My DH has definitely improved in the selfishness/sharing department but he still has a long ways to go. He still refuses to share toothpaste and floss container, even though we use the exact same brand. And his coffee mug is off limits, even if it's the only clean one left in the cupboard. UGH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-birthorder-of-you-and-your-spouse/page/2#post-87055 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 16:43:36 +0000 mrsjyw 87055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: how did i just see this post? :P i always tell DH that he's come MILES since we first started dating in the selfless/consideration department!

I've heard that two oldest children don't make a good romantic match but his parents are both the oldest &amp; they are a great example for us. I did have two long term relationships where I dated a youngest child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-birthorder-of-you-and-your-spouse/page/2#post-79358 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:17:52 +0000 anbanan15 79358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the youngest and DH is the oldest </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-birthorder-of-you-and-your-spouse/page/2#post-78496 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:18:46 +0000 katdevargas 78496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm oldest &amp; he's youngest as well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-birthorder-of-you-and-your-spouse/page/2#post-78145 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 06:08:24 +0000 mediagirl 78145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're both the youngest. My Dad was the youngest and Mom was 2 of 4,the oldest girl. </p> <p>I'm the dominant one in the relationship. He was really the baby, though - born 7 years after his youngest sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-birthorder-of-you-and-your-spouse#post-77987 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 18:17:06 +0000 cupcakemama 77987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: DH and I are the reverse of you.

Every relationship I've ever had that lasted more than 3 months has been with an oldest of 4 - how crazy is that?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-birthorder-of-you-and-your-spouse#post-77982 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 18:07:06 +0000 cyneswith 77982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's the oldest of 5, and I'm the younger of 2.

I think we both grew up kind of being the voice of reason in our families, and so now it feels nice to have only reasonable voices in our own family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-birthorder-of-you-and-your-spouse#post-77795 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 00:20:46 +0000 Boogs 77795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both oldest, but he is the older twin.

Like you, not sure if it is compatibility or something else. </p> <p>We are both very career and education driven, but he is much more easy going than me- I am definitely a micro manager (but working on it!). Fortunately our son is taking after his dad in the easygoing department! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-birthorder-of-you-and-your-spouse#post-77790 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 23:51:25 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 77790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those who are both oldests or both youngests, would you say that you fight more or less or the same as a split couple? I'm asking because I feel like Mr. Jacks and I rarely fight and I don't know if it's a birth order thing or just a compatibility thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-birthorder-of-you-and-your-spouse#post-77784 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 22:59:03 +0000 lemondrop 77784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both the oldest of two- he has a younger sister, and I have a younger brother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-birthorder-of-you-and-your-spouse#post-77779 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 22:30:54 +0000 PitBulLover 77779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the middle between two boys and DH is the baby, but he is a twin so I don't know what that makes him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-birthorder-of-you-and-your-spouse#post-77707 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:44:51 +0000 ALittleP 77707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the middle child (of 3) and my DH is the baby (of 2). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-birthorder-of-you-and-your-spouse#post-77703 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:37:43 +0000 MsMini 77703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an oldest (of 3) and DH is a youngest (of 3) as well!

I was an only child until my mom had my half brother when I was 18 years old. Mr. TTT is the youngest of two. I'm pretty bossy (hello teacher), so I think there might be something to that theory that oldest children pick spouses who are used to being bossed around ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-birthorder-of-you-and-your-spouse#post-77651 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 17:56:55 +0000 banana 77651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Exactly like us!

I find that I had (have? lol!) typical younger sibling issues because older sister got everything first etc. but it was different for DH. Rules were different for him and his sister because of the different genders. Things like, he had to fix his own car long before she had to do her own because he was a boy and was taught to change his own oil. Seems silly, but I really think being different genders made a difference in the expierence of being a youngest. </p>
