I think you horribly misread my post. Do you think I am saying I don't love my children? I love them absolutely. The last word in the universe that applies to them is "neglected". They want for nothing.

Indeed, it's precisely that I care so much that having children wasn't some carefree social media event for me. It was an enormous commitment. The biggest commitment a human can make, in my judgment, and I was all in.

And as another poster already said, one of the greatest gifts a child can have is siblings. This isn't always true and of course there are many counterpoints, but siblings are usually the closest friends and allies in a hostile world.
