“First-born children are smarter than their younger siblings...”

? Had to look to see if this was a story from 40-50 yrs ago, cuz that’s about how long ago I remember hearing about it.
I guess if someone is going to pay to do the study no matter how redundant, someone will gladly take the money.

and then there's the study about only children being smarter than multiple children families....its hogwash...

I will say the way it was in my family....post WW2 my oldest brother and my oldest sister got EVERYTHING..

starting with the bronzed shoes...the piano lessons...the extra attention...the dance lessons...the camps....etc....

the rest of us....no money when it came to lessons for the rest of us...

consequently, the gifted duo are liberals, and the rest of us are basic conservatives....those that got it given to them as opposed to those who had to work for it...
