I'm naturally a bossy take charge type of person so I'll have to wait and see how that affects my parenting style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-birth-order-and-do-you-think-it-affects-what-type-of-parent-you-are#post-8886 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:02:20 +0000 MH.Abroad 8886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a mommy yet, but being an eldest child certainly made me more responsible and more of a caretaker. I started babysitting young, and then nannied. I think being an eldest had something to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-birth-order-and-do-you-think-it-affects-what-type-of-parent-you-are#post-5756 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 18:54:29 +0000 duetletterpress 5756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm an only so i'm not sure how that plays into my parenting. my husband is the youngest of three boys. he's fantastic with her :] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-birth-order-and-do-you-think-it-affects-what-type-of-parent-you-are#post-5750 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 17:07:41 +0000 Boogs 5750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both the oldest. My husband is a twin and is the older brother. I've never thought about how it affects our parenting, but I bet it does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-birth-order-and-do-you-think-it-affects-what-type-of-parent-you-are#post-5733 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 13:02:48 +0000 looch 5733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are both oldest, but honestly, the jury's still out on how that will affect our parenting. I really can't say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-birth-order-and-do-you-think-it-affects-what-type-of-parent-you-are#post-5588 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 07:42:41 +0000 hreichard 5588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the only child and my sons dad is the youngest of 4 boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-birth-order-and-do-you-think-it-affects-what-type-of-parent-you-are#post-5584 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 07:32:39 +0000 Adira 5584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I are both the youngest (of two), but we're also both much more responsible than our elder siblings, so I'm not sure there's much truth to the birth-order thing. I think it's likely that I'll be the caregiver/responsible one with our kids and my husband will be the fun one, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-birth-order-and-do-you-think-it-affects-what-type-of-parent-you-are#post-5543 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 20:00:18 +0000 MaisyMay 5543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs and I are both twins, but I'm an older twin and he's a younger. I definitely grew up acting like an eldest child, much more responsible than my sister. Hubs had an interesting time of it; he was an absolute younger child for a while, but when he and his sis were teens, he became the much more responsible one and still is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-birth-order-and-do-you-think-it-affects-what-type-of-parent-you-are#post-5532 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 18:59:09 +0000 Mrs. Bee 5532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an oldest so I've always been a caretaker, which I guess is a good trait to have when you're a mom. Mr. Bee is a middle (amongst 4) and a youngest (younger twin), and I think he has traits of being a middle (peacemaker), and a youngest (great at playing with charlie).</p> <p>are you an oldest, middle or youngest? do you think it affects what type of parent you are or will be? </p>
