Definitely shaped him as a person:)
My order or lack of order, since I'm an only child, made me appreciate company more

I'm an older brother, so I've had responsibilities. I think that has helped, but also hurt in that sometimes I just don't want to do the responsibility thing.
No and no
I'm not sure about myself all I know is my brother and sister used to be much closer to each other than to me so I felt kinda left out but this changed by now. But maybe that's why I love reading or don't mind being alone.
I don't think it affected him. Because he is the last child in his family and still he found his own way of living and doing things and he tends to take care and protect others which is more of a big brother thing to me.

Yes, yes, not sure. We aren't that close apart so it didn't seem like that much time between us
Yes, his not very much, mine it gave some definite advantages and some definite disadvantages, so can't complain
Yes buy taking more blame. For me I received less discipline and support
Should be both
Weet ik niet
Yes - both, I'm the baby of the family and Heidi basically the older sibling of the family. He is used to taking care of others and I am used to being taken care of lol it works out perfect
No, I don't think so at all. I am the eldest and he is the youngest, but both our families are close and the siblings get on so well.
LOL. We're both an only child... So, yeah maybe it does in a way that we both have certain attitudes that are very similar.
Well it's the reason there are no pictures of me as a baby, but overall it's because my brother is disabled. So no I don't think it's affected me.
I don't think it's affected my partner too much either. He does feel pressure now, knowing he's the only one that will give his parents grandchildren.
