Out of curiosity, how many siblings do you have?

Alas, I'm on only child.  Part of the "Baby Bust" generation.

My wife's only sister died of cancer.

And now that my parents require as much care as my children, I WISH I had a sister!

I wondered because the boomers are really the last generation of large families. I was a stay-at-home mom with 4 children and now have 5 grandchildren. I get a little tired of GenXers complaints.

It wouldn't matter if you had a bevy of them, if they couldn't, or wouldn't, share your commitment to your parents.
