[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As adults no but as children yes. That whole 'not having to share' thing/not able to deal with other people in their things and generally better verbally. Having said that, many things interfere with the 'only child' or birth order thing, such as learning disabilities or physical/mental health challenges, distance apart in age, etc. [/quote] I have a friend who is oddly invested in only child dynamics, so I pay attention to this stuff a lot. She thinks onlies are typically selfish and self centered. My only child is way more willing to share and pitch in and help compared to her kids. Her kids argue over every little thing being perfectly fair. They argue with me about picking up toys. I've noticed this with other kids, too. I just don't think it typically works out like the stereotype dictates. [/quote]
