Well, I am considered the 'only child' for my mom.
According to my father, I was the 'oldest' since I have two younger half sisters (21 & 12).

Youngest of 4 my mom actually had her pregnacy with me confirmed a day before her 40th birthday, she use to always tell me I was an unexpected surprise, but a pleasant one.
I am the youngest of 4 children and yes I was spoiled so they tell me.
Youngest of 7 if you count step brothers & sisters. I AM NOT SPOILED I AM PAMPERED
I am the oldest, there is a catch though
By the way I am 29
I am the oldest of my real siblings:
I have a 22 yr old (full Sis) - 7 yrs difference
I have a 9 yr old (half Sis) - 20 yrs difference
I also have a 11 yr daughter and a 8 yr old son
I also had 2 step brothers, one older by 1 yr and the other one younger by 2 yrs.
I also had 3 foster brothers all three older, one by 4 yrs. 3 yrs and one by 1 yr.
so I was raised as a middle child but really the oldest. I am can be conrolling at times with my kids, but I am a very laid back person. I have learned to go with the flow and nothing in life is worth getting all worked up about.
Hope this was amusing for you as it is for me when I explain this to people

I am the oldest of three girls
Oldest, and all girls. I don't fit any of the descriptions of the oldest child, but I do fit into the oldest in that I wore boys clothes when I was young and continued until I got married and then I became girly. I used to hate pink, and now almost everything I own is pink.
I'm almost 6 years older than my sister, so in some of these things we would each be considered an only child.

I'm an only for my Mum.
I've got a 1/2 sister who's younger than me but we've never lived together and I've got 5 step brothers and sisters, who I don't live with (except one).
I enjoy adult company over people my own age - but that's probably because the people in the cat fancy are a lot older than me so I've been brought up with adults.

I'm a combination of "only child" "ghost child" and "adopted child". Basically, my mom had a miscarriage, and then carried my brother to full term but he died during delivery....then they decided to adopt.
Needless to say, I was the center of attention of my parents and grandparents (I was the only grandchild in town) but I don't think I was spoiled as in I got everything I wanted...just spoiled with attention. I went through a phase in my teens and early 20's where I felt second best because everything I had when I was a baby originally was originally given to them for my brother (my parents were given 48 hours notice that a baby was ready for them). Although my parents never, ever implied that I was a replacement, that's how I took it for a few years. I eventually got over that. I think a lot of that just had to do with the natural separation from parents and getting my own life. But it still doesn't change the fact that if my brother had lived, they wouldn't have even thought about adopting me, much less been able to in 1970 through a state adoption because most people with a child already were denied. Ok, maybe I'm not completely over it, but I could be someone completely different right now if they hadn't lost their first child.

I am 3rd of 4, but the 1st passed away before any of us was born. I grew up a middle. Is that how you figure it out?
I feel all things happen for a reason. Just thank God that you had great parents that loved you and you were where you needed to be. I have two natural children and still would love to adopt. For now, my husband and I are going to end up with a farm, lol.
I am my dad's middle child, and my mom's oldest child.
