It is complicated for me. I spent the first seven years of my life as the oldest (well, the first 2.5 were as the only...) Then when I was seven, I got two older stepbrothers, so I was the middle child. Then when I was 11 (or maybe 12) my stepmom died and my stepbrothers moved away. So I wend back to being the oldest. For a few months it was just me and my natural sister, but then both my mom and my dad got remarried, and I got two younger stepsisters on each side. (thus remaining the oldest, but being older than more people, which I think makes a differance)
Then to make things even more confusing, I still see my stepbrothers a couple times a year, so I'll occassionally go back to being in the middle for short periods of time. (I still consider them my brothers, but I take the role of the oldest when they are gone)
My stepbrothers are twins who have very little on common aside from their looks, and have never done the "freaky twin thing".
I answered oldest to the first question. But I identify more with a middle child when I read stuff about birth order.
