What is the best birth order combination for a relationship?

Question

What do you think is the best birth-order combination for a relationship? My boyfriend are both the oldest in our families, and it's funny to see how some typical "oldest" traits come into our relationship (needing attention, over-achievers, etc). What so you think is the worst combination?

Answer 1

I'm a first born and my partner is a last born which is meant to be a great combination because I'm over achieving and he's really relaxed so we balance each other out. Of course his lack of ambition is completely incomprehensible to me but at least we don't compete or butt heads. He's taught me how to vege out and I've taught him how to get a great career so we're all good :-)

This article is pretty interesting, they say the worst combination is female last born with no brothers and male last born with no sisters or two only children together. For every article like this though, there's a real life couple who can disagree so I wouldn't take it all too seriously!!
