Hi Stan,

Thank you so much for your very thoughtful note! Perhaps your cousin would have had the same traits, even in a multi-child family! (He'd just be known as the difficult one!) I read a funny article that an only child wrote about his experiences. He said that he never wants any attention, and wants to always fade into the upholstery -- but that is seen as being snobby, because he's an only child! I guess we all face our problems, no matter when we're born into a family!

I appreciate your thoughts on this -- thanks again for sharing them!

Lisa
