QOTD: oooh, you have a sister?!

question of the day: what is your birth order and do you think it means anything?
link to article

I was first born which to me means if I were in Egypt during Moses times, I would've been killed by the Angel of Death. Other than that, it means nothing to me.

usually yes, but I am the youngest and do not have the typical younger child syndrome

i'm the first of three children. and according to that article...i would hate to be a middle child and i should have gone to yale for my undergrad. i do, however, think i am a good leader and role model for my younger siblings and cousins. but i think all of them will ultimately be more successful than me - the kids in my family are either pre-med or planning on being doctors. so if i want to keep up - i better do something fast..

yah, i am a middle, and i think it does affect you

i believe it is true for a lot of people, but not so much for me. i'm the youngest yet i am the most ambitious, aggressive, and independent one.

I'm the youngest (of two). My older sister got her GED, took a few classes at community college and worked as a copy editor until getting pregnant and is now a stay-at-home mom. So, who's smarter? Her, of course. She gets to stay home while I'm stuck at this place every day.

I'm the youngest of two and I think there is something to this birth order business... I'm definitely creative and manipulative like it says. (you're going to give me yer lunch money right? I need to buy an extra chocolate milk for my blood condition). And my sister, the first born, is Bruce Willis.

Well, me being the 2nd child of 4, but the only male, I earn the most. My older sister, however, does have a successful hair salon and in her position, has attained more. She is one of the top educators for a high end Italian hair product company and has toured the country with her expertise. It hasn’t brought home the bacon, but I do believe she has accomplished more so far. She has a house and a successful family, while I, the bread winner in the family (counting everyone in my immediate family) sit in a one bedroom and am divorced. I guess this writer may be on to something.

Birth order is like astrology. People collect some data, find some similarities, and think that it has merit--It doesn't. I'm the youngest of two, and it only means that I had some cool albums to listen to.

I am an only child and I rule! Yes, I think birth order plays a significant role in a child’s development. I do feel I have a lot of the characteristics described in the article. I always had to come up with my own games and ways to amuse myself because I didn’t have any siblings. Plus think about it, if a family is popping out 3 kids-by the time #3 rolls around the parents are going to be too tired and/or busy to pay as much attention to the last born.

I am the youngest of three. And yes I think it plays a part in how personality is formed. I have an only child and she suffers from what many like to call OCS (Only Child Syndrome).
