The Single Child Syndrome

Miles to go , Mithila, in spreading the kindness...

Hope to accomplish it with all the elders' wishes...

Here is a special round of applause to Mithila Kannan and all the IL members who have participated in this thread with feed-back.

This thread has been the first thread in May and April to reach 100 replies, and that too in the shortest time of 6 days. A good post is not defined by the number of views or replies. But, these figures do tell us about the extent of participation by the IL community in a thread. And also points to the rate at which thoughts are exchanged and spread.

Tells us again that IL is always a home to fine thinking and writing.

Thank you Vidya for keeping us informed...

Congrats, Mithila dear!

Dear Vidya,
Thank you for giving the information and many thanks or the wonderful words of appreciation
This was a controversial issue,some saying ,"Yes,parents with single children have to be careful in bringing them up".While others saying,"Why point fingers at a single child,even in families with multiple children a child can get astray".
Any how the discussions were thought provoking,interesting and some young mothers expressed the view that they liked the thread.
I thank all the ILites for their active participation and for their feed backs which were heartening.I thank you Vidya and Kamla for handling the issue and the feed backs with the understanding and humane kindness to every one involved.I appreciate the spirit with which you both approach us and guide us.I feel happy that I belong to this affectionate family of IL with Kamla and Vidya helping us negotiate all the corners with perfect ease.
All the best to all of us here.God bless all of us.
love

Hi,
Nice. Good Thinking. What I thought to be exposed to many families having single child. Very well expressed thoughts. Although I am not so experienced as the writer, I do feel the same problem of single child syndrome in some of the families being analysed. My best wishes for the author to publish the same in Newspaper as an article.

Dear Mk,

Thanq verymuch for the post.I can see my ownlife in some of your examples.I am only kid to my parents where I was never much mingiled with the relatives,I do not know y I want to spend time lonely,watching tv etc..When I got married my dh was single son ,so both my mom and his parents were interferring a lot and at one situation it has come that I was stuburn and thought my dh will realise his mistake.But due to interference of my relatives,parents our relationship has ended up in seperation which I didnot expected in dreams also.

If I would have taken the situation in to my hands and delt it It would have been positive.

The possesiveness and over protectiveness of my parents on me now had made me and my parents to feel sad.My mom has realised now what she has done by interferring and begged me for forgiving what she has done.

So thanq once again for starting such a good thread, how a single child suffers with out siblings..

Hugs,
dg.
