The last Question Of The Day for 2008!


Sorry I'm late, we lost internet/cable sometime in the night, probably from the snowstorm and wind!

Where are you in birth order? Only child, oldest, middle, youngest, adopted, etc.?

I'm the oldest. I have some of the qualities of an oldest child, but growing up, I was pretty wild! I'm not so sure I buy into this whole theory, lol! Like anything to do with the human mind, there is no real concrete, one size fits all explanation!

On the west side of... of... somewhere.
third and baby of the family. My brother is 7 years older than me, my sister is 2.5 years older, and adopted. (I was the 'oops.')

Yes, I do share some of those traits listed for the youngest... my brother doesn't really share much of the 'oldest' traits... but a little of the 'only' traits... my sister doesn't share any of the middle/adopted traits... she just doesn't... although a little of the 'second' but her rivalry isn't toward our brother... it's toward me... but then again, my family is strange...

I'm the baby. There's just my brother and me, and he's 8 years older, so in many ways we are both "only" children.

Interesting! I'm adopted and so is my brother. We're adopted from different familys. In our adopted family (my real family) I'm the youngest. Biologically speaking my brother is the youngest and I would be the oldest. In terms of the characteristics linked I vaguely fit the youngest description and definitely fit the only girl among boys description swinging from tom-boy as a child to much more feminine as I've gotten older. The description of an adopted child doesn't seem to fit at all.

I have a twin sister, and an older brother... I was born first from my twin, so if you count a few minutes, I am the middle child

I'm the oldest of three and definitely have the characteristics that go along with it - major sense of responsibility, high expectations from parents, etc...

I went from being the baby and only girl (with 3 older brothers) for 10 years to being #4 of 5 and the older daughter. How messed up am I?

I'm the middle child and the only girl with 2 brothers. My youngest brother is the "favorite" with my older brother occasionally filling in for him.
