[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is something else--with respect to language it's most noticable--if there are multiple kids in the family, the oldest seems to be bilingual, and then it tends to be that the next oldest may speak a little but understands, etc, as you go down the line and the youngest might not know it at all. I wonder if this is true for the cooking as well? It seems true for family history in our family.[/quote] This makes perfect sense if the kids are first generation. The family is becoming more and more Americanized over the years, with the youngest being the most Americanized of all. I married into a family like this and my MIL once lamented to me that it was almost inevitable her youngest would marry an American (me). The older siblings married other immigrants from their country of origin but my husband was just a baby when they came and has no recollection of living in the other country and does not feel very connected to it.[/quote]
