Comment: I almost agreed with this article, but after reading the 6th paragraph decided it was a crock of baloney. I was that mellow baby with the sweet temperment and my sister was always the fussy one. Years later, I became the succesful college student in who already has an engineering job secured after college, and my sister graduated high school with no motivation for college or even a job, and has anti-social tendancies. My parents raised us the same way, (and did a great job!), and are incredibly confused as to what happened. (My sister and I are 2 years apart) But there were other social factors that affected our outlook and motivation for life.
Every child is different, no parent should simply categorize them the way this article does. Although there may be things that are out of your control, that doesn't mean it can be simply blamed on genetics. Most siblings start on a fairly even playing field, it's what happens socially, by parenting, family gatherings, school and church groups, etc. that builds their character.
