We are both second born and are the independent, adventurous and organised ones in our families.

We are both 1st born but I am the organiser -obviously, as I am the female- and he is the useless one -a fine example of a male-

i'm 1st of 4 and he's 2nd of 3


have to agree with anabella, woman are not as lazy as most men, plus i happen to be very bossy, pedantic and a control freak....so wouldn't matter if he was 1st or not...maybe

I'm firstborn to my mum but 4th for my dad, he was married before. The OH was 3rd of 3. I am definitely the organiser out of us.

OH & I are both 1st born, & we are took our 1st (& only!!) born with us (did try to leave him behind, but no takers!)

Although saying that, my younger sister does sometimes think she is the older sister - if that makes sense...

I'm 10th of 10 & hubby is 6th of 7. I thrive on chaos where he is much more orderly. If you saw my desk at work on any given day you would wonder how I get anything done but I think that comes from partly being a mother. Our brains change when we've had children to be able to cope with the different demands put on us.

Nope,
Im the second of three girls! Also the most adventurous and organiser and hoarder of us!

Hubby is youngest child of 4. He is super organised and always puts 110% into everything.

I'm the oldest, my OH is the youngest. I'm definitely more organised than he is. He's a better cook though
