Couples: Order of the siblings

Huh? If you have siblings but you are neither the oldest nor the youngest, than you have to fall in the middle somewhere. Or maybe I'm missing something... This sounds like one of those wacky riddles to me.

I voted for the wrong thing.
I only have a brother and he is older..not by much..a year and 1 month and 4 days apart. and I am the youngest.
He will be 22 in August and I will be 21 in September.
LOL just far too many siblings!Originally Posted by mamacat

Second youngest of eight total.

The link mentions about middle children in larger families. If say there are 6 children in a family, the 2nd eldest will display more middle child tendencies...while the 3rd, 4th and 4th children will be less.
Well, I am the middle child, and my exboyfriend is an only child...and I said EX boyfriend right?
Needless to say, it didn't work out.

I'm the oldest of 3, I'm 30, my middle sister is 27 and my youngest sister is 24.
My husband is younger of 2, he's 30 also and his brother is today 35. I said he was the only in the poll, since his bro is 5 years older and as kids my husband didn't see much of his older brother so he sometimes acted like an only child.

I am the youngest child in my family and my hubby is the oldest in his. Unfortunately, I am the one who is the bill payer, gets things done for the house, etc, while he is the go and play as much as he can while he can because he hates to do anything he doesn't want to.
I'm almost literally the "middle child", as my oldest sibling was born 3 years and five months before me, and the youngest 3 years and 7 months later than me. Hubby is four years older than his only brother, and five years older than me.
We're both the oldest.
While I've heard that you're supposed to do oldest/youngest for best compatibility, I like it because we're both responsible so we mesh well when taking care of household things and making decisions.

That's what I've heard too...Sometimes I don't think the youngest/youngest meshes well. B and I are both a little lazy. I absolutely do not like having to be the responsible one all the time (bills in my name, am the DD all year except on my birthday, etc, etc).
He claims he doesn't have the patience that I do...ummm...I don't really, I just keep it all in and explode at one point. Otherwise I really don't have the attention span (easily distracted while driving...even right now: dinners cooking, but I'm concentrating on this post
I voted Only/Youngest, because I am my mother's only child. My step-siblings have never felt like 'real' siblings to me. Just too much tension. DH is the youngest. Sometimes it seems the descriptions do fit. In some areas DH likes me to 'take charge' in others, he's just got to be the one to do it. And the thing about onlies feeling incompetent around adults...deff been there!
Me too! We are both the youngest(Trav the youngest of 3 and I am the youngest of 2)but Trav is MUCh more mature
My sister is 11 years older so I was like an only child growing up too
