SUBJECT: A first born among 5 babies.
I am the older child of only two, but not only are both my parents babies, but so was my maternal grandmother. I never knew my father's parents and my mother's father (the oldest of 7) passed away when I was an infant. Then I'm not sure how I managed it, but I married a baby.

As I grew up I found that birthorder played a large role in my nuclear family dynamics, not just those of my sister and myself. I find I tend to lead the group in most decision making, and even now my parents look to me, more than my sister, for advice.

LOL, it's finally coming into perspective why my husband, laughingly, calls me a control freak. I was born into the role of a leader and I don't let go!
