I'm an only child, and desperately wish I weren't. In my opinion I missed out on so much, learning about sharing, cooperation, compromise, when I was growing up. And now as an only with an aging parent, I wish I had someone to share the burden with.
I'm the older - I have a sister who is 3 1/2 years younger than I am.
My DH is the 3rd child - he has one older brother who is 8 years older than he is, one older brother who is 5 years older than he is, & one brother who is 8 years younger than he is. Due to the dynamic of his family & the "age-spread" of the 4 brothers, his personality is a mixture of the typical older, middle, & younger personalities.
As the older sister, I am used to "taking the lead" in my family & for my parents to see me as the "responsible" one or the one on which they depend. He, on the other hand, is used to his oldest brother taking the lead in his family, & his parents see his oldest brother as the leader. So, in DH's family, it's been an adjustment for me to take on the "younger" sibling role since I'm married to a younger sibling, if that makes sense.
