[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading the many comments, some truly remarkably nasty I have concluded that *almost* everyone who has strong feelings about the subject has some personal experience they are pulling from that makes them confident this is inherently the way it is.

Several adults of three sibling families had rough experiences growing up and attribute that directly to the number of children their parents had. [b]Therefore, they had less children and believe strongly others should have two as well.[/b]

Some moms of three believe that they are somehow the only people capable of giving parenting advice on a parenting messaging board.

A few seem to be insecure about their own decision or situation and feel the need to justify it to all ends.

And some of you seem just out for a fight.

Either way, not a lot of middle children must be posting because one of them would have formed a peace circle already. [/quote]

I'm one of the bolded and by no means do I think everyone should only have 2.  I think people need to love and treat all their children as individuals, no matter the number.  Not all children need the same things from their parents and many parents don't recognize this!  I think not acknowledging this fact is what leads to problems, including middle child syndrome. 
 Then again, I'm also the one who took parenting classes.  I only stopped at 2 because I didn't trust myself to not fall into the trap of my upbringing and I stated that.[/quote]
