I'm an oldest (one younger brother), but if I were born again, I'd want to be the youngest! I think it's harder being the oldest.
What about you?
-
agreed!
Oldest with a younger bro
-
Middle w/older sis, younger bro.
-
Younger with an older brother!
-
Only!
-
Only!
-
oldest with a younger brother.
I like being first and being the boss, haha
-
I'm in the middle, but the only girl (two brothers).
-
Oldest and DH is the youngest, but the only boy. Makes for a good and interesting dynamic in out house!
-
Oldest with a younger brother. The standards are set so high if you're the oldest. My brother has it so ridiculously easy now.
-
I'm the oldest. I have twin brother and sister that are 8 years younger than me!
-
I'm the oldest.
-
Middle of 5. So the best of both (old and young) worlds and the worst of both. DH is the oldest, as are almost all of my friends, actually.
I definitely benefited from not being the oldest in terms of my parents being less strict and being a little more comfortable financially. My older sister still (jokingly) complains that she never got a swing set or dance lessons and I did -
Oldest with a younger brother.
-
oldest. 2 younger brothers, younger sister and younger step-brother
-
Oldest with a younger sister and much younger brother. I made life easy for them! I think my personality fits the bill for being the oldest though
-
Youngest with 2 older brothers.
-
Middle and only girl between two brothers. I like to say I was the only one who was actually planned though! Both my brothers were accidents : ) My parents had my older brother at 19-20, and my little brother was the result of a failed diaphragm.
I didn't like being the middle child. I only want kids in even numbers to avoid the middle child syndrome.
-
Youngest of 2
-
Youngest of 3. It's definitely easier being the youngest!
-
Only
-
Middle. Sister is 18 months older and brother is 18 months younger. My parents didn't plan on us that close together.
-
Youngest with an older brother. But I seem to have more of the typical personality of an oldest child.
-
I'm the middle child. I was the only girl though so I think that also made a difference.
-
Oldest of 4 (that I was raised with by my mother). My sister and I are only a 1 1/2 apart so we both felt like the oldest to our twin brothers. I also have 4 other siblings from my dad.
I like being the oldest. I sign all my cards to my mom, "your flae" (first, last, and everything) haha.
-
I'm the oldest, but I like being the oldest!
-
Youngest. I didnt like being the youngest
-
I'm a muddled middle. Second oldest of five, firstborn of my father's, second of four girls in a row.
I'm not the oldest, not the youngest, not the middle child...I'm quirky and don't follow the rules!
-
Oldest with a younger sister and brother. DH is the oldest as well.
I always wondered what it would be like to be the youngest...my mom had two miscarriages before me, so theoretically, I'd be the youngest in that alternate universe.
-
Youngest here, with two older brothers (8 and 10 years old, respectively). For the most part, I agree that things are easier for the youngest. However, I was set to a much higher standard, behavior-wise, as the only girl. Also, since my parents divorced when I was 2 I'm always a little jealous that my brothers knew my mom and dad as a couple, which is something that I have never experienced.
-
i'm the youngest of 8. love being the youngest
-
Only but I wish I had siblings.
-
Middle with an older brother and two younger sisters. I'm okay with where I fell!
-
I'm the youngest middle (#4 out of 5 girls). I think it's a good spot for me.
-
Youngest of three. FI is the youngest of two. I have an older brother, then an older sister. FI has an older brother.
-
Only!
-
I am #2 of 5. I am the oldest girl, though, and I think I have more characteristics of the oldest child.
I wish I was a middle. The middle in my family is so so spoiled. There is a general consensus that she is the favorite!
-
well I'm the youngest on my moms side. (one older brother)
I'm #2 of 5 on my dads side. -
Middle.
-
Same as @crash806 and @Smurfette... Middle w/ a older sister and younger brother. Sister is 2.5 years older and brother is about 2 years younger.
My sister acted up so much that my parents were really hard on me. I was a good kid so I loosened up my parents for my brother.
