I personally care about myth because of the fact that I have one older brother and one younger sister. That makes me smack dab in the middle and, supposedly, the poor neglected middle child that doesn’t quite belong to the family. Perhaps if I wasn’t the middle child I wouldn’t care as much. I would take my intelligent role as the eldest or my care free lovable spirit as the baby and run with it.
When I first picked the topic I figured that it would be easy seeing as my family has three children and it would be simple to compare all my findings to each of our personalities. Once I began to research the myth it was easy to see that either my family is just an exception to the myth or the myth is simply that, a myth.
When I told my brother and sister what I was researching and what the myth says about them, they got smiles on their faces, hearing all about their good traits. But like I said before, it’s easier to accept being smart or lovable rather than the misfit. So what I hope to find is basically something to wipe those smiles off their faces. I will explore the myth tirelessly until I find evidence that birth order plays no role in the personalities that each child has.
