(does the happy dance)
Anyways, that aside... something interesting!
There are many studies on the firstborn propensity to success, and some important statistics back this up. In one Norwegian study of more than 1.5 million people, it was found firstborns have the highest income and education levels of all in the order line, regardless of family income levels.
Grose says this could be because firstborns are taught to read and write earlier, and socialise with adults from an early age - a high bar for a child to try to live up to.
But it's not all bad for the later borns. Another study suggests middle children are the most well adjusted, and Grose believes this is because, "they've learnt, from an early age, that they can't compete on an intelligence level with the elder child, or a cuteness level with the youngest, so they develop their own persona away from the family, which is why they find it easier to seek careers with friends and groups away from the home".
Middle children are more likely to live and work overseas, and have a laissez-faire attitude to family occasions, in case you're wondering why your middle child never turned up to Christmas lunch. Grose says there is another certainty with the middle child. "Whatever they choose to pursue, you can be guaranteed it will be in the completely opposite area to the child above them in line."
The youngest is the creative, unconventional, tantrum-throwing, rebel-charmer of the group, Grose says. Because they are the littlest, the youngest has to be charming and adaptable to survive. Often they have the least developed written and verbal skills but Grose says they often have more highly developed levels of emotional intelligence. The youngest is also the risk-taker, in contrast to the firstborn who is often plagued with perfectionism and unlikely to try less conservative ventures or areas that don't guarantee success.
