Arrrrgggh, just want to vent really. So fed up with friends and some family attributing everything my 4 year old DD does, be it good or bad, to her being an only child.
For example, she doesn't want to share a particular toy - "Ah, well she is an only child, she's not used to sharing" or when she uses a 'grown-up' word -"Ah, well she is an only child, she'll spend alot more time talking to adults".
We had a day out with friends yesterday and one woman in particular just went on and on about it. Can nothing just be her personality in the eyes of others?
She is a difficult child but surely there are eldest children and youngest children that are hard work too. My sister's DD3 has been by far the most challenging of her girls.
