[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] to jump on the bandwagon, but OP, I do take issue with you implying that "only children" wouldn't know how to share/take turns by saying [quote]She has siblings so she does have to take turns and share, that's not the issue, she's easy about things like that. [/quote]  My only child has always had to take turns and share - probably more than yours because she is around adults a lot more and has to sit there and listen to adults talk and wait for an (according to her) excruciatingly long time. [/quote]

Op did not imply only children don't know how to take turns. You are really reading into this. (I have an only child).

To other posters, I think op is talking about leadership in light of the newest philosophy that we must allow our daughters to be bossy, lest they lose the part of their personalities that would drive them to be CEOs in the future. Op seems to understand that meanness and bossiness will not win any friends. I don't see how op is condoning or excusing the behavior.[/quote]

Thank you for understanding! Yes, the whole CEO/bossy/leader trend is exactly what I'm talking about. And while I want my children  to be successful, l would much rather they be happy and hard working than be top of anything and miserable.

We don't see any other symptoms of OCD. But could she still have it?[/quote]
