In many families there always seems to be the self-proclaimed “sheep.”  I have asked a number of people why they consider themselves the “sheep” of a given family?  They never have an answer for me.  Then, I wonder – how does this happen! 

After mulling this point over, I have decided it is a self-proclamation for lack of energy, drive, or motivation.  Usually, the sheep will pop up in large families where you have a lot of competition and the individual did not make the right decisions or ran with the wrong crowd.  Most times though, it is lack of initiative –  and always proclaiming himself as the “sheep” brings the desired attention he craves from the family.
