I am the oldest. I have a younger brother. They said I was extremely observant and smart as a baby. I got attention but I don't think I was spoiled, and me and my brother played together so I wasn't lonely. I was never abused but my father had some drug/alcohol problems that caused strain on my family in the early years. However, I never felt unsafe or unloved. I agree that it seems like the birth orders doesn't seem to really matter with MD.
