So I'm 100% sure that we are one and done. Problem is, I have known a few only children (now adults) who are pretty self-centered and entitled. I really don't think it's their fault, though. I think they're just a product of how they were raised, naturally the focus of their parents all the time, given (al)most everything they want/need, etc. (I realize this is a generalization, and that people who have siblings can also turn out this way....)

Parents of one, do you make a conscious effort to not indulge your child, emotionally or materially? I'm really sensitive about this for some reason. I don't want my kid to turn into a spoiled brat!

Only children, do you think your parents did a good job of making sure you didn't think you were the center of everyone's universe?
