Do parents of singletons have equitable bingoes to childfree

Posted by Dorisan 
No matter what choice you make about anything somebody thinks you are doing it wrong and they need to tell you. People are stupid. I get only child bingos because I am one. My parents were fucked up, but they would have been equally fucked up if they had 10 children. I don't get why people think I would want to have a lot of kids to "make up for what I missed". Trying to live vicariously through one's children never works.

I'm an only, and my parents were bingoed in reverse.

"You're lucky. If something gets broke, you know who broke it."

"You're lucky. You'll never have to break up a fight."

"You're lucky. You only have to buy one set of clothes for school."

If they were actually bingoed, I never heard it and they never talked about it.
I think the article has a point, but like the rest, I think the CF get it a lot worse.

I'm an only. My parents weren't bingoed since they split up, but I got bingoed with pitiful remarks about how "lonely" I must be.

I have no doubts some parents of only's have gotten it pretty bad.

But it just doesn't compare.

They don't get told they're evil. They don't have people wishing harm upon them. The CF do.
