May 31 yearning for sibling? Is a subsequent desire to have children legitimate at all??

"I’m glad you gave birth to a healthy child!"
"You are ungrateful because you are sad because you have no other child. What are they supposed to say who have no child at all! "

Do you know these sentences? Do you know this feeling that nobody understands you. Those who know about someone can still understand that someone wants a first child. And also the sadness that goes with it when the desire to have children is not so easily fulfilled. But then it stops. Anyone who has a child has to be thankful. Anyone who has one child (or several) and wants another one will hardly be understood. Often not even from your own partner … especially not from your friends and acquaintances and family.
