@The Pentacle Queen,
That's more than I have now.
I don't miss having kids. Not one bit. I'm sorry if people feel that's selfish or immature or whatever. You live your life, and I get to live mine.That's kinda how it works, eh?
In the meantime, my brother has one child and I don't think they're lamenting the fact that my nephew is the only one. My cousins also had just one kid (who also happens to be a boy). If anyone regretted it that much, they could have adopted, I imagine. Families come in lots of configurations, and singular children are a perfectly legitimate form, as are singular biological children with an adopted sibling or two or twenty.
