  • Ah yes, The Oprah Generation (0 / 0)

    I am a screwup because _____ (I was first born, my mother smoked, I was moved a lot as a child, I have red hair).  Everyone does their own psychoanalysis based on tv clips and bits from magazines and use it as an excuse to get away with things.  This bit of information is jsut baloney and speculation.

    • half full or half empty? (0 / 0)

      gee,i never looked at birth order as any kind of excuse, rather another window into self awareness and understanding of family dynamics.  with that it seems like knowledge that can help inform you on all kinds of relationships and perhaps help navigate through them.

      • I guess I'm kinda of with summer day here (0 / 0)

        cuz i do feel that more and more peole have all sorts of justifications for their actions "oh I'm a red head" "oh I'm the middle child' so you can' tpossibly hold me accountable you see it's birth order I simply have to act like a raving lunatic ....

        But then again I'm also not one for horoscopes dictating my day...;-)   I guess self awareness is all fine and dandy but I do think alot of people use stuff like this as a crutch.
