What child are you?

[Smithy]

Are you the only child, youngest, oldest or middle child?

I am the middle child I have 1 brother and 1 sister, brother is the oldest by 5 years and my sister is 2 years younger than me.

I'm the middle child.

I am an only child. My mom waited through the Great Depression and WW2 before she had me, because she didn’t think it was a safe time for someone to be having a child, but then she was almost 40 when I was born. She and I both almost died, but that is another story.

I'm the oldest with 4 younger siblings, 2 were brothers born in early 1950s, other 2 were what mama called 'change of life kids, both born in 1966.One in Jan. other in Dec.

Another only child here. I've tried to imagine what it would have been like growing up with siblings. In my father's family all the kids got along really well. In my mother's family, not so much---very competitive. And when the parents are near the end of life, I've seen it get ugly. It's a gamble I wouldn't have been willing to take, knowing what I know now.

I was the Rented Child. That was my Dad's joke after all of my Mom's friends thought I was adopted because she never looked pregnant. My birth certificate said I was not, and so did my parents. But I have often wondered about it. But now I have out lived them all, so there's no was of knowing for sure. My Dad always joked about being my Rented Dad.

So naturally, when I met Cindy and she had three young kids and we became a family, I became their Rented Dad.

I had 3 young kids when I met Jake, they were 7, 8 and almost 10.

What happened to yall.
Mama had two kids when she was 40 in 1966 when I was 16, [ or lets say we had 2 kids since I had to help raise them ] in 1966, one in January and another in December. We called them change of life kids.
