Can spoiled children eventually make something of themselves?

Or are they basket cases for the rest of their life?

• Yes if you wake up and join the real world and function like a human being.

• Spoiled rich kids run the world.

• I didn't like Ledger in his role as "Joker".

• What R2 said.

• What exactly does "spoiled" mean? Is one of the definitions lack of discipline (being spanked as one of the methods of discipline)?

• I guess I was spoiled. We weren't very rich but I was an only child and the absolute center of my parents life. The fact that I was the smartest, most handsome and desreving was contantly reinforced. I don;t think I turned out so bad. After public school education I got into a good East coast college (Williams)and have had (so far)a successful and interesting career in publishing. My parents still treat me (I'm 45) like I was a Prince.

• Watch Captains Courageous. Maybe you could get a job on a fishing boat.

• I'm with R11.

• R9, do you have a good self esteem? Partnered? Only children are stereotypically difficult partners. Set in there ways and all. Just curious. I haven't known many only children.

• I'm not R9, but my partner and I are both only children. I think we relate to each other in a way that people who have sibs wouldn't. We had very different upbringings, though. I would say that I (growing up in middle-class America) was spoiled and he (growing up in post-War England) was not.
