"Perhaps" overly worried?
So I started to read this, and I thought it was going to be a fairly random question about teaching children about proper manners, greed, and materialism. But then the author makes a bizarre move and takes his question into the realm of the insane:
My daughter is 5 years old and has, like most girls her age, a hamper's worth of stuffed animals. While she has her favorites, she constantly wants more and usually connives to get someone (read: her grandparents) into procuring a new one every couple of weeks. The new one immediately becomes her favorite and she must sleep with it every night and haul it around half the day. My question is: Does this behavior indicate she'll be overly promiscuous as an adult, or at least unable to commit to a single partner?
—Perhaps Overly Worried Father
Overly promiscuous? Because she likes stuffed animals? Sounds like somebody's been watching a little too much Love Line.
