Re: How birth order effects your life
That works pretty well to describe me and my younger brother I think.

Re: How birth order effects your life
OP,
I kind of see this already in my two kids(girls 4/6), as far as the examples you mentioned. The older girl is bright and already excelling in school. The younger one is a maniac on her bike etc., kind of goofy and we're having more of a challenge getting her interested in the educational stuff that came naturally to the older one. |

i always figured the younger siblings would be smarter because they had more interaction.

[/ QUOTE ] Maybe, but the article also points out that the older siblings benefit from the intelligence gained by having to teach the younger siblings and look after them. As someone who tutored a lot of my idiot frat brothers for tests, I can attest to how much that increased my understanding of things! James |

Re: How birth order effects your life
Mostly true in my family, but I am slightly more intelligent than my otherwise worldly brother.
I see this in other families as well that I am close to. Aren't there a lot more characteristics that seem to be partially defined, or at least shaped, by birth order? |

Re: How birth order effects your life
there was a book written on this called "born to rebel." ben franklin is an example the author used, being the youngest son of the youngest son for five generations. |

Re: How birth order effects your life
Seems pretty accurate for my family. I have 2 older sisters...oldest one is a hardworking go-getter with a Harvard MBA...i'm a lazy poker player...looks like all signs point to me being busto in the future.
But at least I'm funnier! |
