[quote=Anonymous]My brother was the golden one, I was the average one. He also loved to proclaim all I was ever going to do was get married and have kids so all family resources should be applied to him - his college, his career, his life. I just did my thing, enjoyed my friends, built good connections. Fast forward many years, my brother is an alcoholic, divorced, kids won't talk to him miserable individual who could live up to his or any one else's high expectations. I flew under the radar, did well in school, college, good career and balance in life. Ironically all without the "family resources" since my brother absorbed those for himself. I'm in a good place emotional, financial with good friends and support. I'm actually glad my family choice not to focus on me - I think I much better off as a result. So with your kids let them be who they are - support each for their own identity - but also have some common ground. There will always be differences between siblings but it should have to divide a family the way it did mine, unless you let it. My parents favored the first born golden child and it was very obvious.[/quote]
