Chiponmyshoulder, I think this is a really valid point. We are unschoolers, my son is autistic, and my daughter is sometimes very lonely. They will never have a normal relationship. So, even if you want/ are able to have more than one child , things can be very challenging also. I guess it is simply a case of unsubscribing from a feed that makes you feel sad. You have a right to share those feelings, just as everyone else has a right to share theirs. To say your post “smacks of bitterness” is really, really unkind. Envy? Yes, perhaps. Grief? Yes perhaps. And that is OK.
