BYH said:Chef said:Me and mrs.chef have one boy .....and that's all we're gonna have. (The Good Doctor made sure of that.......My actual Doctor, not the SJ The Good Doctor) He wants it that way, too. All of mine and wife's family are within minutes of each other, so he has (fairly educated guess) around 60 cousins within about 35 miles of us.
Yeah......I have a rather large family...I have one sister, who has 2 girls Brother-in-law has a brother with 3 kids...Dad is one of 4 brothers, (1 passed on) who all have at least 2 kids each, and now the kids have a kid, and one pregnant. Mom has 2 brothers (1 passed on) One had 2 kids, (who have 5 kids now) and the other had 4 kids.
Wife has 2 brothers and a sister, 1 brother has 3 kids, sister has 2 kids.

Given my driving history, I suppose I'm a complete failure.

On my dad's side of the family, The Christmas dinner gets so big, the family rents the local community building for the day.
Between my family, dad's family, his parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins......there are somewhere around 100 people under one roof for Christmas Dinner.
And this is just my side of the family, not the wifes.

Five years younger than me, he was the attractive one, the athletic one, the funny one. He got the attention from my mom, and my dad went to every one of his games. My band concerts? My dad never went to one in four years.
Yet, I've carved out a pretty good career for myself, traveling and making the kind of money I'd only dreamed of when I decided to go into journalism. Never gotten more than a parking ticket. My brother, on the other hand, owes every member of our family money, verbally abuses his girlfriends, spent five consecutive weekends in jail for stealing a book from the university bookstore, keeps getting fired, is nearly 27 and only a junior in college (been going every semester since he was 18) and insults every member of his family.
But guess who gets the attention "because he needs it more?"
So yeah, if you have more than one kid? Try not to be QUITE so obvious about which is your favorite.
