[quote=Anonymous]Large families with 6+ siblings - yes - common. Estrangement can be simply disparate ages/stages/geographical distance but also eldest members have completely different relationship and upbringing than younger siblings. Often there’s a caretaking role foisted upon older siblings for youngest and that breeds resentment. Typically youngest gets experience of old/tired/parents who abdicate responsibilities or become dispassionate altogether. Seems like siblings form alliances and groupings like “oldest boys” or “first two” while the middles to younger are black sheep or non aligned nor particularly close to any siblings. Ask me how I know! My father was 2nd of 8. [/quote]
