nurture vs. nature ... i believe some of both are reasons for my own submission. Learning of my submission has been one of the most exciting things for me. I believe i have relatively well explored WHY? in my situation. Environment has played a large part in it. The curious thing is that my eldest son shows me signs of possible dominance all the time and has since he was two months old. At times this trait has gotten me to the point of pullling my hair out but that is another thread lol. My second son does not display these characteristics. I have been asking people about their birth order in the family. Though hardly conclusive at this point, the results have been interesting.
