What is your birth order? firstborn, middle child, baby? And what were the benefits or drawbacks?

I was the first born, I have one younger sister. 

Drawbacks: I had to watch her during summer months, and was only one out of the two of us that was expected to do chores around the house. 
Benefits: I would ask her if she wanted to play « Cinderella » and when she would beg to be Cinderella, instead of the ugly step sister,  I would let her ´win’. Then I would order her around all day to do my chores, so I could sit back collecting my allowance while watching price is right.  

First born.
One sister - two and a half years younger.
Can't see any advantages or drawbacks.

Youngest.  One older brother, 18 months older than I.  No benefits or drawbacks, per say.   My dad wanted a girl, and he got one.  This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at January 16, 2019 7:51 PM MST

Forth of 8...first one died. Baby sister discovered last year. I was the first son, but I don't think that made any difference.

Haven't a clue.
No knowledge of who my parents were.
They threw me away...LOL...but true.

I'm an only child and there were few benefits, but a lot of drawbacks. Only another "only child" would understand.

I was the oldest.  I have a younger sister who is living ... a younger brother who died at birth.  My parents expected me to set a good example since my sister was a bit of a wild child.  Not sure if that was a benefit or not for me.  Even though she got a lot of attention for being "bad" .. it would have been nicer to get some attention for not getting into trouble too.

My older sister ran away at 15 and got married.  Had loads of boyfriends before, so I didn't date till I was almost 20!  lol

I'm the 5th of five.  Would have been 6th, but there was a miscarriage between 1 & 2.

I'm number three out of four. My twin died at birth. Advantages, none. Drawbacks, plenty from my other siblings as they got a free punching bag.

I was the sixth of six sons. Mom got tired of raising sons after #3 so she just quit. She thought she was a brilliant parent because she let the rest of us raise ourselves.

Only child.

Drawbacks---no one else to blame for anything.

Advantages---when I left, I didn't have to worry about saving any siblings 

i am the oldest

i was an only child for 11 years 

the benefit is that i can boss him around but the drawback is that he gets all the good stuff

Only child.

Drawbacks are you get lonely. But you become really close to your friends in the absence of siblings. You also get all the attention and are maybe a bit spoiled. :P

The forth of six kids..The eldest is a brother, then brother ,sister ,me ,sister and youngest brother...our eldest brothers took after our dad who really fussed over all us girls...that kind of set the pace for all the boys and we are all really close now....our youngest brother not wanting to miss out was pretty amazing to...he always tried to emulate his older brothers and now he's nearly as big as my dad...
There is never any animosity between any of us.....just endless pranks and ribbing...:)
