i am not sure i agree that it plays a huge part, but everything in a persons life plays some part of who they are and who they are constantly becomming




i do not remember hearing any negitive judgemental comments or jokes ... so that leads me to believe that they are cool with it

1. What do your parents do for a living?

Father used to be a teacher and then a writer. Mother has passed away, but worked in a bank and then raised a shit load of kids.

2. Are they still together? If so, how many years have they been married?

No.

3. How many siblings do you have? Brothers or sisters? What are the age differences?

8 (9 of us including me)

I have 3 younger brothers, 2 older half-brothers and 1 older half-sister on my mum's side, and 1 older half brother and 1 older half-sister on my dad's side. So there are 9 of us all together. For most of my childhood, 7 of us (bar my dad's 2 older kids) lived in the same house, so I naturally consider them to be 'full' brothers and sister, if you like. The other 2 i'm not as close to.

Age difference. Well, oldest is 40 and youngest is 22.

4. Where do you rank in birth-order (youngest, oldest, middle child)? Do you think this has had anything to do with the way you've "turned out"?

eldest of 4, but in the middle of 9. Dunno.

5. What do your siblings do? What is your relationship like with them?

Fuck, where do i start.

'Full brothers' - one is a teacher in China, one is a zoologist currently training to join the RSPCA, one works as a contact point/support for benefits claimants in the UK.

Elder half-sisters: one is a psychologist, and one is a housewife, or 'homemaker', or whatever you call it in a different country.

Elder half-brothers: one is an engineer who works in new advances in microchip technology for a well-known corporation, one is a baking consultant in Australia, and one is a fucked-up junkie.

we're an extremely close family, bar that i don't see too much of my half brother and sister on my dad's side.

6. We seem to have a fair number of gay Orgers. If you are gay, has this had any effect on your relationship with anyone in your immediate family? Are any of your immediate family members gay?

n/a

7. Anything especially interesting in your family tree?

i could go on forever, but i've already taken up shit loads of space just with my immediate family.

PREDOMINANT said:

What do you consider to be the middle child "signs" you have?

1. What do your parents do for a living?
ummm... My dad works for a company that has something to do with printing systems. He's worked there for almost 30 years and I really have no idea what he does. My mom works for a company that makes gears and gearboxes for airplanes. I don't know much about what she does either. We don't talk about work.

2. Are they still together? If so, how many years have they been married?
yes, 36 years

3. How many siblings do you have? Brothers or sisters? What are the age differences?
one brother, 5 years older than me

4. Where do you rank in birth-order (youngest, oldest, middle child)? Do you think this has had anything to do with the way you've "turned out"?
i am the youngest, but with the age difference I'm probably closer to the 'only child' syndrome. Either way, I think most of that is a bunch of BS.

5. What do your siblings do? What is your relationship like with them?
I don't really know what my brother does. We fought viciously as children, both yelling and screaming as well as punches and kicks (and wrestling and pinching and hair pulling, etc.). We 'get along' ok these days as in we don't fight like we did when we were kids, but I don't really like him much as a person. He's not someone I'd choose to socialize with if he weren't my brother. I adore his children, though.

6. We seem to have a fair number of gay Orgers. If you are gay, has this had any effect on your relationship with anyone in your immediate family? Are any of your immediate family members gay? I'm not gay, but I have an aunt who I suspect is. She's never come out, though.

7. Anything especially interesting in your family tree?
My great, great, great grandfather settled the town of Floodwood, Minnesota. (whoop-te-doo) Supposedly, my father is 100% Finnish and my mother is 100% German. Which is odd in these days in the US as nearly everyone is quite a mix.

Ace said:

Competitive and attention seeking, relatively succesfull.

If I fit the "type" because i am a second (middle) child or if It's just a coincidence I dunno. But I apparently fit the profile.

1. What do your parents do for a living? My father owns his own business.

2. Are they still together? If so, how many years have they been married? Yes and no, I suppose. My mother died when I was eleven, so, I suppose that comes in the whole death parted them bit. If she were still living, they would've been married 32 years this year.

3. How many siblings do you have? Brothers or sisters? What are the age differences? I have one brother who is 12 years older than me.

4. Where do you rank in birth-order (youngest, oldest, middle child)? Do you think this has had anything to do with the way you've "turned out"? The youngest of two. I think it had a lot to do. Rather than have a slightly older sibling, I had more of a third parent through most of my childhood.

5. What do your siblings do? What is your relationship like with them? My brother and I are the best of friends, really. We have our moments like any family members, but our arguments never last very long and then we're laughing about it. My brother works for an insurance company presently.

6. We seem to have a fair number of gay Orgers. If you are gay, has this had any effect on your relationship with anyone in your immediate family? Are any of your immediate family members gay? I'm straight as an arrow. But if I were a lesbian, my dad's pretty cool. He'd have more of a problem if I brought home someone of a different skin-color than if I brought home another woman, I think. Which I guess isn't very nice all the same. But, we're southerners yet. No one in my immediate family is gay.

7. Anything especially interesting in your family tree? Not that I can think of.

5. What do your siblings do? What is your relationship like with them?
My Brother is a Sargent at a maximum security Prison in Massachusetts. We are very close. Of course we fought as kids but...as we got older and our parents divorced I think we latched on to each other. He was always my protector after that. I'm very proud of him...he's a GREAT guy.

6. We seem to have a fair number of gay Orgers. If you are gay, has this had any effect on your relationship with anyone in your immediate family? Are any of your immediate family members gay?
no gay family members.

5. What do your siblings do? What is your relationship like with them?
My brothers are best friends. They both work at a paint/wall covering store and they see each other every single day. As I'm the only girl, I'm slighted a lot, but when we do hang out - we always have a good time and get along smashingly.
