[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have lots of friends with 1 or 2 kids and think everyone has their own reasons, but this thread is eye opening at how anti-natal and narcissistic parents of one child are. Not sure why most of y’all even had one kid if you think so little about them, and so much about yourselves. [/quote]

I thought the problem with parents of one kid is that they give them too much attention and spoil them? Y'all need to get your stories straight.[/quote]

You can never give a child too much attention.  [/quote]

I don't know, I think I have to disagree.  This is anecdotal but I know an only child who given alllll the attention and now (we're in our mid forties) she is one of the most selfish, self-centered people I know.  Her mom moved her entire life to be near her - now lives 2 blocks away - and waits on the daughter hand and foot.  The daughter married a guy who does whatever she says and even her kids know she's #1.  It's very hard for her to make friends, but I don't think she cares - she genuinely feels that she's better than everyone else because she was always the center of attention.

So yeah, I think you can give a child too much attention...[/quote]
