I wasn't an only child, but was basically raised as one. As an adult I hated being around kids. I now have a 14-yr-old daughter. She pushes my buttons big time, but I would never go back and do it differently. I think anyone who cares to can become a good parent. It's selfishness that gets in the way. Having a kid means saying goodbye to #1. If you don't, then everyone suffers.
