Isn't he cute?

Blood is thicker than water

Quote from Nat, "It's like having ready-made close friends spread across the globe...a real pick-up-me at the end of a long, long day." And when something bad happens to one of them, you get the weird feeling in the stomach and your heart would ache so much more than you ever expected. And despite the fact that you might not totally agree with the person, you would still pray for hope and wish for the best to happen.

Do you date a middle child?

... and find yourself being driven up the walls with the kind of decisions they make? According to the Wikipedia, Middleborn children have a diverse range of personalities. The habits of many middleborns are motivated by the fact that they have never been truly in the spotlight. The first-born always seems to be achieving and pioneering ahead (so true!), while the younger sibling is secure in his or her niche as the entertainer of the family (aka spoilt brat and in some extreme cases totally useless and incapable of making decisions for him/her self... but of course I want to think I am not like that). The middle born child may develop great social skills and have an easier time growing up with an other-centered point of view. The middle child knows what he or she is doing and tends to become very intelligent in their efforts to gain attention from siblings. Middle born children are usually quite talented, and their quest for perfection against their siblings can lead them to discover new and unlooked-for qualities, musically, academically, and theoretically. It has been suggested that middleborn children are more likely to be entrepreneurs. (if this was true, I would be really happy and perhaps my dream of becoming a DOMESTIC GODDESS will come true sooner). But then again, I am pretty sure my sister (a middle child herself), has got the most entrepreneur skills amongst the 3 of us. Karen E. Klein, a Los Angeles-based writer, suggested that a middleborn's innate skills in diplomacy plus their flexibility in ideas make them more susceptible to entrepreneurship. A first born's common feeling of a fear of losing the top position makes them more risk adverse. This makes first borns less likely to create a new venture.
