Only Children - Spoiled?

kristypants @kristypants (305) • Canada 19 Dec 06

I got in a fight with my mother-in-law earlier. She was telling me that I'd better have another soon so that my daughter doesn't grow up an only child. She says that only children turn out spoiled, self centered, bratty, and...

pillowgirl I have seen people spoil their whole family of 6. It's not about being an only child, but about how you raise them. I have one child, she is my only and always will be. I am able to give her more than if I had more kids, but that's by choice.

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7029) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 19 Dec 06

pillowgirl I think this would be different for every child and every parent. Personally, I have a 2 year old girl. My husband is a big fan of WWE, but when she gets old enough to understand what it is to hurt other people, she may not be mature enough to watch it. I...

pillowgirl Perhaps you should use this opportunity to be the coleader with some conditions, for example, you have between now and February to prepare, right? Tell the leader that you are happy to help, even eager, but would like some of the training that will help you...

Does any Stay-at Home Mom's ever get tired of their kids?!

trenea7 @trenea7 (86) • United States 13 Dec 06

I sometimes wish I could go back to work. I want to use my brain. I just want to use a pencil and have adult conversation. Sometimes I get so tired of cleaning, doing laundry, coloring and playing make believe (I always get...

BellasmamaTiff @BellasmamaTiff (2544) • United States 17 Nov 06

venshida @venshida (4836) • United States 10 Dec 06

pillowgirl ADD is a plague to many in my family. I don't believe it is made up, because I have seen its effects first-hand and in my brother, mother, and others in my family. I believe that many teachers and doctors use ADD as a blanket diagnosis when they can't...

Reincarnation

Argonaut @Argonaut (260) • United States 10 Dec 06

Do you believe in it? Do we go straight to heaven or hell, or do we keep coming back for another chance? Do we come back only as humans, or do we come back also as animals?

pillowgirl Does this help you to live your life to its fullest, since you only get one go at it? What do you base your decisions of right or wrong on? If there is no heaven or hell, there is no reward or consequence, so why not do random acts of chaos? Murder a total...

pillowgirl I would tell her something like this, "I like you, but I don't like that you aren't there for me when I need you. It seems like you only call me when you need something, not just to be my friend." Don't make it about her as a person, but about her behaviors....

pillowgirl In my relationships, monogamy has always been a key part of trust. I think they go together... but I know there are plenty of people who feel otherwise. I also know I couldn't stand to be part of some guy's "harem" :)
