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.
