[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sure this will not be a popular post---my kids are 13, 11 and 9 and almost every only child I know is smothered and the kids run their parents whining about anything that doesn't go their way. Noticeably unable to handle negative situations compared to other children. Just saying my experience.  I also find huge in families (obviously not mine), the kids seem to be the most mature.

I don't think only kids are usually the most whiny but I 100% agree that kids from large families have the most manners, respect and maturity.  For some reason it seems like families with 2-3 kids are the worst.  Just enough for parents to still do a bunch for them but not enough on their terms and can still fight for time and each other.  I am a parent of 2 kids but had an only for 9 years.  She was and still is very mature, fun, easy going with lots of friends. Always a good straight A kid.  The only negative is she is very dependent on me even in her teens.  My other child that is 5 has much more independence.  [/quote]
