[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Immature parents are actually a huge influence on first borns being over-achievers.[/quote]

I’m going to research this. It doesn’t seem to make sense but I would like to see valid studies on topics like this.[/quote]
Dp. It makes perfect sense. My dh for example. his brother too. I never thought about it this way, but I can see it clearly now that pp posted this. Thanks pp!

ILS were in debt all the time, his dad only cared about his sleep, once ripped the carpet from the whole living area, and left it bare for over 12 years. Dh went to cc as a  HS sophomore, got a trade licence, started earning great money, lent them money to pay off their cc debt. As in, he was 20 when he lent them 25k. My parents are mature and I was academicaly driven, but not so much for work. Different parents cause different issues. DH felt financially insecure, he was working as early as 7 year old, delivering newspapers. Fixed cars as his parents never tried, at 16 years old he got pneumonia fixing his dad's car so his dad could go to work. He never, ever blamed his parents fr anything. He loves them. While it is not htier fault they were poor, I think it is their fault that they were so immature and doing dumb crap all the time. He now earns a ton of money, but still is driven to work more. It is not always a good thing, heck it is often a bad thing.[/quote]
