You just got my goat with that last part. I had to put up with that and there's a 6.5 year difference between us. I fought so hard for everything I was ever allowed to do/have, and then Brother just got to have it/do it then, too. Aargh. My Mom's response to my complaints? Well, that's just how it is when you're the oldest child... you get to pave the way for your siblings. It's always easier for the younger children.
Did I hear her right? She was the oldest of three. Had she totally forgotten the frustration of being the oldest sibling? I used to swear I'd never grow up and play the "everybody's equal" game. It ticked me off.
