If you have any doubt about the effects of birth order just look at the family photo album. The Firstborn has the majority of the pictures in the album. The further you go down the birth order numbers the less pictures. The fourth child, the true baby in the family, is lucky to get one for a keepsake.
Family functions later in lifeswhen all the children are now adults shows the same relationship between all the children no matter how successful any of them have become. You just take your place in the family order forever.
This is much like high school reunions. No matter how many years have passed you still hang out with your old friends and do not make any new ones. The same groups in high school still exclude those that do not fit in.
I am Dr. Robert Hurst author of Life’s Fingerprint: How Birth Order Affects Your Path Throughout Life. I am an Orthodontist and have been observing my patients for over 50 years seeing how their birth orders affected their lives.
