Do you like being the eldest, middle, young one? (babysit, baby, chores)

[Theliberalvoice]

I am the eldest and I hate it.

You?

[suzie02]

I am the "left over one"(middle child). I hated it growing up but now I don't care.

I'm the youngest, and don't really give it a whole lot of thought, because it is what it is.

Every "position among siblings" has both advantages and disadvantages, and every family operates in its own unique way.

[veuvegirl]

Youngest and don't care. Growing up didn't seem to matter, but there is a 4 year age difference between sis and I.

[briannasmomma]

I am the oldest at 26, my middle sister is 25, and my youngest sister is 13. I don't mind being the oldest at all.

I'm the oldest among my siblings and cousins.

I like it except for the fact that I feel like now I am the one who is supposed to keep everyone connected but we never were that connected growing up (all over the country). I am also the only female among 7 cousins and I think that plays a part in the whole "keeping everyone connected" role that right now I am letting my aunt try to handle.

[TouchOfWhimsy]

I'm the oldest, at 2 and 6 years older than my brothers, respectively. I don't mind it at all. When I was a kid, I had more chores and had to babysit my younger siblings quite a bit, so I wasn't fond of it then... but now as an adult, I have no issues.

I'm a middle child. I liked it. There was always a sibling around to keep me company. When the older ones moved out, I had my younger siblings.

I also like that being a middle child instills a certain mentality---the peacemaker, the most fair minded, etc.

A psychology instructor said if you want to chose someone to be an executor of your estate, pick a middle child because the middle child will be the most fair.

The oldest child will take a larger share, and the youngest child will take everything. (I thought that was funny!)

Since middle children are often faced with a feeling of unfairness, they tend to be very fair minded people who want to be fair to others.

[Easybreezy]

I'm an only child. Actually, the only child of an only child.

People often ask me if I like being an only, but I always answer that I don't really have anything else to compare it to.

I'm the youngest of 4 girls.

Just finished reading a book about sisters~Mother always liked you best. It was interesting to see my sisters & my roles being related to our birth order.
