Birth order: Anything to it?
Not from any sort of scientific standpoint- just from your personal observations and experiences.
As a kid, I suspected that my parents tolerated much less out of me, than they did from their Golden Boy or Sweet Baby. As I grew into adolescence it became obvious...yes, indeed. I was in the middle and I was Trouble (aka The Villain).
I actually enjoy this role as an adult, since it gives me the freedom to speak my mind with barely more than a disapproving look much of the time. When you're the Villain, so it's to be expected...it's actually kind of liberating.
If asked, my mother will tell me this middle child bullshit is all in my mind, of course.
But, come on...what else is she gonna say?
