if you were to have 3 kids: son, daughter, son, in that order, which one do you think would have the most success? least success? easiest to control? hardest to control? which one would have the most charactor? (keep in mind that the middle child is also the only daughter)

i ask this question because im wondering if the order of siblings affect their personality/behavior.

obviously i dont know for sure but in the order id say oldest rebels a little but not too much grows up very quickly and has kids early on. middle wants to do something different and be very successful at it because they like attension (im the middle) because they were never the first to do something or the baby and the youngest tends to hold back and act quite childish acting out to keep being the "baby" to get attension but eventually realises that they have to grow up

here goes my theory, the oldest is the most serious, the quickest to start life, or I guess the most driven, the middle is the rebel, has to break the rules the oldest didn't have time to break, but plays the role of politician, (he/she is the younger and older and needs to know both roles to manipulate scenarios) the youngest immature, but always trying to prove something, gaugeing success on the two older one. the middle is the lost wanderer, but sometimes I think would have the most potential, because has thought about it the most. I also think the youngest is the hardest to control because they have always had it the easiest, in my experience I got away with a lot more, because I was crafty my brother did not realize this and thus was always getting in trouble (standing on the shoulders of giants), that is all I have to say. I just reread that the daugher is the middle one, I am guessing that she got away with the most, but was easy to control, girls play the sides well and I am sure she was probably the favorite of the parents, and mabe utilmatly the most successful.

Birth order was highly publicized and studied many years ago. Unfortunately these studies have been inconlusive in predicting behavior. (There are too many other variables - household status, difference in ages, etc.)

However, if I had to take a stab at it I'd say:
most success - the oldest son (success may come later in life)

least success - the youngest son (too much competition & reliance on older siblings)

easiest to control - daughter (even though the middle child is the rebel, girls are easier to control than boys)

hardest to control - youngest son (jealous of older siblings)

most character - daughter (sandwiched between 2 boys, the girl's personality will be more dynamic)

Of course to really make this decision, you have to know the astrological signs of each individual - hee hee!

Being oldest does carry the "more responsible" role. The middle child can get away with a little more as the oldest. As far as control, it all depends on the individuals personality. Being the only daughter, it can go either way. She may have more freedom. On the other hand she might end up having to be the more responsible one. As far as having more character, it depends on how well each individual expresses themselves or doesn't for that matter.

The first born takes-on the most intense fears of both parents. The second child takes-on a reduced level of fear, and the third child would take-on the least.

The level of fear one has repressed within ones MIND influences ones personality structure, and by this, ones relationship to the world.

The first child, if male, will identify with the mother, the second child, a female, will identify with the father, and the third child, alas has no parent to identify with, and will be somewhat distant in terms of internal development. The third child may have less "need" for the family ties, and will likely be more inclined to leave the nest first, and perhaps for good, or extended periods of time.

The personality of the third child will also be much more subject to outside influences for development. But, as true for all children, the main influence on the development of personality is the individuals own Fate Karma from the individuals past lives.

The personality is a mixture of ones Fate Karma; the fears repressed within ones Negative Self-Image; past unfulfilled desires;
and tendencies developed as part of the individuals Apapsyche or [ones level of consciousness].

Peace

I think the oldest would have most success and be the easiest to control. I think the third would have least sucess and be the hardest to control and have the most character.
I'm from boy, boy, girl family. Oldest is most successful and easiest to control, middle has pretty much no personality and I was always the hardest to control. :)
