Are you the youngest, oldest, or middle child? Or are you an only child?

[Junebugsy94]

I have one younger sister though at times I feel she's the older one as she gives me good advice and helps me out

I'm also the youngest of 5 and the only girl in my family (besides my mom). It feels awful.

I am the oldest, the middle, the youngest and the only child.
I'm my father's only child. I have a younger half brother from my mother wich makes me the oldest of my mother's children. With my step siblings I'm stuck in the middle with my step brother since we are 4, wich makes me one of the youngest and the middle at the same time.

Oldest, but I never see the others.

Don't know where they even are.

I'm a middle child and an oldest child! I'm my dad's oldest and my mum's middle child. I have a younger sister and an older brother.

I've always felt like more of an oldest sibling though, since my brother moved out when I was 5. I do get on with my brother better than I get on with my sister, but my sister is hard to get along with in general.

my parents never put any pressure on me to be responsible for my younger sister so I've avoided the curse of being an older sister forced to parent their younger sibling. I'd actually say I'm a rather lazy, irresponsible person.

Just curious on where you fall in this, and what is your experience like?

I'm the youngest of 4 in my family. It's nice having older siblings, but I constantly feel like I have too high expectations since all of them want to pursue something great and I've just been sitting here drawing one bad sketch per week and the rest of my time is spent being lazy. For some reason, I never really have had any attention placed on me. It was all placed on my sisters because of their concerts they performed in. Also, being bossed around constantly is never fun. I'm always the one who has to do the smallest favors for people (for example turning up the volume on the TV), and it's such a big pet peeve of mine because I'm asked the same favors at least 5 times a day. Sometimes I wish I were born sooner so I could boss my friends and family around and have some power lol.

I'm the youngest out of two and the only one in university. I've been told it's up to me to get the family out of poverty, haha, jesus crust. I'm also going to be the only one other than my dad who can drive, so taxi in other words. But i'm ok with all of that, I'm working towards my degree (two months to go!) and my driving lessons after lockdown. It's tough during these times to get around and to live in "normality" but we have to do what we have to do, right?

I'm the youngest of 2 siblings. Luckily my sister is only 2 years older than me, so now we get on well most of the time!

I am the youngest of 2. My older brother has autism likely more severe than the average person who is autistic so growing up I haven’t really felt like a younger sibling.

I’ve often been the one helping to look after him when I can since he can’t be left unsupervised. Plus my parents made the hard decision to place him in a foster home at a young age so he’s only really been in my life approx every other weekend (Fri-Sun) ever since I can remember.

So often when he was at home I left like the older sibling despite being 3 years younger and when he wasn’t home I felt like an only child.

It’s a bit complicated to explain and is a bummer in many ways but it’s how it is. I’m just thankful he’s still a part of my life in some way even if it isn’t in the way we all hoped.

 

[duckykate]

im the oldest and i haaaate it but at least i have the bigger bedroom lmao

 

[Bulbadragon]

I'm an only child. I loved being the only child growing up, but now as an adult it's kind of lonely? Like, I won't have anybody to help me take care of my parents when they get old, and I will never have that sibling relationship with anyone. I also might not ever have nieces and nephews, as my fiance's only sibling is and will remain child-free. I do think I'm closer with my parents as a result though.

Personally, my view of being an only child as an adult has made me decide that I'll have 2 or 3 kids if possible. I think that while being an only child is great as a kid, it's harder as an adult.

im the youngest, middle, oldest, & only child

 

[tiffanistarr]

I'm the youngest but only by a couple years so we were always pretty close in age and had a lot of the same friend groups. I don't mind it, I think it would have been weird to be an only child and I wouldn't have my nephew so I wouldn't trade it in for anything.

My mom was an only child and it was so weird and lonely not having very many cousins to spend time with because they were all my moms cousins and her age, so at the family dinners the kid table would have consisted of me just me and my sister.

 

[Princess Mipha]

I have one older brother, so I'm the youngest child.
I'm totally okay with it! This way I was able to look cool talking about my big brother, lol

 

[Shawna]

Oldest.

I have one sibling, a younger brother.

 

[Che5hire Cat]

I have a twin brother and being called the "younger one", simply because I got born some minutes later after him. :') He sometimes jokes about it that he can do more than me because "older sibling with more rights", but we both got treated equally by our parents. We both also get along quite well and share almost the same interests. I'm glad to have him.

 

[mermaidshelf]

I'm the oldest of 2 but I get along great with my younger brother. I think because I thought of myself as his "mom" because my mom was working late hours + going to school and my dad wasn't around much so I would take care of him. I think the most important thing is that that we're both thoughtful of each other's feelings and needs and for the most part, we both selfless people, sometimes to a fault. We never fought as children. We did fight occasionally as adults but I know he always has my back and I have his. It helps that we share similar viewpoints, even if our personalities are pretty different.

Oldest of 3
Sister is 6, brother is 4
Because of the pandemic, while I have my online friends and my several activities, all they have is each other and me. With my sister being the 2nd oldest, she follows me around quite a bit and copies stuff I do, and I worry that she's picking up my stutter as well. Whenever my parents tell her off, I'm always the one she goes to. In order to get along with me more, she's trying to pick up some of my hobbies and learn the games I play. She already has more reactions than I do on NH (and is constantly trying to siphon my bells), and she tags along with whatever Roblox game I'm in.
I can't say a lot about my brother yet because he mostly does his own thing and doesn't talk much, and I don't spend as much time with him, but they're both very energetic and they're definitely a handful, but I wouldn't trade them for the world. And knowing that I'm leaving for college in just over a year is making me nervous, because while I have a lot of interests to take care of, friends to keep up with, schoolwork to plow through, they both keep asking me to play with them (usually, I want to but I just can't). And I don't have much time left with them until I'm gone. And my parents keep telling me that these are the most important years that will build the foundation to our relationships as we grow, so I'm trying my best to be a good big brother.

It's times like this where I wish there were more hours in a day.

[TheRevienne]

I am sadly an only child. I'd have loved siblings, and my dad wanted more kids, but my mum said no unfortunately so that was that :'D
