Birth order character traits/problems

[Anonymous]

I’m the youngest of four and my aunt often jokes that I’m the only one she likes because I turned out nice, sane, and most important independent. Oldest mostly has his life together; he’s just a little selfish/narrow-minded. Second is a damn mess, incredibly mean, very unstable, 45 and still on my parents’ phone plan; many of us have cut her off. Third is a failure to launch scenario, still at home mooching off my retired parents with her also failure to launch DH and kids.

DP. You’re an idiot.

A different DP. I think she is spot on.

Older ones are either best among the bunch or the worst.

Opposite for me. Youngest in family and almost all of my close friends throughout life, and my spouse, are the youngest. My first-born child hangs out almost entirely with other first-borns, and my youngest child almost entirely with youngest or younger siblings.

Pp here. I guess it makes sense that same birth order people tend to gravitate towards one another then. I’ve noticed the same with my two DCs. But interestingly, both DC’s best friends are only children.

Interesting! I’m a youngest but my close friends a mix of youngests, eldests, and onlies (few families with more than two kids so I don’t know many middles).

Random person: I have issues with ADHD people making messes.
Moron: You’re the common denominator.

Random person: My unathletic kid is being bullied.
Moron: Your kid is the common denominator.

Random person: I’m noticing birth order traits.
Moron: You’re the common denominator.

Sweetie, go tell your mom that you need to take your meds and then take a nap. When you wake up you'll feel better.
