[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO, only children tend to be more self absorbed later in life. I have multiple close friends who I love, but who we all describe as "such only children" and the meaning is instantly understood. The only time I've seen only children avoid this is when there is a specific source of hardship in childhood so that they learn it isn't all about them (eg, a parent has an illness). 
Having said this, I don't love the idea of having a second child, but the above keeps me motivated to do so. [/quote]

Your opinion is stupid. It's cute that you ascribe your own personal experiences to the general public. Like you, apparently, I have multiple only child close friends, and none of them are self-absorbed. The most self-absorbed people I know have siblings, in some cases, more than one. I guess -- by your logic that one person's anecdotal evidence = truth -- that means that those of us with siblings (including me) are way more self-absorbed than only children. [/quote]

Hence why I said my opinion. I don't assume it's your opinion or your experience. My point was that my experiences shape my [b]personal[/b] opinions which in turn shape my behavior. Quite logical actually. Your unwarranted aggression is intense though... Good luck with that. [/quote]

And "hence" why I said that your opinion is stupid. Completing the circle of logic here. My "aggression" is entirely warranted because your original comment was moronic and obnoxious. Anyone posting such moronic and obnoxious comments deserves to be aggressively slammed.Your failure to grasp this is funny. I guess it just reaffirms my prior point that folks with siblings "tend to be more self absorbed later in life."[/quote]
