[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of one hover and then they hover any minimal grandkids they have too.  And they always fight to have their one and only at every holiday and event in their lives.  And then they hover over you because you are their never-had daughter.  I married an only and it SUCKS!  I came from a family of 4 and it is just so much different.

Apparently you didn't learn critical thinking skills in your family of origin. How unfortunate for you. [/quote]

Not the PP but this makes no sense whatsoever.  Are you saying they should use their critical thinking to tell their in-laws to not be around?  To spend Christmas alone.  I am married to an only child myself and this is a huge issue.  Spoiling my 2 kids so over the top because they are the only grandkids.  Telling me how to raise them, offended if we don't invite them to every little play, musical, soccer game etc...  Not understanding that I have my family and want to see them without them 2 tagging along sometimes.  It is a slippery slope.  If there was just one more sibling with or without another grandkid would give my husband and I some breathing room.  And the part about them aging (someone else mentioned) scares me a lot.  It is a lot to take with no help.  [/quote]

Generalizing from an n of 1 suggests a lack of critical thinking skills. Posting reply to a query posed to those with older only kids when you don't fit that description yourself suggests something else.[/quote]
