Both I and the Ex were first borns, and it ended badly because of interference from her "friends" and family. So I am going to have to go with enviroment over birth order.

I read a study online that said that First Born children normally try to be the best at whatever they do and impress everyone around them. Second born children will normally be wild and act out so as to steal attention away from the first. Third born and later are normally more laid back and care free. That is just a tidbit of information I have.

It seems the last born in my family, regardless of what number they may be, never get their life together. I'm the first born of four, my wife is an only child. It seems only children are more self-centered, but this is only from my expereince. My daughter (who is soon to be 11) just went from an only child to being a first born (her mum just had a baby - not mine). This is interesting, because there's roughly the same age gap between her and her new sister and me and my brother, the 22 year-old that still lives at home and has never had any other job aside from the one day a week he works at the newspaper with our mum.

My older brother (first) married a middle-of-three-sisters girl. They quibble and vent but have never had a particularly bumpy road.
I (youngest of 2) married a youngest-of-two girl, not a problem in 4+ yrs. Then again, she is 8yrs older than me; I think age difference plays a bigger role with my case than birth order.

I've dated all within all the ranges of old and youngest. I don't know if I can make a fair assessment on the basis of order of birth. I've dated girls who were the oldest in their family but still act like they want to be the youngest and younger ones who were the most responsible in their family. I say it really based on their family environment and what kind of personality they have.

I'm an only as well. My wife is a youngest. We get along fine most of the time, but have an occasional flare up, followed by... yeah, that's classified. Quote:

I say all that to say that it is far from cut and dry. Each kid reacts differently to their environment, so there is no definite answer to the OP. There are generaly personality guidelines for birth order, but nothing definitive. Last edited by thunderdan19; 06-25-2010 at 12:36 PM.. |

Me too, and most relationships I've had tend to be destructive. Usually from being cheated on, or a girl thinking I'm too much of a geek and not as dangerous or too nice for them.

Generally speaking, the oldest child tends to be the most "responsible" and, occasionally, uptight one.
This is doubly so if the eldest child is a female. She often ends up having to take care of her younger siblings. Parents already have experience when #2, #3, etc. comes along so they parent those children with a more relaxed style. The youngest child is often the spoiled one and the one that gets the most attention from the parents and are allowed to get away with more than their older siblings were. They often have the most behavior problems because they get overindulged. This is doubly so if the youngest child is a male. If you have a family with two or three daughters and one son and the son is the youngest child, that child is almost guaranteed to be spoiled rotten and a holy terror. Males, generally speaking, just get treated better than females. It is sad but true. Middle children can go either way. Often they get lost in the shuffle and are the "quiet" ones. Usually the oldest and the youngest get the most attention. Only children tend to be self-centered and loners, for obvious reasons. As far as their relationship with their parents go, the only child has a unique relationship because they are both the "good" kid and the "bad" kid at the same time. They get all the pressure that the oldest child gets but they get all the indulgences the youngest child gets as well. Obviously, there are lots of exceptions to these generalities but they're true often enough to be relatively common. And don't even get me started on how parent/child relationships are affected when mom and dad have different children from different relationships. I'm a therapist and a lot of my patients over the years have had significant unresolved emotional problems because mom and dad broke up and then mom/dad had other kids with other people and treated those kids better than they treated them.
