There's actually survey data about this. They ask people, basically, 'How much do differences in parenting style and decisions affect a child's personality/behavior?"

Everyone in the survey thought there was a strong effect except one group: Mothers with two or more kids.

There's probably some bias here where no parent is going to want to admit that they've treated their kids differently (likely unintentionally). Not to say that there isn't useful insight here anyway.
