People say that if you have more than one child, the youngest one is more likely to be spoiled. Do you think there's any truth to it?

I think that it would really depend on the parents/guardian and the people who take care of the baby. I think that a baby can't possibly be a brat if no one would spoil him. Like in the case of my husband's nephew, this kid is total spoiled brat. The way I see it, it is because everybody in their house are tolerating how the baby behaves. They don't really mind correcting those negative behaviors, and sometimes, they in fact find it cute They always say he is just a kid but I believe that we should teach our children self discipline and proper conduct while they are still young.

I think it is okay to spoil a kid up to a certain point, but when he begins to cause inconvenience and embarrassment, the fun is over and serious discipline has to begin. They need to be taught before age 5 because psychologists say 80% of personality is formed before age 5. After that it will be harder.

For some family, it appears that the statement is true. But the parents never showed resentment about it, instead they continued to give lessons and nurtured them to be a better person. Good day!
