9. I also have four "Bro's"...though all mine were older! Ughhh!!
And I'd like to dismiss that myth about the "only girl" sibling, with all brothers, being spoiled. Pleeeese! It was like growing up in a locker room! Not only was I not pampered, but I had to "pedal" real hard to keep up! Boy, was it was tough! Though it DID teach me a lot about Men that was truly invaluable.

6. One older sister.
I still contend, to my parents denial, that I was a mistake, considering my sister is 10 years older. :P

20. I have one younger brother. I was not
the "typical" oldest child. I was way more the rebel and not adult oriented the way the first child classically is. I later found out that children who behave the way I did tend to be the "wrong" sex, or different from what their parents wanted. My parents wanted a boy, and they were disappointed. It really messes with your mind! Luckily I didn't do that to my two daughters!

:evilgrin:

23. Two sisters, one either side
My older sister is 2 years older, my younger sister is 7 years younger.

Would like to have had a brother, but I can imagine that we would have argued constantly.
