What birth order stereotypes do you hate? I'm asking all birth orders, youngest, middle and oldest. I personally am a youngest brother and i hate all those stupid memes of me being spoiled and brainrotted even though I'm the least spoiled and most left out.

This isn't exactly 'birth order' stereotype, but it's a birth stereotype; the idea that all only children are spoilt brats. When you're a kid you don't always realise your folks are struggling, and my parents were determined to not let me be defined by our financial situation. My mum will tell me nowadays how many dishes she found to make with mince because it was the cheapest 'kind of' nutritious way to eat meat at the time, and lots of her mother/grandmother's 'poor/depression era' recipes reared their heads because of lack of money.
I recognise now that I wasn't anywhere near as hard done by as other kids, because Mum did have the luxury of being able to be a largely SAHM, but again, I don't think a lot of kids would understand those nuances.
That said, I have one seemingly particularly delulu BP user who loves to tell me I don't understand poverty even though I work with people in poverty every day, so who knows. Maybe I just know nothing 😆🤷🏽♀️
