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.

Sibling dispute: It drives us insane! – This can be changed

There is hardly a topic that stresses everyday family life more than the constant quarreling between the siblings. No family in which several children live, where quarrels and disputes do not occur daily, if not several times a day. If the siblings are also of a similar age, it almost seems as if there is nothing else than children fighting.

I am a mother of three children. A pair of twins and a son and a year and a half younger. I am also the youngest of three children. Arguments between siblings have been with me for a lifetime. And my children now give me the chance every day to transform my own childhood experiences.
