I have been reading lately about the subject -Birth order and personality- and what it really means your position in the family. Being myself the first born in the house, the subject somehow catches my attention. There is so much written, especially about the first born. Many theories on why parents could have a weakness for their first kid and why most of them fiercely deny it out of guilt. Many psychologists explaining the facts and also how our personalities are affected by it.
Anyways, browsing around I found this. Not at all a scientific article, but just the heart of a mother talking. I read it, got so emotional on how this woman puts in words her feelings towards her first born and how those words are so connected with my own feelings towards my first born, actually my only one. While reading, I felt I had written the article myself, not because I could be able to write so beautifully but because of all the deep feelings expressed by this woman. Just wanted to share it with any mom who wants to read.
