it is really ironic , i think they though that a brother or a sister would only complicate more the history
Negative ghost rider.
It is ironic because both Romeo and Juliet are the only children of two families that have been in an ancient feud with each other. Throughout the play, you can see multiple instances of the older generations' lack of enthusiasm over said feud while it is the younger generation that continues to propel the fight. In the prologue of the play the chorus states that their deaths will end this war between the families. While yes, the two families agree not to fight anymore after the deaths of their children which serves as an end to this war, the deaths of their children also completely severe their direct bloodline. Even if the Montagues and the Capulets had not decided to reconcile, there would be no direct bloodlines to carry on their fight anyway.

Why is it ironic that romeo compares Juliet to a snowy dove trooping with crows when he first sees her at the party?
It is ironic because Romeo is commenting on Juliet's beauty by comparing her to a dove surrounded by crows, suggesting that she stands out among the other guests. However, Juliet is actually surrounded by her family and friends, who are the Capulets, making them metaphorical "crows" as they are enemies of Romeo's family, the Montagues.
