One of my biggest concerns with having more than one child was setting my children up to have a good working relationship. I think it is really important to foster that between them, and help them learn to work together now so that they can be there for each other as adults.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752691861528240686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-87982218710177327162013-08-13T21:35:00.957+01:002013-08-13T21:35:00.957+01:00My brothers and I are currently in the drifted apa...My brothers and I are currently in the drifted apart stage of life and I hate it.

I hope my kids will have each other to lean on in the future.

The wishes for siblings to share burdens (from only children), the wishes that siblings would all share equally in burdens, the thankfulness that siblings are not alone. I have 3 siblings, and while we have not had perfect relationships, I am thankful they are in my life. I hope that my kids will also be grateful for each other :)Dionna @ Code Name: Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463687059904219224noreply@blogger.com
