Re: Birth order.
Thought about this with relation to my own family. I have two sons, the first is 5 yrs older than the second. He has just returned from 3 months away and after 5 days at home it's amazing the way the equilibrium of the family has changed.
He has reclaimed his bedroom which his brother had moved into - no fight over this , the second is a born peace-maker and everyone likes him -perfect 2nd child profile. The first is the leader, has had all the advantages is sure of himself, intelligent and thinks everything is his by right...
Quite an eye-opener, hadn't really noticed before how they relate to each other. They have never really fought over things but sometimes words fly. The second has had one advantage over his brother though -I have always been more lenient with him and things his brother first did at 17 he got to do at 14/15.
