Friends of my parents had trouble conceiving. When their first child appeared, his room was like a toy shop. When he was three they realised that he had internalised the “norm” that all visiting family members and many friends brought presents for him, and he began to expect these offerings on the altar of his existence. They waited that long to realise it might make him selfish. I shudder to think what he’s like now, in his forties.
Forget the new flesh color they added to CB’s head. In the b/w drawing, he clearly has hair: bangs up front, that middle part in the back of the head, a little ducktail and side edges. CD was never bald, he was a blonde child.
Some of my Dads family would drop off great hand-me-down toys from time to time.My cousins were very lucky kids…Before I could get to play with them, my older sisters would throw them away, as they thought it was demeaning to accept them.The ones I hid, would mysteriously disappear.Watching Antique’s Roadshow can be very painful to me still.

When I had my tonsils out I got a little toy cash register—and all the ice cream I could eat!

Sounds like defensive spoiling.
