[quote=Anonymous]It's hard to answer without specifics, OP. I'm almost 40, and where I grew up, all the families were kid-centric except for mine. I was an only child with older parents, and we did things their way all the time. Sure, they were very supportive of me and drove me to activities, etc., but everything was always based on what they wanted to do, what would be fun for them, etc. My friends' families were much more focused on going places the kids would enjoy, doing things specifically for kids, etc. I see pros and cons of both -- on the one hand, I am still a little bitter about the fact that I had to play second-fiddle to my parents' whims; on the other, I learned to eat at fancy restaurants and have "grown-up conversations" much earlier than my friends. Obviously, balance is important, and there is a middle ground.[/quote]
