Well I guess i go against the grain cuz Im the oldest of 3 girls & am definately the wild one who never follows the "rules". Ed is the youngest of 4 kids along with his identical twin brother who is older then him by a few minutes & yes he is definately the wildest & craziest of them all!! jess
Matt is the 2nd of 4 and has had his wild days. He's usually keeping me in line so he's the responsible one out of the two of us. I'm the 2nd of 3 and the wild child of us....my sisters are pretty boring.
Jess, I am like you...I am the "firstborn" personality (first girl and 1st of the second group of kids in my family....long story). Anyway, the thing I wanted to say was to you, if you are repressed (in a religious environment) as I was, then that is probably why you broke out of that as an adult. I know that is why I am the way I am right now! :mnm: To me, that makes sense. I am #4 of 7, my brother above me is 6 years older (and according to Birth Order Research) that makes me a 'functioning' firstborn...The brother below is 2 years younger. In my day to day life - I am a very responsible and cautious personality - but when I am 'in vacation/nightlife mode' and taking a break away from that day to day life, I don't act like the typical firstborn either. Jeff - is #1 of 2 and he keeps me in line when he needs to:huh: It's a tough job....but someone needs to do it! I did a project in college about Birth order...I LOVE IT! :read: Probably because I have so many siblings..... ~Jill~
