Birth Order

Are you a first born or the baby of the family? Maybe the middle child? What do you do or did you do to earn a living? Or are you an only child?

Myself I was the second born, first born daughter and raised as an only child until I was 6 by another family.

I was in the banking industry for the bulk of my working years.

Re: Birth Order

After we get some input I will come back and discuss further. I think you will find this interesting.

Don't know how to answer your poll, Esther. I'm number three out of eight.

Re: Birth Order

After a stint in the Navy i worked in a large UAW factory for 15 years. Then I sold GM cars for 15 years.

For the last 8 to 10 years I have been on staff part time at our church while also running a small maintenance company doing mainly work on empty apartment buildings. About year and half ago I added power wheelchair delivery and service work to the list of part time things I do now.

I love to fish and explore the MN/Canadian border lakes and starting next year I'll be taking the month of July off from the above duties and managing a resort on the Canadian border.

Re: Birth Order

I am a first born, married to a first born, of course our oldest child is a first born, so we have only one baby in our family... makes for an interesting situation.

I was a foster child for a while, which mixes things up a bit.

I have been a teacher, massage therapist, and I am currently in school for communication.

Re: Birth Order

Not sure how to vote here. I am my Dad's firstborn, but my Mom's middle child. My two older sisters left home at an early age, so I was raised as oldest.

I worked as an EMT until I got pregnant with my son, so now I am a stay at home Mom. I am thinking about starting school next fall, but I am not sure what I want to do.

Re: Birth Order

I was the baby to my parents, born late in their lives. They always told me they were so glad I came along!

I had 3 older sisters 19, 16 and 10 years older and 1 brother 14 years older.

I have been a full time homemaker for most of my married life, but I have worked a few jobs here and there. Some of which were/are waitress, cook's aide, daycare, sewing, typist, and book keeping.

How do you answer if you're your own grandpa?
