How might (or how has) your birth order affect your decisions on family dynamics when forming a family of your own. (ie: when to marry, how many children, when to have children, etc)?
Thank you!

I doubt if people actually give it much thought. Reproduction for most people is an emotional decision not a well planned out and logical one. And even when you do have it all planned out, nature has a way of throwing you curve balls.

I am the oldest and am the independent, responsible, caregiver. My sister is the younger, reckless, always trying to get attention child. Every family I know the birth order thing has been true. I have always wanted 2 children because of the fear of having a middle child with major issues and always having the feeling of being ignored. Now that we have two I really want one more. I am ready to accept the challenge. Rather than thinking of my current youngest as a middle I will tell her that she is special because she is both an older and a younger to her other siblings.

I think that being a middle child gave me a beter balance and sequrity. Unlike the majority of my siblings I don't seek or jockey for parents approval. I married in my twenties, had three kids by the age of 28 and now have moved into Grandma role, life is good!

It grow to be some thing to the end results of "oldest infants are bossy, have solid verbal skills, take issues heavily." Supposedly middles get alongside with each and every person, youngests are fairly irresponsible strange, very almost describes my siblings! a pair issues overlap, however the middle of them seem to greater healthful.

well i am the oldest and i go through everything first(dating, emotional stress, etc.) and sumtimes its just plain sucks, but i am more independant for it and realized in this world today nothing comes easy and you CANT depend on anybody, its either you get it done yourself or it dont get done. i am 13 and figured it all out just cuz i was basically raised by my grandparents and mom and dad were never married and broke up when i was 2. but in the end i am the caretaker of the family now and play a parent role for my two younger sisters.

That ones kinda hard to answer because I think it does affect me but then again it dont. I am the middle child of my mothers kids and last child of my fathers kids. So me being the youngest is great but the middle I have a brother thats really well known for everything he does like sports. So I always get asked "Why dont you act more like your brother???" It pisses me off!!!
So I guess being the middle child for me is kinda harder...

There are volumes written on this subject. But it is all negotiable.
