[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know several families that are one and done.  In fact, there was a little clique of them in DD's preschool.  They didn't invite her or another friend who has a younger sibling on afternoon outings -- the moms would be like "oh, we figured you couldn't come because your toddlers were napping!".  [/quote]

Sort of ridiculous they'd never ask you. I don't get offended when people decline a playdate because of a baby's nap schedule, and I'm happy to host a drop-off playdate or two to give you a break.

Do you know many adult only children? Every single one I know is nuts; to them the world revolves around them.  It’s truly a marvel. It’s clear that comes from cooky parents like these... [/quote]

Obviously this is ridiculous. You pay attention to the ones you deem nuts, but I bet that there are many only children out there that you assume have siblings because you have no reason not to. Almost every time an acquaintance finds out I’m an only child, they say something about how they never would have guessed. The “spoiled only child” trope is silly. [/quote]
