are you an upper middle class striver sort of family?
either that or asian
I am Laotian.
of chinese descent?
ummm I do believe so yes.
did they leave Laos around 1975?
That period of my family's history is fog to me but it must have been around that time.
there's your answer I guess
tiger mom
Crouching tiger mom in my case kek
fallot what do you think about birth order
I've been thinking about that recently
I think its important but there may be some other hidden factor
compounding the matter
until I get more of a handle on astrology, I've basically suspended this topic
my unformed ideas are: firstborn gets "something" whatever it is
I don't have any strong opinions about it. I'm willing to treat with the idea that there are broad patterns based on the way birth order affects parental attention or just the child's perception of himself
I can tell from my kid
but like you I think there are potentially hidden factors as well as other stuff
haven't had a second so no further info
the theory seems to fall apart after 3 kids
I'm the first, and I have some "first" qualities but many non-first
I'm the first too
what's your astrological sign?
cancer
hmm
I'm a Leo
i don't know anything about astrology
me neither, I just wanted to see if there was any overlap
or pattern
I have a hard time with astrology because I don't see what the mechanism is. THe best argument I can think of is that there is some seasonal influence on the genetics of a developing child
or epigenetics
that roughly correlates with the zodiac
you seem like someone with the ability to see past that
see past what
problems with mechanisms
I can, but i tend to assign those possibilities lower likelihoods
