[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s birth order dynamics, hasn’t that been debunked anyway?

I will say if you have twins you notice the difference in personalities right away that may not have been as obvious without another baby the same age in the same home. Those different personalities didn’t change when they became toddlers or kids. Same personalities from babyhood pushing 10 years.[/quote]

If this person is saying she has twins, it’s interesting to read. I have the same question as OP. My older kid is so different (demanding, difficult, persistent, requires extra attention and care, needy, easily upset) than my easygoing second child. One of my friends whose opinion I trust overall says it’s just birth order dynamics (second child had to adapt to not having parent’s 100 percent attention and time from birth whereas the older child extra few years of that 100 percent at a crucial psych developmental age). But I am skeptical that it’s birth order, it feels like it’s just the differences between their born temperaments. [/quote]
