“...demanding, dependent and needy...”

You can add to that: Greedy, ungrateful, shallow, superficial, selfish and WHOLLY uninformed!

I work with college students and am daily stunned at how very little they comprehend about just getting around in this world.

“In my experience, there is nobody less equipped — emotionally, in particular — to live in an adult world than a recent college graduate who grew up in an affluent suburb.”

I see that in our family, too. The eldest children are doing just fine - we have a Cardiac Nurse (married, child, homeowner, taxpayer) a Pharmacist (married, children, homeowner, taxpayer) and an LPN (married, children, also farms, taxpayer) but all of the younger siblings in each of these families?

Losers. Maybe it’s just that Family Dynamic of being the First Born?

Doesn’t seem to work in families with an ‘Only’ though, does it? ;)
