Scientific Waffle Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 After doing some random web browsing, I came across a series of articles which talked about how birth order (older child, middle child, youngest child, etc) affects development. I found this very interesting, and I am curious as to your own takes on this. For fun, do post what child you were (older/younger siblings), and how you think it has possibly affected/strengthened/scarred you. Should be whimsical, just name anything you suspect is influenced by the presence of siblings (or lack thereof).Type: Middle child with two brothersEffect(?): Creativity, detached approach to personal conflict, "go-with-the-flow" attitude towards life in general, extreme dislike of "sheep-like" thinking, dislike of most things scheduled, extreme distaste for arguments from authority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle with two brothers, creative, aloof to most personal conflicts, go with the flow, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agares Tretiak Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Middle-childish. But it's difficult with twins, since we switched roles frequently. I have a younger brother. We used to fight a lot, and have a couple scars to prove it. Errr. OH. I always got a room to mself, because I could wrangle the concessions out of my brothers that made it possible for me to do so.
