[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think about people’s birth order at all. I think this a very odd way to characterize your interactions with others. I don’t even know the birth order of most people unless they are typically close friends already — so I don’t have issues with them to start with.[/quote]
Same here. Plus I wouldn’t normally think youngest in large family gets accommodated. The youngers usually have to go along with whatever is already in place for the older kids.[/quote]

This.  I usually see the youngest as the most flexible.  They're the ones who are always being dragged along to the older kids' athletic games or performances and by the time they are old enough to play on a team themselves the older kids are off doing their own things independently.  It can be tough being the youngest (and I say this as the one who was the oldest kid of my family).[/quote]

They are often much funnier and laid back, as well. At least compared to first-borns, who have to deal with anxious, hand-wringing parenting by two people who have no idea what they’re doing, arriving green in each new phase.[/quote]
