted. If our first kid had been an easier baby maybe we would have thought harder about a second but one would probably still be the right answer for us. [/quote]
