I have a weird birth order. My father has had 4 children, of which I am the second girl and second oldest. However, I have never met my half-sister. So within my family unit growing up, for all intents and purposes I was the oldest. I have two younger brothers.
I'm the youngest daughter of a youngest daughter, too. Well, the only daughter. I've got one brother, 5 years older than me.
My mom, however, was the youngest of 6 (she has 3 brothers and 2 sisters), and my dad was the youngest of 3 (2 older sisters), so that makes me the absolute youngest cousin on both sides. :) At least one of my cousins on my father's side has a kid that's older than me.
I am the youngest of my biological family. 1 older brother and sister in that order. But we adopted my cousin, who is now the youngest of the family. so from oldest to youngest now (by how many years): Brother (6 years), Sister (3 years), Me, Brother (18 years)
My mom was the third youngest of 9 siblings. My dad was a middle child of 11 children.
Female oldest of four, of a female oldest of four. And I and each of my sisters are like the caricatures of my mother and her sisters, in birth order-- I'm just like my mother, but more so, and my oldest sister is just like my mother's oldest sister, but more so, and so forth.
Second boy of two. Both of my parents were only children. My SO is the youngest, with a gaggle of half-siblings, all 10+ years older than he. The coolest bit is that I share a birthday with my grandma's only younger sister (gramma was the second youngest of the 14 or so birthed by her mother).
