Google looked at the top questions people ask about birth order. So, the oldest, youngest, and middle child. Here are the top three for each.
We'll start with oldest first . . .
1. Why is the oldest child the shortest? It might be true for some reason, but it's not clear if it really is. Several studies have had conflicting results.
2. Why does the oldest child get blamed for everything?
3. Why is being the oldest so hard?
Now, the middle child . . .
1. Why is the middle child always hated?
2. Why is the middle child always forgotten?
3. Why is the middle child always left out?
Now, the youngest . . .
1. Why is the youngest child the favorite?
2. Why is the youngest child always spoiled?
3. Why does the youngest child get away with everything?
They also looked at the top questions people ask about ONLY children . . .
1. Why are only children weird?
2. Why are only children so sensitive?
