There is a lot of truth to what you said. I have one son only child and he is a lot like the only child you mentioned althought he was around all of he's cousins when he was growing up so he had to share. Grandmother kept him while I worked. He seems to be a loner now.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924888528166831610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-859446843960863512008-05-12T15:08:00.000-07:002008-05-12T15:08:00.000-07:00I am the youngest in the family... and I totally a...I am the youngest in the family... and I totally agree with the description!<BR/><BR/>Can't wait for your new book!Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127290110025040083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-90239951221942709292008-05-12T14:24:00.000-07:002008-05-12T14:24:00.000-07:00Hi, Kate,I'm the eldest of nine and, yes, I resemb...Hi, Kate,<BR/><BR/>I'm the eldest of nine and, yes, <BR/>I resemble that description!
