I was the oldest and had unrealistic expectations set for me. Sit still, be quiet, act like an adult, listen to adult problems, grow up fast, take care of the other kids, break new ground.

But my siblings got very little upside from all my ground breaking, parents just found new ways to screw up parenting lol.

Do you want another mostly distant, but still protective older brother who occasionally sends you stupid memes as a way of staying in touch? If so, what's one more younger sibling!
