Most of my friends are onlies and the ones that are not have had major roles of responsibility in their families from an early age. DH is also the oldest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-birth-order-affect-your-personality#post-2595042 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 02:22:36 +0000 lamariniere 2595042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH and I are both the oldest. As far as friends, I think it's a pretty even divide and in my closest circle, only 1 is an oldest child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-birth-order-affect-your-personality#post-2594947 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 20:44:21 +0000 farawayyama 2594947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but my younger brother has CP and other cognitive disabilities so I was kind of a hyper oldest. I even moved in with him for a couple of years in my early twenties to be his caregiver. I think I became an odd combination of hyper responsible but also very young for a couple of years after as a result. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-birth-order-affect-your-personality#post-2594758 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 16:31:11 +0000 looch 2594758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I are both oldest. But friend wise, all over the map. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-birth-order-affect-your-personality#post-2594755 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 16:23:17 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2594755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an only child, but with oldest child tendencies. My partner and most of my closest friends are also the oldest sibling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-birth-order-affect-your-personality#post-2594715 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:47:30 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2594715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a pretty typical older sibling, so yes I think it did affect me. I married an oldest, but my closest friends are split pretty evenly with half being oldest and half being youngest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-birth-order-affect-your-personality#post-2594695 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:33:02 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2594695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm oldest with only oldest friends and an oldest spouse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-birth-order-affect-your-personality#post-2594691 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:29:38 +0000 Truth Bombs 2594691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I'm a youngest with a typical oldest child's personality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-birth-order-affect-your-personality#post-2594690 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:27:52 +0000 PeaceLily 2594690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is interesting! I'm the youngest and my closest friends are all the youngest as well (including a twin who is a few minutes younger than her twin brother).</p> <p>Over the years though I've had close friends that were only children or the oldest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-birth-order-affect-your-personality#post-2594476 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 12:47:30 +0000 snowjewelz 2594476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so... In my close circle I have a variety of birth orders. My BFF is the youngest while I'm the oldest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-birth-order-affect-your-personality#post-2594432 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 12:19:31 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2594432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am definitely the oldest and my brother is definitely the youngest (though we're only a year apart!).</p> <p>They say that oldests typically befriend other oldests/only children, and youngests befriend other youngests.</p> <p>This is definitely true in my case... all my closest friends are oldest or only children!</p> <p>Do you think birth order affected your family dynamics and friendships? </p>
