It was kind of a shock when that article appeared in Newsweek in 99
Hughes and Michelle Kwan seem to be grounded by their siblings. I am not sure Tara always got her way. Being the only child does not necessarily mean s/he wil always got his/her way. Sometimes when a child is placed above his / her sibs when the parents go all he way to please one child at the expense of the sibs, that is probably more devastating. (Think Andrew Cunanan, who always got his way at the expense of his sibs)But from all the reports she sure sounded like a girl always got her way (like doing 50 3loop/3loop a day, regardless Rich or Pat called it off, she just kept doing) -- Though it does not supprise me, she was the only child in family.
