Getting to Know You - April 18

[Ann]

As a child, did you think your siblings (if you had any) were better treated than you, or about equal?

[Jyoung20]

The youngest was spoiled rotten and still is ...I was a middle child of 4 girls.

[Larry]

Definately better treated.....

[Don Wood]

I think my parents tried to be as equal as they could be, although my two older siblings definitely thought I got more attention. Don

Absolutely my older sister and younger brother were treated better (stomping my foot as I say this!)

I was the baby of 4 girls. I have to say I was a little more spoiled then they were! They pretty much never let me live that down.

I was the youngest--my older brother was my mother's favorite.

[Ry]

I had a sister that passed away when I was 7. She was the baby and died at 18 months. I don't remember her being favored-- just that she was a real handful- someone was always running after her.

Well I had 5 sisters and 3 brothers. I was in the middle. I felt left out a lot, because it was always the 4 oldest can do this, or the 4 youngest can do that. I have wonderful parents though, I am not complaining. I had a lot of competition. I was and still am the Black Sheep. What can you expect..I have a brother that is a priest and 2 sisters that are nuns. It is hard to compete with that.

I am the youngest, and the first to "do everything"...so I have been a bit spoiled, but only since I've become an adult! LOL I was the first married, had the first grandchild (on both sides of the family!), etc. My sister (who's the oldest of us three kids) was the next and complained to Mom that she got hand-me-down baby stuff from her YOUNGER sister! Growing up, though, I always thought my sister got spoiled...so I guess it's our brother in the middle who got left out!
