I am an only child. My mom waited through the Great Depression and WW2 before she had me, because she didn’t think it was a safe time for someone to be having a child, but then she was almost 40 when I was born. She and I both almost died, but that is another story.
 
I'm the oldest with 4 younger siblings, 2 were brothers born in early 1950s, other 2 were what mama called 'change of life kids, both born in 1966.One in Jan. other in Dec.
 
Another only child here. I've tried to imagine what it would have been like growing up with siblings. In my father's family all the kids got along really well. In my mother's family, not so much---very competitive. And when the parents are near the end of life, I've seen it get ugly. It's a gamble I wouldn't have been willing to take, knowing what I know now.

I was the Rented Child. That was my Dad's joke after all of my Mom's friends thought I was adopted because she never looked pregnant. My birth certificate said I was not, and so did my parents. But I have often wondered about it. But now I have out lived them all, so there's no was of knowing for sure. My Dad always joked about being my Rented Dad.

So naturally, when I met Cindy and she had three young kids and we became a family, I became their Rented Dad.
