Yeah, don't take it as gospel. It was only a general analysis of how children tend to develop in that environment. Obviously there are many other factors in people's lives that shape them.

Yes there can be some truth in it.
The lost son who carelessly threw away all his money, the oldest who was very strict and obeyed. A lot of times in the O.T. He picks the youngest who's looked down upon to help the others. Joseph, David.
Martha and Mary, don't even know if she was younger but I automatically assume that she was.

I wonder how much comedians are the youngest.
Since my brother and sister were 10 and 8 when I came they were good friends. When they were together with my parents it was always: oh you're too young. You may talk with us old people when you're older. Only way to earn your place was by making the best jokes lol. I see that with my youngest too.
Lol my middle one won in school. The teacher said he was the best. She had never seen someone doing it that good.
Hahaha a game who could make most people laugh. He said well I just put up this funny face and the whole class laughed.

I'm the youngest with a brother 5 years older than me and a sister 7 years older than me

I'm the youngest of two, I have a sister who is four years older than me.

Oh we call a windshield a windscreen. Its made of glass and stops you from getting rained on, i suppose. These days all cars have them, at least in my town.

All cars have them here too.

I'm the youngest of 3, an older brother and sister.

I'm the oldest, I have a younger brother.

The stereotypes of older, middle, younger are often true. I saw this the other day and it sums up my family pretty well:

I am a middle child with two brothers. My older brother was very bossy and just did his own thing, while my younger always seemed to get the most attention and got away with a lot. I on the other hand always felt like the odd one out. And despite my brothers hitting and breaking things when they got angry, I would never start fights or break anything. I would however fight back when my younger started a fight, LOL. So yeah... just don't forget about your middle.

I am the oldest in a family of three girls and I am so ashamed to say that this describes me and my sisters quite well LOL
Of course no pop psych summary is going to get it entirely right, but it's scary how many of those traits I recognize in myself.

Maybe it's like those horoscope fortunes that are general enough to apply to everyone? I hope that's why I recognized some of those characteristics in myself

I don't think she knows me very well. I think she has this idea that I'm like this doormat or something.

Should I start a new thread titled, "If you were a doormat, what would you say?" LOL

I am the eldest and have 2 younger sisters which I have protected

'Welcome'

Or...no JWS please.

Or 'wipeout'

Lol, I like it!

I would say, "You can wipe away your dirt with me but you can only wipe away your sins with Christ!"

I looked at the picture at that and my brother is the middle child and he's most definitely not a peacemaker

Goodbook said:

one of my friends got me onto this site that has first-name-meanings and gives you a scarily accurate picture of your personality based on your name.

I think she's a bit obssessed with it, to be honest. Well last time she tried to cast my horoscope and I told her um..I'm a born-again christian I don't need a horoscope to tell me where I'm at....

That's funny because my first name can mean "Protector". I used to beat the snot out of people who messed with my siblings.

I am the oldest and have one younger brother.Me and him are 17 months apart.

I'm the third oldest of nine children. The oldest being 21 and the youngest being two.
Four siblings were adopted and four siblings are biological.
We also have many different hair colours...it usually is a topic of conversation when people meet us. My oldest brothers hair is dark, my hair is blonde, my next sister is brunette, then a redhead and then the last is dark (the biological ones). The adopted ones are mostly blonde and one brunette. People always think my biological siblings are all the blondes.
It's fun being part of a big family. Life is never boring or quiet.

Im the youngest. I have a half sister.
