Are you a firstborn, middle, baby, or only child?

[Gennies]

Guess I'll really mess you up...I was the youngest of 3 girls. At 6 my 8 year old sister was killed. Shortly after my parents adopted a younger son to heal the loss. Seems I should read your book to see what it says about my situation...wonder if it's right about my career path and how much my siblings and parents rely on me

First, I'm so sorry about the loss of your sister, that's terrible. I would guess that with your situation, you were forces into being the oldest child and your brother is the baby (as long as there is no more than six years between the two of you, if there's more than six years, he would be considered an oldest child like you). I would definitely read the book, it's so interesting...

Interesting...there is 7 years between us. Seems I'm gonna have to read this book now as I would have never thought of him as an oldest. He's so immature even at 30. Thank you for the comments on my sis. She was struck by a car. Though I was young it's one of those losses you never truly get over as it changed our lives in every way imaginable. But made me who I am today. I'm going to Amazon right now to look for it. Thank you

I am the oldest of three girls and the oldest grandchild on both sides of the family. When I was two my mother had her only son that died within eight hours of birth. I always wondered what it would have been like to grow up with a brother. I am now close with my middle sister. This is surprising considering that fact that we use to fight so much that we have joked that we fought so much to keep our parents entertained. (I am sure they didn't see it that way.)

My first husband was an only we child and we had one daughter together.

I'm very sadden to learn this about your sister.

I am second oldest from six. Funny thing is everyone since gradeschool thought I was the oldest even if she's way taller than me. Some people still forget she's older and I don't think I look older than what I am but who knows.

Thank you! I truly believe every thing happens for a reason. I believe that her time here was over and God called her home. I know someday we'll meet again! Everything that's happened in my life from her loss has helped me become a stronger and more compassionate person. I hope when we meet again she tells me I made her proud I appreciate all your kindness! (((((Hugs))))

Me too and it sucked! I never got to play with the boys because they were always off with each other! Every guy I ever dated got grilled and I was never ever equal to them in their opinions. Of course when we grew up the story changed considerably!

I LOVED the Birth Order Book!

You're the first person on here who has read it! I think others have ordered it though since I started this thread!

[Ellie May]

I'm the youngest.

Me, then half sister, then half brother would be the oldest.
Of course we don't just love each other half though. lol.
We lost half brother about eight years ago.

Oh yeah! My BA is in Psychology so I'm in to that kind of stuff. I really think birth order plays a key role in our lives.
