You're right, we always say the world is in a bad state today but when one looks at history, it probably was much worse with all the illnesses and the cruelty. We have it quite cosy nowadays!
You are blessed indeed @clio! We have two sons, the eldest 41 already but although he's in a steady relationship, there's no talk of marriage nor babies! Our 37 year old is still searching for miss perfect, & we know she does not exist;)
We run a little bnb and love it when families come with little ones :)
