What is was like being the youngest of 5 children? Well, for me it was wonderful. My father spoiled me rotten and when my siblings got in trouble for doing something, I just ran to my dad and avoided Mom and "the belt".
She would chase my siblings around with it but never used it. It was like a threat that never happened. Had it's drawbacks too though. Mom was a stay at home Mom until I hit kindergarten, then she was off to work to help support the family, so she wasn't home when I got home from school. Plus I was always too young to join in on what the older kids were doing......sniff sniff. So, all in all, it had it's up and downs, but still, I wouldn't trade it!
How about you guys? How many siblings for you growing up? If any only child, did you wish for siblings or were you happy to have Mom and Dad all to yourselves?
