Birth Order/Sibling Dynamics

[Lacy Duckwing]

What's your birth order?

I'm in the complicated case. I'm the fourth child, but I'm treated as the oldest, as I'm the oldest child who is basically still at home, and even that's complicated. (I literally live next door to my Mom. I obviously didn't go too far from the nest, but also I was lucky to have the mobile home next to my Mom come available when I needed it.)

Are you the stereotypical first/middle/youngest/only child?

No stereotypes here, though my siblings view me as the 'favorite.'

Are your siblings typical first/middle/youngest children?

My siblings typical? No, nothing is really typical about them. But as far as that does go, my youngest sibling has had it the easiest (and is slightly spoiled compared to the olders), and my oldest would have had it the hardest.

Do you have a better relationship with one of them?

No...? Well, maybe with the youngest two.

Do you think your parents raised you all the exact same way?

No, though similarly. She (my Mom has been raising us all basically on her own), is always learning and studying stuff which impacts how she's raising us. The youngest siblings has gotten the benefits of her years of research.

What's your spouse's birth order and do you think it affects your relationship dynamic?

I don't have a spouse.

Do your kids follow the usual sibling order stereotypes?

I don't have kids either. (Though everyone thinks my youngest sister is mine whenever I go somewhere with just her, lol.)

Same! Ever since I was twelve people have assumed my siblings were my kids.
They don't even look like me

Oh my gosh, I think I'd go crazy
I can't get anything done if I have to share a space with someone and I can be sensitive to volume so I'd definitely be pulling my hair out

My brothers and sisters are laughing at the gif

I’m the oldest of two, with a six year gap in between. My parents definitely raised us differently.
I think we are rather stereotypical. I’m independent, she’s the baby.

I have issues with The Siblings being loud. I like to retreat to a nice quiet space without them. One of them moved his painting stuff to the living room so he has no excuse to bother.

Literally my worst nightmare
I have lived in a camper with my family, that was pretty rough but I mostly stayed outside and it was only for six months.

I never got my own room until I moved out at age 20. And that's a small room in a single wide trailer where you could sit against the bunk bed and touch the wall on the other side with your feet small.

That's also when I got my own room, but up until 13 I always had my own room. We moved to a really small house so nobody had their own room anymore.

That's a closet

I share a room with The Siblings but I have monopolized the good spots.
