This should apply to a lot of people with siblings

3 kids in my family I can confirm

Im confused because i was born first but im the middle kid. My older sister is adopted soooo..

I am the youngest and I can confirm this works until the age of 5. Then, the rules ESPECIALLY apply to you

Middle child of 3 brothers, can confirm

First child was the trial run.
Second was the proper attempt.
Third was the "...let's try again."

I make the rules but none of them seem to follow it. They did up to a certain age at least..

Anything the younger children do will be blamed in part on the older one.

Youngest, not quite true for my family. But true for one of my friends.

I'm the youngest and I'm the most trusted of 4

As a middle child I would this doesn't really apply to my childhood. We had rules because of the oldest and they certainly didn't make the rules. The youngest though that's pretty close to what they thought, not that it did them much good, they still got punished regularly.
