[quote=Anonymous]i'm the oldest of three and the only girl. i never felt left out but I think that is because my parents worked really hard to make sure that they paid enough attention to/spent enough time with all of us...and I never felt left out by my brothers either, because, being the oldest, I could always assert myself and include myself in whatever they were doing if I wanted to. I think it's possible that each of my brothers at one time or another felt left out by me or by the other brother because we all went through phases where we wanted to do certain things that the 3rd sibling might not have wanted to do...but I seriously doubt any of us ever felt left out by my parents. I don't see why not having a fourth child would contribute to this, though? if anything, it seems the more kids you have, the greater likelihood for someone to get left out and I'm sure sometimes kids feel left out in every type of family (even as an only child it is possible) so I don't think the size of the family is the determining factor but rather the characteristics of the family members and the dynamics between them.[/quote]
