GTKY: Birth Order

PinkDahLia44

I voted baby, but my brother is 5 years older than I am and when there's that large a gap, both children tend to have "older child" qualities. So I'm the baby of the family but do not carry those particular traits, good or bad.

I'm the first born. Oldest of 6 kids. The youngest 4 are adopted (multiracial family). I've been a leader and bossing people around from day 1. I was the GM of a restaurant and now I teach high school. I'm also very protective.

I'm the eldest of 4 and the only girl. I don't feel like I ever needed an older brother to take care of me, personally I think that's kind of ridiculous. I also never felt like I had to care for my brothers because I was the eldest. We're all pretty close in age. I'm 24 and my brothers are 22, 21 and 18.

@snegde‌ I was thinking the same thing while reading through however, I'm not joining the oldest club!

I guess I'm a middle child in a way, and also almost youngest? I've said before, I'm second to youngest out of seven.
Oldest is 42 youngest is 24. I'm with @snowbigdeal‌... Hey! Look at what I can do! Guise...anyone?
That may be middle child, it may be the fact that I'm one of seven. Who knows!

I'm the youngest of 5 and my siblings are 7-17 years older than I am. I definitely have traits from being the baby but since everyone was pretty much moved out by the time I was 10 I also have a few only child traits as well!

Oldest of 4 (32, 30, 28, & 22) and we got so mad that baby brother had NO RULES (I think mom have up on caring too much by then... haha) so she made a rule that he's not allowed to eat green M&Ms so he'd have a rule that we never had. She, to this day, picks the green ones out and brings them to work in her candy bowl if he's going to be home. Love my mom!!

And yes, def got the independence and breaking all the rules so the younger ones had it easier stereotypes coming out of my pores.
