2catchastar: I have just one question! My mother was married had to boys, then she married my father and had me that made me an only child but yet the baby, My father remarried and had my younger brother and sister and ihn that family I was the oldest. I am the only one by my mother and father, the youngest of my mother and the oldest of my father. So where do I fit?
I see where you are going with this...lets see...I have by my mom's first marriage to my dad an older sister and a younger brother which makes me the middle one....then her second and third marriage (to the same man) I have a younger by 3-months stepbrother and a younger stepsister and also a younger half-sister....where does that put me?

I have one younger brother (by 2 & 1/2 yrs) & these descriptions are fairly close for each of us.
Well growing up it was mainly us last three youngest girls left in the house and I was the middle child. But looking at the picture as a whole, I was the second to the youngest from 8 children.
