NEWS FLASH...
<<< ONLY CHILD... i think i would know from my OWN personal experience.....
i don't need to take a child development class to learn how i turned out....... becuase you're the only child doesn't mean you're deprived of a better chance at early development of some social mechanisms.........
keep in mind.. your FIRST CHILD will be an ONLY CHILD till you wifey ends up poping out another one...... so your first child will have a similar development as a baby/young child as someone that is an ONLY CHILD for their whole life.......
your reasoning to have more then one kid is quite flawed....

nor did I say that *all* only children are inferior. Nor did I say they are always deprived. You know I have all the respect in the world for you, Mark.I said that I'd rather have more than one because from what I've observed and learned, that folks with siblings are exposed to social stimuli that otherwise don't exist.

It's sort of like saying "I'd rather bring in a lefty to face a lefty batter." Obviously at any point a lefty pitcher can give up a monster home run to any lefty. But I'd rather have my lefty face him than my righty, all things being equal.
Haha... If I reacted the same way as you guys, my response could be all like
"So you all are saying Skip is dead wrong, and that he's a terrible decision maker for having more than one kid???? That's a poor/flawed line of thinking."

like.... i dunno.... "i want 5 boys, so i can have a korean basketball team".... or "i want 11 kids, so i can have a football team".... or better yet... "i want a son and a daughter"...
but to base it on some study thats mostly based on opinions that could be correct in some instances and wrong in others is quite lame...
