I don't get to say this often, but HOT DAMN, I'm right!
About two things: I found an article last week...a prominent study (Article on ScienceDaily.com...nifty little site, really) about how oldest siblings are treated much more harshly than the younger siblings by their parents as a way of setting an example to the younger kids. Mid and Lil Sis - I TOLD YOU that you got away with far more stuff than me! Damnit! Now I have PROOF! LOL.
And Psychology Today reports that "people have different "love languages", she explains. For some people, touch makes them feel loved; for others it's meaningful conversations, or how much time you spend together.....in good relationships, partners try to figure out each other's love language and speak it - even if it's different than their own. Good relationships are built on mutual caretaking".

Awwww poor you!
I'm the third child, the youngest daughter, the apple of my parents' eye (and I'm not refering to a crab apple either!).
To say I got away with murder is a slight understatement! Life was good back then! :)
Hmm, I am the youngest child. Most people just think my brother is younger - he's just immature. I was spoiled. My uncle use to take me shopping when I was upset. =-p
Oh yes - read this too, and sent it to my mom. I'm the oldest, and the only girl, to boot. That said, I actually had it pretty good, but my younger brothers - hell, they slid all the way, and are still sliding! Moved back home a couple of times, got their cars and rent paid for (I'm talking whole cars, not just payments). I'm definitely the "favorite" but probably because all those rules instilled the "Goody Two Shoes" Catholic girl mentality in me.
