birth order

[some guy you dont know]

so, i realize this is mostly a waste of time, but i found some info on wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_order , and i felt like sharing it with you. its mostly about the order of being born, and i find it highly informative. for example, i see the middleborn section, which i am a middle child, and i can highly see how much that is the same to me. anyone else here fit under any of the order, and do you relate to what it says?

Huh. Yeah. That's interesting. I'm a firstborn. I never really grew up, but I do tend to be bossy and strict, especially when I have to babysit my little brothers and the gang of twelve-year-olds that seem to think they live here.

The only ones that don't fit are the organizedness and the seriousness. I'm not serious at all, and my room is literally a pile of junk. I just sort of crawl into the mess of blankets and clothes to sleep at night; the bed is just a mattress on the floor. Bloody boys broke the box spring jumping on it. Hey! Alliteration!

It said that the youngest child is usually the "party animal, outgoing charmers, personable manipulators, the entertainer who is unafraid to test his or her luck." Later, it says there are exceptions. I am an exception. Outgoing charmer? Personable manipulator? I think not. Well, only around people I know very well and trust a lot. But "outgoing charmer" and "personable manipulator" would describe my middle sister quite well, however. The statements about the first-born child seem true. We have a huge sibling rivarly thing in my family. My oldest sister was the pride and glory of my parents, so both my middle sister and I feel inclined to do as well as or better than she did. And it's sad because my oldest sister...well, she hopes we won't do as well so that she might be still be considered the greatest of the three of us. And my middle sister forces herself to do well because she wants to live up to my sister's name. And I HAVE to do equally well; otherwise, I'll get burnt off the family tree or something.

While I'm sure this is true in a lot of cases, it's REALLY not true in my family. I'm the youngest, and my older sister is more of a party animal than me. I don't think I was really spoiled, but my parents were more lax with me on rules not because I was younger, but because they knew they could trust me.

Lol and I hope I'm not manipulative...

That's pretty cool, since I am the youngest in my family, I am kind of the party animal and entertainer( I never thought of it having to do with birth order). When it mentioned the spacing of age that the next child may have first born tendencies, I have had one or two of them.

I am the oldest and I rule on high! I am also the executor for my father's estate (when he passes)

I think it's quite accurate. It described my oldest brother Jordan well, and my mid-kid brother Jason even better. lol
I myself sort of fit the bill as the youngest, but I don't have "many friends", just a few, and I'm not really an attention-getter. I am, however, very independent and creative.
