All my siblings have B blood group & I think I must've been the genetic empty shakings of the bag being the youngest cuz I'm group O. Even my parents aren't O blood group. Think I must be the milkman's!

That's he only way to explain it I don't think you can get an O unless both parents are Os - not that I no know anything I never took biology

Yes, two type B parents can have a type O child. I believe there is a 25% chance they will have a type O child. Genetically, you inherit two genes, one from your mother, one from your father. It sounds as though SometimesIwonder parents had both inherited a B gene and an O gene and Sometimes ended up with two O genes from the parents. Whereas the siblings could have ended up with 2 B genes, or a B gene and an O gene. There is a 25% chance one of the siblings had the 2 B genes and a 50% chance the siblings ended up with a B and an O gene.

SometimesIwonder, is lucky to not have inherited BO.

Ha ha! That was exactly my reaction when I found out I was different. Mum is A-, Dad was B+ but the nurse explained mine comes from a grandparent who must have been O. My Dad has siblings t+hat are O- same as me so that explains where I got it. I hope!

Actually, you got it from your parents.

Your parents had the possibility of having a Type A, B, AB, or O child, (+ or -).

Need you ask?

LOL!! Just saw ur comment! No, thank God!! It's very interesting stuff. How cool my folks could have borne the whole gamut of blood groups! Never thought of it that way before.

I'm the first person in my family to move out of my parent's home, move into an apartment, and I'm not married.

That's a big thing in my family.

Hmm, let's see:

1. I'm the gay one

2. I'm the only grandchild who graduated college

3. I'm the only one who can draw/sketch

I'm gay, I don't know of any other gay family members and I have a rather large extended but small immediate family. I only have one brother. In 7 years I plan on being my family's only doctor.

I'm the only one that minds my own business and doesn't talk SHIT!

I'm totally, totally different to my siblings and parents. People are regularly surprised that I am the person I am with all the madness I grew up with.

First of all, i'm the only one without a criminal record. There are a million other things that make me stand out from my family. But that's the biggest.

Let's see, a long-haired thirty-something anarchist communist living alone in his top floor apartment with his collection of vintage keyboards and books on obsolete brands of psychology... nope, can't see anything that would really set me apart. Oh yeah, I am a male that can fix his own dinner. Does that count?

I forgot to mention that I'm the only one in my family that is not a Christian (as defined by them). I'm the only one with leanings towards Eastern philosophies (Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism). Of course, according to my family, I will be going to hell for turning my back on "God". But they, in their child abusing ways, are going to heaven. I'm perfectly fine with that, since I won't have to be around them in the afterlife either.

I'm the quiet one

Gotta watch out for those!

If we're talking about under my roof

My hair is wavy/curly and the others have straight hair

I'm a bit paler than the others in skin tone (I think this and the hair come from my dad's side of the family)

I get the most depressed though we can all get moody

Even though we are all educated, I have a degree

I used to dance

I can't settle down and concentrate when it comes to reading or praying

I'm bipolar and sometimes having too much fun is me being manic

Now if we're talking about relatives, I hate drama and attention seeking and sometimes get caught in the middle of it without meaning to.

Actually, I have a sister and an auntie

I am the only adopted one, and some of the family like cousins, Uncles, Aunts don't even realize my parents adopted me, they think their only child is my sister who is their bio child.

I sing and mind my business
