Oldest and only children tend to be CEO's, presidents, etc., while youngest children take more risks (they can afford to since the oldest is usually the responsible one).
I think being the oldest is way harder than being the youngest. I'm an oldest and if I were born again, I'd want to come back as a youngest!
What about you?

I'm the oldest and I want to be the youngest! There so much more responsibility placed on me, as the oldest. Sometimes I just want to be the spoiled one!

I enjoy being the oldest because I'm a listener and I like to give advice, so it works for me. However, my parents were so much more lenient with my little sister than with me. We were just talking about that a few days ago...my parents were so strict when I was in high school, but 3 years later with my sister they were wayyy less strict. So that part would be nice to be the youngest, but overall, I like being the oldest.

I'm an only child and can't imagine it any other way. I've always liked being an only child.

I'm middle and I would want to be youngest. The youngest in my family got sooo spoiled, and much less strict rules too.

Was born the youngest and would want to be again. I only have one older Brother and he "paved" the way. I totally got away with more things then he did. Haha

I'm the oldest and even though it was hard--I think I'd want to be the oldest again. Even though my younger brothers got away with a lot more stuff and had less responsibilities--they are not as mature at 24 as I was.

Only - and wouldn't mind being an only again. But if I could have another go at it, I wouldn't have mind a sibling to play with!

I'm the youngest, it's great being the baby! Plus, I even got to experience being an only child when my siblings were off at college. It was awesome.

I'm an oldest child, and I'm happy for that. Yes, there are drawbacks (feeling responsible, being a realist), but overall it made me a more successful adult. I'm a natural leader, and its helped me in life.

I really liked being the middle child, too! My middle child experience may have been close to an eldest child experience, though, because my parents entrusted me with more than my older brother, and people who meet us always assume I'm the eldest because of the way my brother carries himself (I've been telling him for about 10 years that he's XXage going on 16). I like the comfort of the middle, though.
