And what about this plea?
**Several years ago, I heard a radio report to the effect that the most requested gift from children to in-store Santa Clauses was for little brothers or sisters. For them, it's the best gift they can imagine. Some moms and dads have forgotten this or been scared away from the blessing.**
Definitely. My two granddaughters love their baby brother. He has filled the whole family with laughter. For instance, when he thinks he isn't getting enough attention, he turns off the TV set. They yell at him and laugh too, and he loves it. He is one plus now. And they parents are constantly talking about how much fun he is. I don't think we get the parent stuff down very well until the third. Then we relax and have more fun.
Let us not forget how selfishing and self-centeredness grows with tiny families. It's all about the money.
