Birth Order And You: Are you the oldest, middle or youngest child? (Self-Counsel Reference)
While it may be comforting to find out that some of your less desirable characteristics were almost inevitable given your sex and birth order, it isn't helpful to blame your faults on that and give up trying to change.
