In my efforts to accept my circumstances, I've been thinking about the upside to not having another child.
The biggest is having *a lot* more money in our old age. This is an entirely selfish thing, to me, in one way, and completely practical in another... because chances are we'll probably never get too much beyond our current standard of living (if we're saving for retirement). Kids are expensive, even when being extremely resourceful.
The downside is not having that wealth of family in one's old age, and that makes me sad.
