No, he was always considered the "cute little funny one". At first he was really cute and funny, I have great memories about our early childhood. But then our mother divorced our stepfather to marry with the next stepfather who was this successful businessman making good money and that's where the shit started... my mother suddenly had enough money to spoil the youngest kid. She bought him anything he wished for, and he never had to help in the household. The worst thing he did was taking our mother's car after she died, sell it, keep the money and not pay his share of the expenses of my mother's funeral. In fact he made money of my mother's death by acting that way.
The older ones including me grew up in poverty and we were sent out to work so that we could help paying for food and we weren't allowed to leave the kitchen after dinner before we had done the dishes, all things like that. It wasn't a very hard childhood, it was disciplined and I think that was good.
Every time I meet a new person and that person is very egocentric, self-endulged, oversensitive, bad mannered and lazy, I think the person is an only child and was spoiled as a kid. Then I start to ask him questions to get my confirmation and often my assumtions turn out to be correct
