[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To take a different perspective, I am one of four and alignments were/still are always shifting depending on the issue. Growing up I was closest with my brother who is two years younger, but we fought a lot - we're still close and we still fight. My brother who is six years younger is the most like me and we do stuff together as often as possible - he's like the best friend you don't see for months but then things fall back into place right where you left them. There is a large age difference between me and my sister - but we became close as adults and talk way more often than I talk to either of my brothers.

I don't think having four necessarily guarantees someone will not be left out. Even today, there are times when three of the four of us will agree and there is one outlier. But mostly we're a close-knit group, though each relationship is different.[/quote]

I am one of four as well - the oldest.  There were some teenage years where the middle two became quite cliquey and I think I would have been pretty miserable if I hadn't had my youngest sibling (8 years younger).  We are all four friends now.  But this is largely speculation on my part.[/quote]

I'm another one of four!  I'm the third.  Constantly shifting alliances, sometimes a pair, sometimes a trio, mean that someone always feels left out from time to time.  No big deal, and not  dependent on the number of children (though I suppose onlies don't have that particular problem).[/quote]
