I am the middle child, and I am jealous over everything.
-
No I don't. My sister once said to me, "It's alright for you, you're the oldest and it's alright for (our brother) because he's the youngest." I replied, "And it's alright for you because you're the only daughter." She said that she'd never thought of that and she no longer has an issue with which one of us was born when.

No,and I am the middle child of 5 boys.My parents treated us all equal and we all say that and appreciated it.We all still get along parents and siblings.
-
I'm the oldest child, and I think some of the theory suits me. I am more in charge of who I am than my sister, and I would say a bit more to myself as well.
-
I think it definitely matters... but how it matters varies from situation to situation. I am a middle child of three, and have some middle child traits. I also have some oldest child traits because my brother was fairly shy and not interested in trying things, so I ended up taking on a lot of the oldest-child traits.
-
no i don't think it birth order matters i am a middle child and my parents treated us both equally. we all get along great.
-
I am the youngest of 8 all girls, and there is an 17 year difference between me and my sisters. I was spoiled by my mother and 7 older sisters, it was like I had 8 mothers.
-
I believe there are many more factors at work. Birth order can be one of them, but not necessarily. More likely, the way parents relate to their children is the determining factor, with the individual abilities they are born with next. My brother, first born, has diminished mental capacity, and is more like the baby of the three of us, plus is the only boy.
-
Yes. As a therapist I've seen it in action. I'm youngest in a group of 4 and I see it there as well. Here's a link that explains. :) http://www.littletree.com.au/birthorder.htm

In my family, yes. I was second of four. My older brother got everything he wanted and my youngest sister was spoiled rotten.
-
I think it does, unless disabilities/anomalies enter the equation. I may be a first born but my developmental disorders trump that.
-
i think it plays an important part in our development, and can in many ways affect the way we mature as individuals, im the youngest of four :D
-
I am # 3 in a count of 4..I think it matters.. I wasn't the oldest, they're the best. I wasn't the first girl, they're the best, I wasn't the baby, they're the best. You bet it matters!!
-
I'm an only child, so can't really comment. I did see something on TV a long time ago now that theorised that the younger of two brothers is more likely to be homosexual, which was interesting, although I'm not sure how this pans out in real life.
-
i think to an extent it does, and doesn't play a role...but i'm the oldest in my family
-
I am the youngest and get treated like I am the ultimate in stupid despite being better at almost everything than my older (and supposedly smarter; we'll see about that) brother.
