Annaluz Fox :
Why is this precedent set for the eldest daughter and not eldest sons?

soulish_life_unscripted :
It isn’t always the firstborn who carries the burden; the "eldest daughter syndrome" is defined by a role, not a birth order. Whether it is a middle child, a son, or the youngest, the "functional eldest" is the one who steps up to shoulder the family’s emotional and practical responsibilities.

As the eldest daughter with 5 siblings. This is so true. I feel like I am always responsible carrying the family instead of my parents. I started working at the age of 9 selling stuff to save a little bit amount of money and work at my aunt store to support my studies from high school to a 2 year college degree. At the age of 17, I started working at a corporate job until now that I am 30 still supporting my family and I am super exhausted in life and burned out. I cannot express my feelings openly with my parents cause they will just tell me that since I am the one working I should be the one supporting them. I never even enjoy my childhood and thinking about this things makes me cry so much 😭😭😭

Raising siblings as a child, and being in the middle of your parents marriage as an adult, you’re expected to be a crutch for both, if one “punishes” the other, you step in and drive them around, do their paperwork, hear both sides, financially cover costs. Many, many breakdowns! What did it cost me? Everyone thinks I’m too emotional and none of my siblings talk to me

At 38, I am still experiencing this with taking care of my dad and all of his medical problems. I do not have kids because of this.

Eldest daughter here. At 45, I’ve begun to heal. I’m embracing this era of learning what I need and receiving what my heart desires.

I was given a job I never asked for, then resented for it.

As much as this was my reality I am grateful for the independence it gave me and the joy I embrace for caring for others.

Then enter the phase of defending and expressing your needs becomes offensive to those who benefitted from the “fixer”

I try with all my might, that my eldest daughter does not have to parent her younger siblings, or me. Healing takes time.

I’m a mom to eight. This makes me really pause. My oldest daughter absolutely acted like a “mom”. She was always trying to parent from the time she was two with her oldest brother. She has always been the boss and the manager of everyone. I hate that she feels so responsible for everyone. I wish she could relax. How does one heal?
