To Polkadot re: only child, lonley child?

IN REPLY TO: only child, lonley child?
AUTHOR: gerber

Polkadot, I read your message to the woman asking about only children and found myself longing for the picture you painted. I have a few questions for you. I also have an only child and she has been so delightful until this last year (15-16 years old). I feel she is very self-centered at this point and is struggling with her identity. She was always the "model" child and she went everywhere with us and always got along well with other children. I, likewise, had her in all sorts of activities and she seemed like a happy child. The only error I think we've done is treat her as if her needs come before ours. I think I've made an error in not having her do regular chores around the house and now she expects me to wait on her and gets angry if I don't do things fast enough or well enough. She is indeed the perfectionist that "only's " can be. I have the added tension that now, since her father and I are divorced, I am usually the bad guy. Have you made your daughter do chores and do you give an allowance? It sounds like you've done everything the right way ......so .... if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. Thanks! You can email me at Violettama@aol.com
