author_by_nightOkay, I've done a little poll based on birth order, a "study" I'm doing, so to speak - you'll see a few of these.
Please note that when I say "peers", I do not mean it in the school sense, but in the age group sense.
Do comment on anything you'd like - that's what this is for!
[Poll #762095]

Date: 2006-07-05 02:31 am (UTC)For a few months it was just me and my natural sister, but then both my mom and my dad got remarried, and I got two younger stepsisters on each side. (thus remaining the oldest, but being older than more people, which I think makes a differance)
Then to make things even more confusing, I still see my stepbrothers a couple times a year, so I'll occassionally go back to being in the middle for short periods of time. (I still consider them my brothers, but I take the role of the oldest when they are gone)
My stepbrothers are twins who have very little on common aside from their looks, and have never done the "freaky twin thing".
I answered oldest to the first question. But I identify more with a middle child when I read stuff about birth order.

I did the poll, by the way. :) You seem to have forgotten 'Youngest' for the last question...
