Canine – some only children are spoiled. I’ve known of some. But I can honestly say – without sounding like I’m bragging that I really don’t think I was spoiled. I was certainly loved a lot – but not spoiled. In fact I remember my mother telling me that at teachers conferences, some teachers were actually surprised when they found out that I’m an only child. I guess that shows good parenting.
I don’t think my husband is spoiled either. For two only children to get along well in a marriage shows that we do know how to share and compromise. Baruch Hashem.
btw – we have 3 wonderful teenagers. no signs of older, middle, youngest syndromes. i think they’re pretty well adjusted and certaily loved very much.
