[QUOTE="JPKII, post: 16636965, member: 12867"] This was a major factor in our consideration of having a second child. Overpopulation and the direction of the world. Our daughter is 12 now. I'm gonna be 48 (Holy **** time flies!!) this year. In hindsight, I wish we would've had a second child. I'm not gonna live forever and I worry about my daughter "fending" for herself. Poor word choice, but the reality is she potentially won't have family when my wife and I croak. As our parents grow older and their needs change, I can't imagine that burden being put solely on one child. Also when my wife's Mom passed away, almost 5 years ago now, I couldn't image facing that alone, without a sibling to offer comfort. I totally agree with what you've said, but there are nights I stay awake worrying about the reality of my daughter having to endure the death of her parents, potentially, alone. Shitty reality, indeed. If I could travel back 10 years in time, I'd kick myself in the nuts, and say 'have a second kid'. [/QUOTE]
