"Parents used to have a lot of kids, but now kids have a lot of parents." - Making Children Mind by Dr. Keven Leman.
So true! For example I had 2 sets of grandparents, while my children have 4 sets of grandparents. I think it is a bit confusing for the little guys. With our 3 kids, we are overachievers, but a generation ago we would have been underachievers in that department. If we want to spend Christmas with our kids grandparents, it takes us four years to have Christmas with all of the grandparents.
Oh, but our children like getting double the Christmas presents we would have gotten from our Grandparents.
PS. pictures are not really related to topic (they are from Christmas time this year though)

I know what you mean. It gets even more confusing when grandma and grandpa are in the dating scene. There are so many people for the girls to keep track of!
Our kids are definitely feeling like they're in the minority. One dad and one mom who have been married forever, 2 sets of grandparents who have been married forever, aunts & uncles who have been married...forever. :)
crazy sonya. your family must be stuck in the dark ages. Just joking.
