You should make sure you are designing your objects for your use case, not to reflect the shape of your database. It is very likely that you are designing your objects to look like your tables, when you should be designing them to match the needs of the UI or use case.

In other words, most Child-Child relationships are the result of data-centric thinking, and are just a flawed object model.
