Are you the oldest, middle, youngest or an only child?

This is interesting, it's usually the youngest who's the golden child bc the parents have their youngest kids when they're more experienced and "ready", but the eldest tends to be the "burden" or an experiment

I think my parents started developing personal problems (alcoholism, etc) *around the same time* as me being around, and the two became associated.

I have been reading about birth order theory recently.

It seems birth order has little to do with self destructive/suicidal ideation due to the inconsistency of results from all papers I was able to find.

It is still an interesting topic and does not necessarily devalue birth order's influence on other areas of psychological development.

im the youngest

i have a sister, 4 years older than me

whilst she took every decision in her life right (become a doctor in medicine, marry with a guy with a good job, two babies coming, they have a good house in a good place), I did the opposite :)

another accident here
family happiness was perfect until I came along
everyone took out their agression on me
my sister,twelve years older than me,was always mean to me
and my parents were also happy to have a scapegoat

 

[dustymuck]

Only child
One punching bag was good enough for them ig

 

[Eternal Disaster]

I am the elder one. The burden is so much.

 

[aleaiactaest]

I'm the oldest and a "happy accident". My parents like to say I was their "test run".

Needless to say they fucked me up pretty good lol.

 

[yawdrareg]

youngest. i have an older brother. he is very successful and is building a great life for himself while i was pulled out of middle school due to trauma and am now disabled and chronically ill and in pain all the time.

i'm just glad i was the sick one and not him, because he actually wants to live.

 

[Eliska]

Other, because I have a brother who is the same age as me.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I'm the oldest. I have two younger sisters.

Being an only child had it's perks at times, but it also meant I had to endure most domestic hardships completely alone.

Youngest. Trouble from the start.

I fucking suck and want out.

 

[unluckysadness]

Youngest. I have 2 older brothers but I don't see them

 

[Green Destiny]

Youngest of three. I was actually an unplanned pregnancy that my parents decided to follow through with even though they already had 2 kids. Can't help but feel resentful somewhat since they already had 2 kids, they didn't really need a 3rd.

 

[Grog]

I'm the youngest. I was an accident baby; my mom didn't know she was pregnant with me at first so she kept drinking and smoking for a bit longer than she should have… and then out came me — full of heart deformities and other birth defects. Yay!

 

[Dejected 55]

I was an only child... until I was 18... and then I became the oldest.
