Birth Order Relationships

When did you arrive in your family? Are you the oldest child, a middle child, or the "baby"? Birth order may not be the most important factor in personality development, but we can make some generalizations.

  • If you're the oldest, you're probably: successful, conservative, self-critical, able to enjoy the company of older people.

   Parents often expect a lot from the first child. They often push them to succeed. The first child often has to grow up very fast.

  • If you're a middle child, you're probably: the one with most friends, the silent rebel against the family's values. Middle children often feel less important than their older or younger siblings.
  • If you're the youngest child, you're probably: a show-off who enjoys the limelight, often the family clown, both a charming and a rebel, creative. The youngest child often has the longest childhood.

(SASLOW; ASCHER, 2006, p. 82)

Can retirement kill you?

 

In 2003, Dr Harry Prosen stepped down as head of psychiatry at the Medical College of Wisconsin, but the then 71-year-old had no plans to retire. Rather, the doctor intended to focus on other “jobs” that would keep him busy.

 

It’s not just a love of working that has kept Prosen, now at 83, toiling away 30 hours a week as an octogenarian. He also sees keeping busy as a matter of life or death.

 

Prosen said he is certain that if he stopped working entirely, he would literally die not long after. In fact, a number of studies show that retirement is bad for your health.

 

A 2013 report, for instance, found that retirement increased the chances of suffering from depression by 40%, while it increased the probability of having at least one physical ailment by about 60%.
