1. only child
2. the oldest child
3. one of the older siblings*
4. middle child
5. one of the youngest siblings*
6. the youngest child
7. currently changing rank

I was just wondering what are you guys birth rank in your family?
* #3 and #5 is for people in a family with more than 3 kids where "one of the older siblings" mean that you are between the oldest and the middle child and " one of the youngest siblings" mean you are between the middle child and the youngest. While choice #7 is for people who's rank are changing like your mom is havin a kid/kids, your divorced parents marrying to a person who have kids too.

Also, do you like being at the rank you are?

for me, im the oldest child in my family and i dont like being the oldest because there's too many responsibilities. but then there are some advantage being the oldest like the one who get to do things first before your younger siblings or getting the new clothes and your siblings get the secondhands.

wel i wish i was currently changing in rank...
BUT yes I am the youngest...and the second child of 2.
sigh...
I'd love a little sister or brother...
Infact I did have a twin....but he/she didn't make it....Mum didnt eat enough food for both of us to survive =(

TRUTH
04-23-2006, 04:35 AM
I'm the oldest!!....because there are only 2 of us!I like to be the oldest because....I don't know..anyway I can command my little brother to do what I want!Haha!I'm evil!:D

aww lil~jo thats sad.

:rolleyes: hmm come to think of it, i was an only child for the first two years of my life. but when my sisters came, i actually didn't mind. you know how lil kids are when they find out their mommy are gonna have a baby, the kids will be jealous of their new sister/brother. except i never was like those kind of kids, dont really mind havin siblings.

lil~jo
04-23-2006, 04:49 AM
zhy378
you sound so nice...you weren't jealous?
What I miss most is being able to be a big sister...
sigh...
yeah...mum was too sick, to eat...so only one could survive...and I happened to be the strongest...so I guess I'll see my twin in heaven..

I am the youngest in the family. I have only an elder brother.

I like to have an elder sister as well. Then, we may be able to share our things.

I am number 4 in my family.I have another younger sister.It's not so good to be one of the youngest as i need to listen to my other 3 siblings which i don't like.

04-23-2006, 06:39 AM
i have only one younger brother.
and thta makes me the oldest hahahaha..

not forgetting that i can be placed in the middle because i have two elder step brothers.

i'm the oldest kid at home with only one younger brother. i used to have another younger brother as the middle child, but he passed away when he was only 1 year old.

being the oldest kid means a lot of responsibilities, i even have to support my family's financial and pay for my brother's college fee. sometimes i just wish i had one older brother who could support me doing this job ...

I'm an only child. :oops: It sucks because I'm always stuck around adults and it's sometimes really lonely. I really wish I had an older brother.

04-23-2006, 08:55 AM
I'm the oldest~ I have a little brother who's 9 years younger. I wish I had a sibling closer to my age, cuz i can't really do much with my little brother...

My mom focuses a lot more attention on my brother, which is a good thing cuz i can get away with more. :D

I'm the eldest in a brood of five.
I have four unruly younger siblings and I'm not so happy about it.
Being the eldest, I have the most responsibilities among us all
and I'm liable for their mistakes as I'm supposed to be guiding them and supervising them
every now and then to the extent that I don't even have time for myself.
I get blamed whenever they do something wrong.
My father always finds fault in me for not doing my duty of teaching my siblings the right from the wrong.
I'm the eldest, most matured, most intelligent, most God-fearing, most conscientious,
most ambitious, most afraid of my parents (especially my father), yet the least favorite child in the family.

Aww Brent, take it easy as usual yeah? Don't go so hard on yourself and take things under your stride and I'm sure things will work out fine. Like you've told me before, "Take care of yourself, and God will take care of the rest." :happy: Those were your words. :wink2:

As for me, I'm the middle child.. and worse of all, I'm the only son. So the pressure is always there, you know, to carry the family name on etc etc. My parents were so worried about me not getting a girlfriend that they even tried to set me up with other girls before, once. And I didn't like it, and I made them know of the fact that I don't like it.

Thankfully, they backed off. :whistle: But I love my parents as much as they love me. :happy:

im the oldest with only one bro. its ok i guess... but there used to be expectations held of u for setting the example and doing everything rite the first time. but my parents are pretty cool coz they adapted to unexpected situations

its also bad when ur younger sib is smarter than u! and TALLER?! very much taller U__U every1 thinks he's older that way.. (hes a yr and a half younger than me)

lulu
04-23-2006, 02:47 PM
youngest in the family,
quite stressful somehow (don't ask me why)
and yeah...imma spoiled brat xD

:oops: arg, i got the same situation too, my younger sis (the middle child), she's the favorite among my family and relatives. not only that, she is more um hard-working and taller than me. i hate it when my parents are like " why cant you be more like your younger sister" and im thinking 'geez, u cant compare me to that way, u dont know how much i went through being the oldest'
bit envy the younger siblings cuz they dont get much strict rules as the oldest used to have because oldest already break or loosen up the rules for them like the age for them to go out, at friend's house, etc.

Oldest.

fun yet horrid at the same time. For one, I get to do more things than compared to my younger siblings.

2. I get blamed for stuff they do. T__T Not cool.

the oldest <- My choice.

Currently changing rank? Must be an accident.

04-24-2006, 10:51 AM
hmm..well..im an only child :D yay!
haha..i guess sometimes i wonder what it would be like to have brothers and sisters..if i could choose to have a sibling, i think it'd be wicked to have a twin brother :shy: haha...but i dont mind being the only child. its cool and i wouldnt have it any other way

porridge
04-24-2006, 08:11 PM
middle.
not too bad i guess..
just that my younger sister gets on my nerves (most of the time)
and my older brother loves ordering me around.
not forgetting the sickening dad and a naggy mom.

hahaha, but i love my family still.

jiali
04-24-2006, 08:20 PM
Same as lil jo, i'm the younger child out of 2. However, i always wished to have an older bro instead of an older sis. Wish to have the kind of bro who would take good care of me. haha..

luvdamonkeex3
04-25-2006, 12:39 AM
im the youngest. its good sumtimes buh most of the time it gets kinda annoying. my 2 older siblings are brothers so im the yongest and the only girl [minus my mom ^^] and they like to gang up on me and order me around... altho i do find some way to order my second brother around sumtimes hehe.

Prince_Jay
04-25-2006, 03:45 AM
The only child. I guess its pretty hard for me. It feels so lonely. I am afraid that I will turn into a selfish person. Does anyone share the same feeling as me?

j3nj4y
04-25-2006, 10:47 PM
wow, whateveryouwant, i've never heard anyone complementing on their older siblings before...

i'm the eldest too, in the beginning i really hated it! hated it sooooo much
cause i always hafta baby sit them and never get to go anywhere, it's just sad..... too much pain and agany *ok, i'm overexaggerating*
but you get the idea... it's really annoying

but after i went through my teens i started to realize that it's actually not that bad, and i've become who i am because of all the responsibility i hafta take on... i think it's worth it ( i actually wrote my senior thesis on this topic)
i enjoy the power and status i have in the family... and bossing others around is a PLUS! *high five lilmissvong* hehehe yes, older siblings are evil...

Sweet_Monkey
04-26-2006, 04:36 PM
hehe...I'm the oldest...We are two children in the family...me and my sister..I think the younger ones always gets more attention than the older ones...o.O

josh_yth
04-27-2006, 12:11 AM
hmm... i'm the oldest in my family, but i would really want to be the youngest in my family, since both my brother and sister get to go on vacation all the time with my aunt,while i have to stay home with my parent. Though, my parent always bought me new things before they'll get anything for my brother or sister.

Merriana
04-27-2006, 03:41 AM
i'm the middle child...
i have a younger sister and older sister...
it's a nice thing to be middle ones coz you can be bossy sometimes when you want to and you can be the lil sis too...:excited:

Enchantress_Mi
04-27-2006, 09:07 AM
yeah i'm the oldest in my family
well it jsut only me and my younger brother but sometimes i just hate being oldest coz i get blamed for everything -__- and i always have to baby sit my brother

zhy378
04-27-2006, 09:39 AM
hmm..the results make me wonder whether or not the oldest or the youngest is the most spoilest :shifty: like the oldest getting everything new but by the time youngest get stuff, it probably be new too because the other children have moved out so the parents focus more on the youngest...:glug:

zhoudaoyan
04-28-2006, 07:11 AM
I'm the youngest..
and i love it.
because of the simple fact that i love my siblings alot and they are so good to me..

05-29-2006, 02:04 PM
Wow. So many of us are the oldest child in the family.

I used to think I'm the only child of the family. (My parents are separated). That is, until my grandfather died, and my dad had to bring my to attend the funeral and there I met my step-sis and step-bro. They are 7 and 8 years younger than me respectively. My father kept us apart until I was 14 years of age.

I don't think that's a very wise decision because let's face it, sooner or later I'm going to have to meet them anyway. I know it's offensive to say so, but it was a bit cowardly of him.

05-29-2006, 04:15 PM

05-31-2006, 03:46 AM
i'm the oldest too... and HOW i hate being the eldest. Coz afterall, you will have to bear the responsibility for many many stuffs even with things related to your siblings. and no matter whose fault it actually was, it's definitely still your fault (-_-|||)

In my family theres three kids and I'm the middle child. I have one older sister and one younger sister. So my family consists of three girls~ I know theres some middle child syndrome where the middle kid feels left out of the family because the oldest child has resposibilities while the youngest child is the baby. But I actually like being the middle child because both my older and younger sister care about me alot :D

11-05-2006, 05:08 AM
ehh i dont like being the youngest. I would prefer being in the middle, because then you have someone to look up to and someone to look up to you. how cool would that be! And, of course, I'd like to have both of them be sisters

That's right:brows: , i think i'm so lucky that i'm the middle child, and both of them are sisters too, hehe. Being a middle child is great, i don't have too much resposibility like the oldest, and also i'm not considered being a baby like the youngest:dry:

I'm an only child..

I could be the oldest but my mum's womb was too weak for the other two brother/sister.. So She had miscarriages for both..

But it's good to be an only child though.. No sharing.. More attention from parents (which was good when I was young, but really bad when I turned a teen..) No "setting good example for younger siblings" and blah blah blah..

I am the oldest, sadly lol. Being the oldest means taking on a lot of responsibility for the younger ones. I have a younger brother and a younger sister, but they both behave themselves pretty well lol.

I'm the youngest in my family and yes, I do like it.

I have two elder siblings who looked after me when I was growing up and who still take great care of me today.

I like that the experiences of my sister and brother passed onto me so when it was my turn, I had a better handle of things. I was given some really good advice not just from my parents but from my siblings too.

It's true that the youngest is almost always very spoilt - I admit I am.

But my sis and bro used to tease me and pick on me a lot as a kid and they still do today. Family gatherings are loud, rowdy and well, fun.

I think my brother is suitable to be the oldest and my sis sits well in the middle and at the end of it all, I like being the youngest.

sigh** parents. you can never know what they do :rolleyes: teehee jks la~

anyways. i do like my rank~ its cool, you get to order your younger bro/sis around although there are quite a lot of responsibilities that i need to take on. other than that, im fine with that :laughing:

i'm the oldest and MAN IT SUCKS!!! i'd like to be the youngest for once. i only have one little brother and he's so annoying! he cusses at me even tho he's only 7, probably got it from his friends.

and of course, i don't cuss back. i don't cuss at all acually...

kwonsang26
03-31-2007, 03:33 PM
Being the oldest does have it's disadvantages though.For one,you are blamed for everything your younger siblings do.Another is when your parents expect you to be good at everything & be the best possible example for your siblings.In my family,all the hopes & dreams of a college student in the family was put on my shoulders.Not pretty when you don't meet all those expectations.:cry:

I do agree cryystal- that the younger ones will get more attention

I am the youngest child, number six.~

Actually, for me it was the opposite. Since my sister is older, she always got more attention from our parents. I suppose it is a cultural thing though, because a lot of my other friends are the same way. I sort of like my rank.

I rank #6 the Youngest in my family. My siblings and I are many years apart. There are 7 of us total. Let us say that 5 out of 6 of them are old enough to be my parents. My parents had me when they were in their 40's. Pretty late I know. But I am glad that they did. I sometimes feel like I am the oldest though.

I'm the oldest. I was an only child for almost 10 years. It's bad, since you can get so used to it and so spoiled. Plus, someone once thought that was my illegitimate son that I was caring for, but it was my brother! He's too old to be my child, anyways. I mean, I didn't start puberty when I was 9!

I'm the only child. It's nice to be the only child for only certain times, like no one snatches food with you, or toys. But on the otherhand, I dread very much to be the only child, my parents are protective, strict. Not the kind that the only child would be pampered. I've never been pampered. Haha.
