          Your one skill as a child is being “the easy one”, meaning you don’t ask for anything, unlike your more needy younger sibling. So you just keep not asking for things and your needs go unmet. And anytime a child needs to show flexibility, it’s you because you’re the older one. No, you don’t get to blow out the candles on your birthday cake alone because your brother wants to, it’d be nice if you let him help because you’re the older one. By the time you’re 10 you realize you’ll always be the older one. It sucks.
