I'm sorry she's using her frustration in this way. It isn't going to help anything. I am an only child as well but would never blame my parents for that - there are many factors that contributed to it [ Reply | More

I am an only and I disagree. My dh has an older sister who is absolutely NO help (actually a hindrance) with his older, ailing parents. If she wasn't around things would be much easier for us all. [ Reply | More

Lady, You are sick. I think she is being really mature and responsible. Most people fail to consider how they may have limited resources to adequately support more than one child. [ Reply | More
