Actually, we have eight, ranging from 7 to 25. (I'm an old guy, 53.) Our kids are among the best "socialized" (as if that were the ultimate goal of life!) I've run across. Yes, having a single child would be tough on that child in terms of learning to deal with others and their needs. We educate them at home, or, rather, give them the tools & guidance to educate themselves, which is the only way it's ever going to happen. It's been good that I've been working from home for 18+ years, running a "lifestyle" small software business (5 people distributed around the country).
