I'm ...This was a really thought-provoking post! I'm an only child, so I don't know anything about what it means to be a first-born. I think there are some similarities, but I never had any younger siblings to look after or to set an example for. It sounds like a lot of work!<br /><br />Good for you for taking Super P's feelings seriously! You are such a great mom. He may not have given you the reaction you were hoping for, but I know on some level he appreciates the time and effort you took to understand him. To me, that's parenting at its finest!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049821842193359313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010305964851899304.post-30552525473731139562013-04-15T12:21:13.975-04:002013-04-15T12:21:13.975-04:00That's the thing about birth order, isn't ...That's the thing about birth order, isn't it? Oldest is really more of a state of mind than where you are in the family. I have a feeling that Will would be an oldest, regardless. erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413720402653482251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010305964851899304.post-86394878240482052382013-04-15T10:41:51.116-04:002013-04-15T10:41:51.116-04:00Yeah, the whole birth-order thing never made any s...Yeah, the whole birth-order thing never made any sense to me, because although my sister was (is) 8 years older than me, she is developmentally disabled, and mentally ill, too. So I could do her math homework when she was in high school and I was still in elementary school. She resented my IQ, my social life (esp. my boyfriends), everything. I have to give her credit, though -- she always made a point of telling people I was her LITTLE sister.
