Michael, it’s not as though your parents deliberately ignored your wishes — or did they? I asked my parents for a little sister two times (I already had a little brother), but did THEY listen? Noooooo! Each time, I ended up with another little brother (although I do remember that before the youngest was born, my mother asked my brothers what THEY wanted. One asked for a teddy bear, and the other asked for a pony)!
