About this listen

Siblings often remember their childhoods completely differently because parents evolve with each child, creating different family experiences despite the same household.

• Birth order significantly impacts how we experience family life
• Oldest children often function as unpaid parental assistants
• Middle children become masters of diplomacy but feel overlooked
• Youngest children typically experience more relaxed parenting rules
• Parents aren't the same with each child due to changing circumstances
• Each sibling gets their own "director's cut" of family memories
• Shared experiences create bonds only siblings can understand
• Siblings become living time capsules of family history
• As parents age, sibling relationships become increasingly valuable
• Sibling relationships provide support during difficult times
