My sister is a singularly ineffective homemaker. No one in my family will eat at her home; you wouldn’t either if you’ve seen her stove. Her kids are undisciplined and spoiled rotten; hence she has trouble getting anyone to sit for her. Still in her defense, her marriage is a happy one. I get along great with her husband (he’s a peace officer). I didn’t mean any slight against stay at home moms. (My wife is one). By the way I’m two of 6. And since everyone is giving more detail: I’m a senior officer for an Aerospace firm. Child three also male is a regional sales manager for a large chain big box type store. Child four also male is partner in a construction firm (I’ve always respected him more than any as he graduated form HS functionally illiterate, and learned his trade through hard work). ---

Oldest child here. I do fit the oldest child description. Hmmm…creepy. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/order-of-birth/90764.md?page=1)
