Poll: Where do you fall in the birth order?

[silliness7]

And we have high standards. And we'd have to be the room mom. And we'd have to have regular conferences with the teacher. And we wouldn't approve of the reading list. And, and, and...

 

 

:lol: Exactly!

It might help some to have a definition of birth order.

 

Dr. Kevin Lehman, who wrote the Birth Order Book, says that a first born is...the first born. :D But it there are two children in a family, a boy and a girl, both are first-borns, because one is the first-born boy, the other is the first-born girl. So if there were a boy, then a girl, then another girl, the first girl is a first-born, not a middle child. See?

 

 

 

Yes. I have 2 firstborns, 2 middles, 2 3rd borns and then a baby. And it is super freaky weird how similar my oldests are and my middles and my 3rd's. The baby has broken the mold. And I think we are all glad for that. :D

I don't agree with those birth order rules for homeschooling families where the siblings are around each other most of the time.

 

I think it makes sense that there's more oldests (for aforementioned reasons) and youngests (because we are used to getting our own way and doing what we want :D).

 

I posted that like 5 pages back. :lol:

I voted other.

I'm my father's only, my mother's first born.

When she remarried I ended up squarely in the middle of my step-siblings.

I'm very shocked at how greatly the first borns are outnumbering the others. I also wonder, out of those who voted middle or last or second, how many would also have first born characteristics based on factors like their gender or time-span between siblings.

 

 

 

I voted last since I'm the youngest of 4, but using the time-span criteria mentioned, I am a first-born as I am 8 years younger than the sibling closest in age to me.

 

Interesting.
