A negative family might be one in which the family members hold 20 year grudges and refuse to speak, like in my mom's extended family.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I was going to say though you can be from a positive family & still have siblings who never talk to ya with no grudges or whatever they just don't communicate.

Pressing toward the mark
Or they just get busy with their own lives once the responsibilities of life set in. With having to work and raise a family, time for yourself gets limited, let alone time for siblings. Often it boils down to Christmas and Easter visits and a phone call every now and then, unless you live down the road from each other. The bottom line is, LLghoney, only you and your husband can make that decision. Maybe in two years time you'll feel differently, maybe not, but if you honestly feel that right now, under the present circumstances, the best decision for you and you family is to have one child, you should not feel guilty. It's OK. If in a couple of years you feel differently, then that's OK. Pray about it. If God gives you peace of mind about your decision, then you have nothing to worry about.

My DD is an only. She always asked for siblings when she was younger but now that she's preteen she seems happy to be an only child. She is outgoing and makes friends easily. She doesn't fit the "selfish only child" stereotype at all. I see many of DD's friends who have siblings and there is always drama and fighting going on. DD has witnessed it in my family as well. She probably came to the conclusion that she's better off being an only.
