[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find that of all the parents I know, the parents of onlies are the most dissatisfied with parenting, which I always assumed was because one (or both) parents didn’t really want kids.[/quote] yes, I have found that parents of only children have the hardest time with parenting as well. I think it's because they often have to be their child's sole entertainment, conversationalist, etc. I rely SO heavily on my kids to entertain (or even just talk to) each other. Also, i think parents of lots of kids are just beaten down and don't expect to have any "me time". I know I've long since given up. I figure I'll next have hobbies or time to nap when I"m 65. It stinks but it's all I know and I mostly don't notice it. I think when you have one kid, you get just enough "me time" that when you have the kid around, he/she seems like more of a noticeable burden. [/quote]
