[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm extremely anxious and type A and I knew that if I only had one kid it would put way too much pressure on my "one perfect child." We have three which enables me to more evenly distribute my neuroses among them rather than piling it all on one kid. [/quote] Ha ha! Same for me. None of my kids are neglected in the publicly understood definition of the term - but there is a modicum of benign neglect compared to the absolute smothering they'd received if they were only children. My mother only had me and I was smothered. We also have 4 pets. A full house is important to my sanity so that I don't start obsessing over one living being in particular. [/quote] Yep, plus some people just have a ton of energy and bandwidth for kids and everything else. [/quote]
