One of the middles. You?

maryjane31 says,

Middle. Is it true that the middle child is usually neurotic? I heard that from somewhere.

MrsPremise says,

Middle. The comic relief.

Sagacious says,

The youngest of three and, if you include my step-siblings, the youngest of eight. I'm 46 years old. A what point do I stop being the baby, fa God's sake?!

The middle, and the peacemaker.

marymc says,

My brother and I are both an only child.

DynamicDbytheC says,

Marymc, I love that. I am the oldest and a lot of the traits that go with it. My husband is also the oldest so we both think we are in charge, gets funny sometimes.

tonyglim says,

I am the oldest of three, all sons.

AQScott says,

My Mom had four under age five at one time...then, ten years later...me! (Yes, we all had the same Dad.) At age 7, I became an "only".

LeeLee485 says,

I'm the oldest of three, and I was always the mother hen. Of course, my dad used to tell me that I was born old.

Mourningdove says,

Youngest

accidentaltourist says,

Firstborn, becomes matriarch by unwanted default.

oopsalittle says,

I'm the eldest - kinda can relate to accidentaltourist comment.
My daughter calls me the 'fixer'

Believe says,

I, too, am the eldest. I begrudgingly became the matriarch of my family upon the death of my great aunt. Her and I were extremely similar, so I guess it was a natural progression. My mother and grandmother are both living, but unwilling to fill the role.

Katcan says,

The baby. Sag my Mom always said no matter how old I was I would always be the baby!!

Jujeebal says,

Oldest

favepeep says,

Oldest of four. Accidental tourist took the words right out of my mouth--matriarch by default @ age 32...

TawnyPort says,

Oldest of two, but we are the product of two middle children. That has allowed for numberous mind f***s through the years.

MsKillie says,

Oldest and I love being the boss!
