I've also heard that the oldest turn out worst because the parents are inexperienced and have more wisdom when raising the other kids. I've also heard that middle children turn out worst because they don't get the attention of first borns or youngest kids. I think all of these are just excuses when one kid turns out worse. But, in reality each kid is unique from birth and some parents and parenting techniques simply won't have the same results on different kids. Even within the same family. Which makes parenting just that more difficult. You never know if you'll be stuck with some kid who is difficult and obnoxious no matter what you do. In my view it's all the more reason to never have kids unless you want to dedicate yourself to learning about good parenting.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995633424995745063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813426.post-1122773459579434312005-07-30T18:30:00.000-07:002005-07-30T18:30:00.000-07:00I agree with John.

C'mon, Terrence, we were all kids once, and we tend to think we were better than today's kids are, but we tend to have very selective memories.David Chohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10635380194329897550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813426.post-1122657182282370712005-07-29T10:13:00.000-07:002005-07-29T10:13:00.000-07:00Terrence, you were once 12.

Just finished the chapter in Freakonomics that basically says it matters less how you were raised than who raised you.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968106816295892826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813426.post-1122589886163397242005-07-28T15:31:00.000-07:002005-07-28T15:31:00.000-07:00a lot of it depends on how they're raised. just sa...a lot of it depends on how they're raised. just sayin'...Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809857352489091307noreply@blogger.com
