I was an only child. There was a lot of pressure to be perfect and they never wanted me to be independent. But at least I didn’t have to share financial resources with someone growing up and I didn’t have to compete with anyone for attention, nor did I have a sibling to bully me and beat me up, so I guess it’s good to be an only child.

I was oldest of two in my adopted family, I had a brother 18 months younger. I hated being oldest, I got blamed for everything.

Of my siblings, I'm the oldest. My two sisters are only 2-3 years apart from me in age while my brothers are still quite young.

I am the oldest. I have one brother and he is 2 and 1/2 years younger than me. But he acts older and is more bitter to the world than I am.
I'm more child like now as an adult than I was as a kid and He has never really been in a kid. Growing up, we hated each other. Now, both of us in our 40s, we are more supportive of one another even though we don't get to see each other much. |

I'm the youngest in my immediate family. I think it was a pretty good position to have, but when my siblings were still living at home, they often blamed me for many of their misdeeds.

I'm an only child. I admit I think I was a bit spoiled but I liked it and I turned out okay.

I was born to a family where I was the only child, but when they were unable to support me anymore (mainly abuse, but also the state of their house cause concern to the council), I was past to a family where I was the eldest of 3.

I'm the youngest. It changed my position in the family as the caretaker of my parents.

I am a middle child, and bear all the classic hallmarks of one: am creative, and thoroughly non-conformist, and am the arbiter in a lot of arguments between other family members. I always had to play the peaceckeeper/ level-head/ sensible (without being controlling) one.
As the oldest girl in my family, and awful lot of responsibility was laid on my shoulders at a fairly young age. A LOT was expected of me, and perfection (that unattainable goal) was high on the list. I'm learning now how to shake off the weight of that last one. |

Oldest of four. I feel pressured to set an example still in my early forties.
