[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah but is she right? I'm the youngest sibling. I get dismissed all the time. When I'm right (which is frequently) I know my siblings think I'm a know-it-all and condescending... which is really just a matter of perception because their default perception of me is "larla doesn't know what she's doing or talking about.' If I were the oldest sibling, I'd be "experienced" and "mature." Kind of like confident, innovative women are "bossy" - but if they were men, they'd be thought of as leaders. [/quote] This is so true. Oldest children can just make a mild statement and everyone agrees with it and goes along with it. And it doesn’t seem bossy at all, they just accept it. Younger children have to assert their opinion more in order to get anyone to hear them and often they are dismissed. [/quote]
