what's with Feanor's kids? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was just thinking about a couple of funny things about Feanor's family.
1)why were all of his kids boys?
2)why did only one son have a kid?
Isn't it weird that all of these princes of the Noldor didn't seem concerned with preserving their family. If Maehdros, Maglor, and some of the others would've had some kids, you'd think that some of them would've hung out in Rivendell, greatly increasing its power and wisdom. I don't know if there is an answer to these two questions, but I'd love to read the theories of my fellow members.
