Birth Order

Does birth order determine not only your place in your family but your personality too??

"First Borns are usually natural leaders and often high achievers. The majority of politicians, spokespersons and managing directors are first-borns. They frequently live with a sense of entitlement and even superiority. They are often either compliant nurturers/caregivers or aggressive movers and shakers. Both are in control; As a rule, first-borns are picky, precise people - they pay attention to detail - tend to be punctual, organized, and competent. They want to see things done right the first time. They don't like surprises. They are often moody and occasionally lack sensitivity. They can be intimidating, particularly by pushing people too hard or refusing to take no for an answer. Sometimes they can be a bit 'know-it-all', and often they are poor at delegating - largely because they don't trust other people as much as they trust themselves. They also tend to be bossy, perfectionists and overly-conscientious."

This is SO me.. The good and the bad.. Both my parents are first borns too and it fits them to a T.

Middle kids are said to be great negotiators and peacemakers, with laid-back attitudes and a love of socializing. As such, they're thought to be natural schmoozers and consensus builders when they grow up. They're the most likely to move far from home once they grow up, partly because they're seeking a clear identity after having spent their early years sandwiched between siblings. Some middle kids suffer from the firstborn's long shadow, and because of it, it's said, are prone to rebelliousness and competitiveness.

Jon is a middle child and so is my sister Chanel. I think some of this fits them but mostly I see Jon fitting in the first born category.

"Last-borns have the most experienced parents, of course. Experts say they're the least likely to be disciplined, perhaps because Mom and Dad are by then too laid-back --or worn down -- to freak over every infraction. Popular wisdom also has it that youngest kids are doted on, and because of it become adept at wrapping people around their little fingers and clowning to get attention. They tend to pick interests that are diametrically opposite to those of their older siblings. They're the risk takers, the adventurers, the people who are constantly trying to find something new and different to do."

The family baby! Do they have it the best or the worst?? Both Kelz and my sister Brooke are the babies and I can see this in both of them..

So what are you??
