Thanks sclatter.
You just made my point again. If you only have one child you get to hear about it from people who had sibblings and want to paint those of us without them with a wide brush.
One time, I dated a guy with sibblings and, guess what? He was scarred.
My mom had sibblings and was scarred by that. She and her sibblings all hate each other and are mean to each other.
I have friends with sibblings and they have "multiple child issues".
Honestly. I don't really think that having sibblings is a bad thing, I'm just trying to illustrate what a strange prejudice that is to hold. You turn the argument around and its ridiculous. Its a whole other, "mommy war".
We're all scarred by one thing or another. Its just such a bizzare rational that only children have more issues than those with sibblings. What has "scarred" me most about having and only child and being one, is the bias against us. This stuff makes me f&$king crazy. There isn't just one right answer here. One choice isn't right and the other is wrong. Being a working mom isn't the one right answer and being a stay at home one isn't the one right answer. Really people. Everyone gets to decide for themselves thank goodness and each choice will have good and bad sides.
