Jojo's Poll

Just putting Jojo's theory into poll format 'cause Missybelle said it and it sounded like a good idea.

I have an older sister. We both diagnosed with some form of depression. She has been a substance abuser for more than 20 years. I've been a food abuser off and on during the same time. What a lovely family photo we make

Hi Petunia!

I saw Daffodil and Rose on the board this morning and wondered where the rest of our bouquet was! Here you are!

HUGS!

I am not only the youngest, but the only codependent. My two older brothers haven't got a codie bone in their bodies.

Brothers. That may be the key word there, Ann. I don't think we need to take a poll to find out what percentage of us are girls.

I'm bi-polar on this one

Technically, I'm a youngest. But since I am one of two, and my sister is ten years older than I am...the birth order folks say that I also qualify as an only. I think that's for all the time I spent at home by myself after she moved out to go to college.
Peace,
Gabe

I am the oldest of three in my family. My younger bro and sis are as opposite from me as you can imagine. They are both close to 30 years old and my mother is still taking care of them like they were newborns. Its crazy, these family relationships.

I'm the youngest by 11 months, my mother would leave us out in the car while she'd go into the bar to drink. It's doggie doggie in both our lives, his pans out better sometime but the girls he with won't put up with my mother behavior.

I am the oldest ...my brother is 9 years younger.....But, I once heard that if there is more than 7 years between, it changes the birth order.?.? That would make me an only child and my brother too......hmmmmm?
Has anyone else heard that??
