I'm the youngest. I have a 19 year old bro, and we are 3(though for a 2 week period, 2) years apart. We use to fight all the time...he has ADD and it use to be really bad but he's ok now. He's supercool, fixes up 626s/MX-6s/Probes in his free time. He use to go to UMSL, but I think he's going to go to Meramac Community College this year or something. Currently, he's unemployed(as I am, though I've never been employed), but he use to work for Lou Fusz Chevy(as a porter) and then Lou Fusz Mazda/Nissan/Subaru(as a new car prep). He was fired for a dumb reason, then he worked at, of all places, a junkyard here that is owned by some of our relatives. That was probably the most fun job, cause he used a beat up B-2000(which I've posted pics of a long time ago here) as his yard truck, and when there was nothing better to do he would go dirt racing around the yard. Now, he soon might be working for a used car dealer doing some mechanic work...in the mean time he trades 626/MX-6/Probe parts with people all around the world.

And he has 3 cars('87 626(going to be sold soon), '88 MX-6 GT, '89 Probe GT). The MX-6 runs 13.8 at 98mph or so in the quarter with not many mods. He's a very good driver, though scary at times. Sometimes when I'll be with him in the MX-6 he will go on a exit ramp(that go either to another highway or other bigger road without a stop light) at a very high rate of speed and we will go around it with all tires skidding and just continue on down the road. He also likes to race people at stop lights, and he wins most of the time.

He's cool.

And I like being the youngest. Everything was tested on my bro, so for me things tend to go the right way. Though I get a lot of handmedowns.

For one, your path through life is much more easier to tread through

The correct form would be "younge(er)(est)." Or even "young(r)(st)" would work. I happen to like the first one better. I'm not sure which one is actually correct though.

My little sisters are fairly annoying. <-- That sentence puts me on topic. IW.
 
I'm the oldest.
My only brother will turn 7 in October, which puts him 9 years behind. I'll be back by 10 in March. He's just as spoiled as I was, but I let him have all my 16-bit stuff and my old PSX. I never got anything like that.

Only - hence my periodic lapses into selfishness.

I have an older half brother from my father's first marriage. I never lived with him, didn't meet him until I was seven. We're pretty close now.
 
I am the oldest I have my lil sister and my lil brother and its tough being the oldest. ;)

my sister is 13 and she keeps taking my stuff mainly albums and items of clothing that don't fit her and my lil bro is 10 (we are a whole decade apart) everyone reckon my bro (Jordan :lol) is my twin yet we are 10 years seperate because he looks nearly exactly like me when I was his age. Nowadays my bro usually goes into my room and leaves the ps2 out with all the wires everywhere with the remote control for the tv missing (essintial for playing ps2 in my room) I am gonna have to give him a choke slam. :D
 
I'm the youngest of three.

I have a 26 year old sister, Daphne, she's an hotel manager or something in Aix, France. She's known for harassing Doug DeMuro on MSNIM and drives a silver CLK320. My parents have pretty much paid her way through life, she's spoiled as hell and likes to hang out on Spanish beaches.

My 19 year old brother has ambitions in the hotel industry too, he lives in a luxury apartment in Maastricht, Netherlands. He drives a Peugeot 206 GT and has never harassed Doug DeMuro on MSNIM. My parents own his apartment, bought his car, and pay for his creditcard, this makes him spoiled as hell too.

Are your parents going to spoil you? My parents aren't going to spoil me. That just sucks.
 
I was under the impression that the youngest gets more spoiled than the older specimens. Suppose that's the case with yourself?
 
specimens? LOL.

Here, we aren't really spoiled...there's a middle section. All of our essentials are paid for by my parents, but stuff we want is either all our responsability, or sometimes my parents chip in. But I'm no lazy bum, I do stuff for my parents. I do get paid by them(as well as I should, I don't have to do the stuff they want me to do), but it's usually not a whole lot of money. The other day my mom paid me $15 for washing the MPV and trimming my grandma's bushes. Earlier this year I put in some 104 concrete edging things around the front of my house, it took several days, and I got paid(what I thought was on the edge of a skimpy amount) $50.

I currently have no job, never have. As a nearly 17 year old, I really should have one, but I don't really buy a lot of crap. I will have to pay for insurence and gas for the 323(a joint payment, it's still my dad's car, both my parents use it every now and then, so the insurence that I'll have to pay will be the amount it goes up when my name is put on it.

At this point, I'd really like to be able to do what my bro does selling parts, since it's basically working from home, it's relatively easy, and if you get the right parts you can make some good money(some parts my bro buys from junkyards for $10 can be sold for as much as $80, and usually shipping is paid by whoever my bro sells the part to).

But yea, Chris will be spoiled. Family traditions. Hopefully his folks won't run out of money before they spoil him, that would just suck(for him...other people would just laugh at him, kinda like they do now).
 
Well.. I'm not spoiled.. er.. i THINK....

$25 allowance every month for...
-washing dishes
-helping around the house..
-taking the trash out

Keep in mind i AM in canada =P
 
Why is it that parents always try to spin allowance as if it is a payment for chores? Kids shouldn't be payed to do things they should be doing anyway. It just makes having to do it in later life worse, working and remembering how you used to get paid to do that job. Allowance is simply a stipend so that the child can buy snacks, stop bugging parents to buy them things, etc. Chores are a required part of living, and the only time you are "paid" for them is while receiving allowance from your parents.
 
32 year old...260 lb....married...and the baby of 4 sibs. You hit the mark Timmmotheus. Although my mother still gives me chocolate after I mow her lawn. Now I do it out of love though.:sly:
 
[English Lesson]When you are comparing items in a 2-item list, you use the extension -er, not -est. -est is to be used where the list has more than two items.

Therefore, if you have, as I do, only one sibling, who is older than you, then you are "the younger of the two", and the sibling is "the older of the two". If you have more than one sibling, and you were the last to be born, then you are "the youngest of three".[/English Lesson]

I believe he was making a general statement. Rather like "having one or more sibling(s) is entertaining."

I'm not saying that allowance is bad. I'm just saying that it should not be portrayed as "payment for chores."
 
It remains unclear to me just why you love the Romans.
And Jesus, well, he was a rock star.
