What is your place in the birth order AND do you believe the "syndromes" that come along with your place?

Only child- spoiled brat
Oldest child- responsible and takes care of others
Middle child- goes unnoticed and forgotten
Youngest child- the baby

BFP #1: 3/23/13, EDD: 11/22/13, MC: 4/2/13
Convinced it was a boy and missing him every day!
BFP #2: 10/25/13, EDD: 7/3/14, Grow baby Grow! Anabelle Rose born 6/6/14

Re: CPW: What's your birth order?

  • I am a youngest, but there's enough of an age gap between me and my sisters that I am sometimes more like an oldest or an only.

  • Middle child but I would say the stereotype that fits me more than forgotten is that I'm the most easily adaptable.
  • SS- best description is probably only child. Yes I think I can be spoiled but I also think a lot of the oldest child stuff applies as well. 

    Now for the SS part, I am my mom's only child but my dad's 3rd. Both of my brothers lived with with their mother and are 18 years and 12 years older than me, so we don't really have a sibling relationship. We are not very close and only see each other every other year or so and only talk on the phone 7-10 times a year. Growing up I only saw them in the summer and at holidays. Once my dad passed away, it would be even longer in between visits. My mom remarried when I was 17 and my stepdad has one daughter she was 12 at the time. We lived together for a year and half before I left home. She and I have a more sibling like relationship than I do with my brothers and we very much fit into the oldest and baby dynamics in our relationship. 

    For example my room turned into a guest room months after I left home, sister's room still filled with her stuff to this day. Even though she is 28 and a pilot in the Airforce and hasn't come home for longer than 2 weeks since she left for the Academy 10 years ago.

  • THis was a bit hard for me to vote for. I picked oldest child which is true but I was an only child til I was 17.  I have a 1/2 sister.  

    I was always doing things when I was young.  Cooking, cleaning, laundry, I would say before I was 10 since I lived with my dad.  

    By the time my sister came I as on my way to college.
