Birth Order

[Sherri]

Typical middle child.

Married to a pastor; I've worked in ministry along side him for the past 21 years full time. Before that I held a few office jobs, just to make ends meet.

That is the way my brother and my niece was... barely two years apart. My niece went on every vacation and every where with us. I was the oldest of us three and my niece is more like a younger sister. She is the only child of my oldest sister.

That would make you middle born. Your not the oldest or the youngest.

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.

What is your birth order?

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.

I am the youngest (of all the siblings and grandkids in my generation on both sides) I am a Project Engineer, my degree is in Chemical Engineering.

I am the youngest of three. There are 5 years difference between my sister and 7 years between my brother.
I was a teacher, elementary principal and supervisor until I retired. My Dad is an only child and my mom was a middle child of eight.

The middle child tends to be a peace maker so that would be very helpful being a minister's wife.

Some tend to not communicate much and hold things in, I doubt this is an issue with you.

There is probably enough of a gap between your siblings that you function somewhat as a first born as well as the baby of the family.

The baby tends to be the entertainer of the family.

Is there a signficant age difference? And are you the same gender as your other siblings?
