I fail to see how your response is in any way a logical reply to my post.

Actually, my response was far more logical than your claim of only children growing up without family is tragic.

First of all Gabs, the article was referring to the point in time when MOST children grow up in single child families. (The quote I placed in italics was from the article.)I do not believe our society is quite there yet.

My comment was in response to the above situation, When it exists en masse. I was not commenting on individual children who are currently in such a situation or were in the past. I am particuarly concerned about when the majority of adults are ONLY children and these generations reach old age and find themselves with no extended families, a deceased spouse and one or no children, a circumstance also discussed briefly, by the author.
