0 Fran, I couldn't have said it better myself. Really now........
I just do not understand such a "premise". Poverty is a socioeconomic negativity. It is even socioeconomic hell. Poverty means socioeconomic lack, struggle, and want. Poor and impoverished people are living on the socioeconomic edge. They are in want and struggling from day to day to break even. Poverty is not noble at all. Oh boy INDEED.........
Statements that are illogical and based upon stereotypical hyperbole REALLY SETS me off.

The utter marginalization of childfree and 1-child families, indicating that such families aren't "true,authentic" families.
Saying that only children are spoiled and selfish. Totally bullhockey, there are those w/siblings who are spoiled and selfish beyond belief. Only children are some of the most generous, open, and giving people around. Also saying that only children are dependent and maladjusted. Uttering such makes me go into a Hunnic rage that would make Attila turn ashen!!!
Children from large/very large families are on the average socioeconomically impoverished or very near to it. There is very little money in large/very large families for even the necessities. Children in large/very large families oftentimes have to do without, even the necessities. They also have poor nutrition because nutritious foods and proteins are out of their budgetary reach. They have poor medical and health care. If it weren't for schools, such children WOULDN'T receive nutritious meals nor quality medical care. They wear clothing that are cast off through charitable and other donations. I have donated countless clothes as a child and teen to a branch of cousins who were from large families. Oh yes, most of large/very large families receive some type of aid and/or assistance through affluent relatives, religious organizations, charities, and the government.
Children from large/very large families raise themselves and each other. I have heard my classmates who are from large/very large families stated this many times. They also have to work from childhood to supplement family income. They also had poor parent-child relationships because parents are unavailable. I have seen and studied large/very large families and I won't wish such on the devil. Children from large/very large families lead hard, tough, tenuous lives of struggle. They are also parentified children, raising and parenting siblings thus missing out on their formative childhood and adolescent years. Yes, I am totally against large/very large families because of its detrimental effects on the children. I staunchly believe that people should have from 1-4 children so children can have great parent-child interaction and all the opportunities possible.
I have read and studied extensively the large/very large family system. My parents came from very large families and they related to me what difficult times they had. My aunt cried bitterly of how hard her life was, being the mother to younger siblings while she was still a child. Such families are perilous to children emotionally, mentally, psychologically, and socioeconomically. Children in small families are seldom neglected; however, it IS the children in large/very large families who ARE neglected on a consistent basis.
I have seen firsthand what large/very large families DO to children and it ISN'T pretty at all. To reiterate, large/very large families were fine for more agrarian times but NOT in this postmodern, computerized world. There are myriad social network and connections for children and people to connect to and interact with. Besides based upon mathematical, inductive, and deductive logic, no parent can effectively raise a large/very large number of children by themselves. The oldest/older children are oftentimes assigned, even forced to parent the younger siblings which isn't fair for them as they are themselves children entitled to a childhood.
P.S. Sherry, all of us have subjects and areas that we are OBSESSED with. For some it can be religion, politics, LBGT issues, and even plant life. For me, it is providing a comfortable quality of life for children so they do not have to endure the emotional, mental, psychological, economic, and/or even psychic perils of poverty. I also believe that each child should receive individualized parental attention and be cast aside, discarded, or otherwise waysided. That is why I believe in small(1-2 children per family) and medium-sized families(3-4 children per family). Even though I am childfree, I consider all children my children in one way or another. I do not want any child to suffer or do without, especially when parents know better! It was nice discussing this with you, Sherry. Have a Beautiful Blessed Night!Oh, good Lord! I don't know whether to write a Hub, write a post here, or what! I don't even know if you people are just trying to get people going or what....
I don't know what all the blanket generalizations are about. It depends on the individuals involved, spacing, and any number of other things. I think only children are only at a disadvantage with regard to their taking the brunt (good or bad) or whatever their parents are toward them. Also, no matter who tries to spin even the best situation otherwise, only children and first-born children (at least when there's good spacing) often don't have a broader "perspective" on what parents do/say. With four/five years between me and my siblings I got to see how my parents were (particularly with my sister) and judge them on it.
Keep in mind that parents often tell older kids who get baby brothers/sisters how lucky they are not to be "the baby" because bigger kids get to do things babies and little kids don't. First borns can place a lot of importance on being older/bigger. I think the youngest child often only app0ears to "have it better" . Maybe they have more stuff because maybe parents have more money by the time they're born. Maybe they feel freer to ask for stuff because they know if they don't speak up for themselves none of the older siblings is likely to. Or else, I think a lot of youngest kids can be kind of angry at having "everyone" think of them as "the little one".
I do think that only's and first-borns are often "bestowed" with an automatic sense of "wonderfulness" (that can go along with their being happy enough to try to please parents). That, though, can sometimes make a person just kind of see himself as "all wonderful" without ever judging himself m ore objectively, and by "outside-world standards".
It just depends on the individuals and individual circumstances. My mother (a younger of two older sisters and a twin brother) used to say she didn't want "older kids watching younger ones" because she said, "I don'[t like what older kids do when it comes to younger ones".
I'm a middle kid. My parents told me how "wonderful" I was, but I didn't believe them because I had the benefit of sizing them up within the context of the siblings. Then, too, they were really good at explaining their "issues" as parents, so they had a certain amount of credibility (just not automatic, blind, faith that I was as "wonderful" as they said I was). My siblings and I each had our own "outside life" that was our own. I suppose if parents don't do a good enough job of helping kids understand the dynamics of the individual family then kids are left to come up with their own misguided conclusions about what's better when it comes to siblings and birth order.
2-year-old thread? Let's chat; long, meandering conversation if you wish.

Yep I agree... I hated it when guys wore those thongs as well...
