DD, 3 is an only and we won't have any more. Due to health issues not choice.
She'll have no aunts or uncles, no cousins. DHs and my parents are in their 70s and 80s. My cousin is 60 and her children are in there 20s.
We did nct and yes she sees 2 boys from that every month or something. I'll do everything in my power to encourage her friendships.... But I just feel like she will miss out on having a wider family and not feel placed in the world. It's not natural for humans is it to be so isolated.
Yes I know lots of families are not close, but she won't ever get the chance at it. Makes me feel sad.
AIBU to think this is another miserable part of modern life and something more and more people will face due to the rapidly declining birth rate?
