[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weirdest are families with 1. They agonize and obsess over everything precious Larla does. Not all parents. But many.[/quote]

We are having our fourth and are more laid back than people we know with only one. Like the freaks at the park who follow their kid around the whole time. It’s straight up weird. I’m seeing more and more friends have 4 while still having a career and happy marriage and full life. Already the saying was “three is the new two.” Now that that study found that 4 is the ideal number, will it be 4?[/quote]

I came from a family of 4 and all of us grew up starved for attention. I have to say we are weird as grown ups. my beat friend, who was an only child, is normal. She has one kid, who is kind, well.spoken and independent. neither me. nor my siblings have kids and we feel it is due to the chaos of growing up in chaos and being ignored. Not to mention. by considering yourselves laid back, and others as freaks says a whole lot of your bitter, angry personality. 4 may work for some but definitely not in our family with "laid back" hands.off parents. I wish my parents followed me around sometimes and showed some interest.[/quote]

Sorry that this was your experience, sounds like you were neglected. I was one of five and had a radically different childhood. Having 4-5 kids in no way means they will be neglected. [/quote]
