To say that youngest siblings (of larger families) are worse than only children

This is lighthearted, and, disclaimer, I'm an only child. Was just struggling to think of any only children I know who actually fit the spoilt, selfish stereotype.
I do, however, know three examples of people who are the youngest of 4 or 5 and are, although v intelligent and charismatic, quite self centred and immature. Interested to know anyone else's experience with these two demographics.

@MitziK brilliant! My uncle was a wild child and used to attempt Evel Kneivel stunts off the garage roof, so definitely fits with this theory. He was also absolutely adorable therefore no need for any new babies.

@MsTSwift my parents are both eldest of 4!

I have a bit of a mixed bag with my older children. They all take turns at being challenging but they’re mainly well behaved.

My youngest is still a baby (13 months) so we have yet to see what she will be like! My older children are all boys and my youngest is a girl.
