[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a middle aged person now with a sibling a little younger than me and my mom had this same narrative about my brother and me. It was really damaging to both of us. Everything good that happened to me was chalked up to luck and everything bad to my brother was another example of his bad luck.

I was the “lucky” sibling and got no credit for any hard work I did, positivity with which I looked at situations, opportunities I took, etc. It was all just gosh everything good just happens to you!!

My brother is very negative, blames others and his luck, doesn’t see anything as opportunities, etc. He plays right into the narrative of “no matter what I do I’m just unlucky.” He is also very jealous of me and thought everything came easily. At least he was, we’re all over it now of course but we did not have a good relationship growing up.

[b]I suggest you cut out this thinking immediately. Good and bad things happen to everyone - focus on how your kids behave with the hand life deals them and reward them for behaving well given circumstances. There is jo good and bad luck. [/b][/quote]
