Not a middle child either.

I would say that you count as a youngest child, really. You ARE the youngest boy, and the ninth of ten kids.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Why did you feel the need to respond then?

If I didn't express how little I cared, how would you ever know? :o

I quickly realised I'd never catch up on my sister, nor did I ever really want to. Maybe because of...

"If first child is "good," second may become "bad." Develops abilities first child doesn't exhibit. If first child successful, may feel uncertain of self and abilities."

I'm lazy, she's ambitious. Omg! The internet is right!

Who said that you should or thinks you would?

All right, stop it. Don't make me stop this car and come back there!

You folks with deceased sibs: what did they die of?
In my case: she basically died due to medical malpractice.  When she was being born there was something wrong with her lungs/breathing but whatever the OBGYN did, aside from misdiagnosing the problem, severely damaged her heart and she died 14 months later having never left the NICU.  My parents won a major malpractice suit against Albert Einstein Medical Center which got a bit of news coverage at the time, mainly beause their attorney is Arlen Specter's son Shanin.

My (half-)sister is almost 16 years younger, that makes me both oldest and only child I guess.
