So when I was growing up, I always thought that I only wanted 1 kid because of how much I enjoyed my childhood. I knew growing up that I was an only child and that "only child syndrome" existed and such. I worked hard to avoid being selfish and spoiled and such. I think I did a pretty good job of it. I think I've decided now that I should have more than one kid. Mainly because now I find that there are things that affect me now because I was an only child growing up. Things like needing attention, needing someone who actually listens to me. Listens, doesn't just dismiss everything at "stupid girly shit" or "spaz talk that's dumb". I'm not an idiot, I do have my dumb girl moments, but I'm also an intelligent human being who, like most others, needs someone to talk to and actually bounce ideas off of and be respected. I guess I just need to feel like I'm respected for having ideas, opinions, and the occasional fear and worry. I guess I'm just feeling a little like I'm not respected by the one I care about respecting me. At work people respect what I have to say, even if they don't agree. At uni, people respect me and my work, even if they're doing something much more complicated. At home, I'm just the stupid girl who wants too much attention and tries to order him around. I'm just an idiot. That's all.
