Reply To: oldest, middle, or youngest child?

I was an only until I was a teenager. I had little experience babysitting but got stuck with it a lot and resented it. The younger ones “got away with murder” because our parents were older – I was always like, I can’t believe you got away with that! I had The Fear (of doing the wrong thing and getting in trouble) and motivation to please my elders, that the younger ones didn’t quite develop. Now I’m a BT and the “black sheep”, LOL. It actually fits me well…
