[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I see, birth order affects this somehow. Oldest daughters stereotypically seem grateful to the point they take on the role of parents when the time comes that parents need help. I see this is so many families I know. Younger sons don’t seem to have the gratefulness or the loyalty. Not always, but enough that this trope exists. [/quote] Agree 100% with the birth order observation. I think birth order and combos of it as parents (i.e. two first borns marrying each other vs. two youngest) have so much to do with family dynamics, even more so than genders of kids. First borns tend to be rule followers and identify with a parental role, as you said. I don’t think it even occurs to them sometimes that they’re allowed to be ungrateful. (Or question certain things.) [/quote]
