My main idea about this topic is that middle children understand other middle children better, they have a better relationship and sometimes they have a higher percentage of getting marry because they have similar feelings for each other like the need of affection. Pamela withers said, middle children often marry others middle children because they both aren't so aggressive and they desire affection.

    the article written by Lucille K Forer, about birth order was some what accurate with my case because it defines the roles and behaviors from each category oldest, middle, youngest and only child.

in my case it describes part of my behavior as a oldest child i tent to over protect or act in a way that makes me look like if i was his parents i often warned my younger brother of any situation i had been so that i can help him avoid those problems.

just like the article said been parental is good because it represents how much i care for my brother, but also is bad because i believe we are always struggling between becoming adults and learning about our responsibilities and the part where we are doing our parents job of raising and taking care of the children.

the order inside my family.

my family is made out of 4 people, my mom and dad, my younger brother and me. i'm 18 years old making me the oldest child and my brother is 15. my mom and dad since i'm the oldest they expect me to meet the expectations they have for me. for example the always want me to be on top of everything school, job and other things they think i'm responsible for at my age. my parents they don't expect much of my brother since he is young, they only want for him to finish high school with good grades but without that pressure unlike me. this is how i think birth order influences our families and life.
