Do the parents of "midgets" feel cheated because they dont get to see there kids grow up?

Growing up doesn't necessarily mean growing up as in height.  To me it's more about maturing.

I believe tat some children are geared by their parents to just be acheavers and that's there reality. I believe its the attitude of you have to be the best. Therefore, you must do all you can to be. Even if that means not getting envolved in stuff that would supposely hinder there progress\nand success.

I think that it is a combination of both things. Some people just are attention freaks and have to have attention (this is probably because they didn't get enough attention from their parents as small kids). Other people might seriously have some disability or whatnot.\n\nWhatever it is, though, it's pretty annoying to be around these kind of people.

simply because,,, their  main concern is themselves, they are selfish little insecure boys! they have an ego the size of an abyss that is more important than any ones feelings especially a lowly woman , no matter how well u take care of yourself ,sexy, beautiful (inside and out), you can even give birth to their children!!! their insatiable need to feed their egos because of  a low self- esteem, lack of respect and honesty

It's usually a mixture of both excitement for themselves and terror for their children. Many parents go through what is called "empty nest syndrome", which is uneasiness now that there are no diapers to change or soccer games to remember to attend. Depending on how troublesome the kids were to their parents, or how close their relationship...parents feel depression, worry, but relief that 18 years of raising kids is over with. Why don't you ask your parents if you don't believe me.

Yep.\n\nPoor lost fools. I really feel sorry for them as they wander through life letting their prejudices control their mind.

Yes, because they actually want to have a child, and will raise them with love and support. Unlike people who become parents everyday who don't want children or who don't have the skills to raise them right.

they seek the attention that the never got as a child. second borns always feel threatened by the first born. so go out of their way to prove a point!

Sometimes it's forced on by parents. All of my friends are 16-17 and, depending on how they're parents treat them, they act either younger or older. For example, I have a friend whose mother died when she was little and this girl knows how to take care of herself since she's been taking care of her dad for a few years. Another friend, though, is a little spoiled brat because she asks for everything and gets it plus more. Or it could be the bad media that shows the blondes in the tight skirts that little kids are exposed to and that's how they think they should act. Well, probably a little bit of both factors and more.

Well it is to make the children feel equal and not have any qualms about their parents richness or poorness.  This makes the children feel that they are all in the same level playing field and also inculcates disipline.......

I wouldn't feel that way ... I'm 26 with no kids .... so I have spent my youth doing what I want ... if adn when I do have kids ... I think I'm prepared to concentrate on them and their mommy

I think people expect them to be better than the average child but they need to realize they are still kids.

Everday there are ppl that stare at me because i am only 3'4" i understand looking because you see someone that is actually very short but when someone stares and points no way. Usually i'm nice because i think yeah god is watching then there  are time im like okay god close your eyes and ears... Because it gets rather annoying when your out with your kids and someone that is in their thirties and fourties that should have some respect dont or parents who yank their kids away when they see me as though i'm a monster. Hell  all that is wrong is that im short my boyfriend eww gives lots of angry looks at ppl who stare.

That's an interesting question . . . I think it's becuase of the enormous investment in money, energy, time, emotion, etc.  Parents don't want to see their kid "screw up" becuase they want to see their "investment" payoff. By that I mean they want to see their kid become happy, educated, successful, etc. That doesn't mean that parents know what their doing, but it does mean that right or wrong, they typically do try.\n\nBut there's another theory that claims that we're just animals that instictively take care of children because we want to pass on our genes to the next generation.

No, it's not entirely the parent's fault. Assuming that they raised their kids, the right way, there isn't much more that they can do.\n\nKids, expecially teens, can be very deceptive and hateful. I've seen kids that were raised in wonderful, loving homes decide to throw their lives away for no good reason. Every child is different. There's only so much a parent can do, especially if their child is determined to lie to them.
