For many years, people have argued which child in the birth order benefits most from his or her position. Would it be first-born, where the child would have to share possessions with other siblings, and if anyone gets into trouble, it is all on the first-born’s shoulders because he or she usually responsible for everything? Would it be middle-born, where the child never gets the parents all to him or herself and are continually sandwiched in the family? Or would the child rather be the last-born child? ... In addition, if someone were to ask my older, middle-born brother, James, what order he would have preferred to be born, he too would have said being born last. And when people ask me if I like the fact that I’m the youngest child in the family, I look at them as if they’re crazy, give a big smile, and say without a doubt, I am! Last-born children opposed to middle and last-born receive the best perks such as: pampering, more freedom, vacations, experiences, competitiveness, and attention because the child is the baby and his or her siblings have already grown up. ... When the youngest child wanted a favor, they were certain get it.
