I agree, second child gets the worst. Parent always compare and shit like that. I had anough of that trash. Good Post btw NOow I know how many kids to have
Weird, I have more characteristics of a "second child" than a "youngest child". I though the second child thing (with middle child syndrome added) only applies to family with 3 kids up... =_=b
Alot of things said about the first child is true, but some aren't. I am not controlling, and I don't try to gain attention. Anyways, good post.
Last Born Characteristics * Risk takers * Outgoing * Idea people * Creative * Sense of Humor * Feels everyone is more competent * Expects others to do things for them Make my sis do it -lol * Feels small and weaker Yeahhh...So cham -cry2 * May not be taken seriously in the family Hmph... * Gets their own way Most of the time ^^ * Competitive * If younger of three allies with oldest against middle * May be jealous of privileges older children have * May push older kids buttons by manipulation * Often the class clown
This is like those fortune teller Where everything they say is so broad... If you actually read the other ones... I found that they match with me too...
Think these are more or less the universal basic characteristics for families with kids. But yeah, most of them do apply to me as a first born. The only things that absolutely don't fit me are in bold: * Set Goals * High achievers * Confident * Born Leader (although I can be a born leader in the right situation) * Perfectionist * Responsible * Organized * Abide by the Rules * Determined * Detail Oriented * Center of attention * Feels they are always right (I AM always right!) * Controlling (*Cartman voice* "You WILL respect my authority!") * feel superior to other siblings * May feel unloved or rejected when second sibling comes along * Tries to gain attention through conformity, will misbehave if still rejected * Strives to Please and protect others * Intense and high maintenance * feel pressure to succeed from parents and self * Often told they are the role model for younger siblings * Sometimes substitute parent for younger siblings * May feel resentment if they think the younger siblings get off easy and less is expected of them So on basis of this I can conclude I'm someone who stays on the background but I'm pulling the strings to control.
lol im the 2nd child in the family. yes i have a complete different personality as my brother cause i was naughty in my teens and he was good but i aint no rebel
Wow this is a great thread, as most of these traits are similair to my situation. I am the first born child and is constantly being pressured to succeed from parent. Man this is so true......
i agree. i reckon its pretty true either so ill only have 1 child when i get married. i wouldnt want no 2nd child
