[quote=Anonymous]I've posted before, but thought I would share another insight I had. Both my mom and sister were the Golden Child and because they were treated better, they went through life feeling very entitled. Neither of them learned how to cope to with setbacks. I think one of the reasons I am happier than both of them is I know life can be unfair so as I faced significant adversities (major illness, deaths, one of my children has special needs) and minor setbacks I dealt with it and didn't fall apart and tantrum and expect life to be easy. They both struggle with so much and then the behavior gets more entitled which pushes more people away-the same people who were so drawn to the bragging and over-confidence. They both also will adopt an affected way of speaking during moments of entitlement. I call it the "royal voice." It's funny to see the eye-rolls from strangers and family.[/quote]
