Episode 290: Eldest Daughter Syndrome - Pressure, Responsibility, & Desire to Be the Best
Description
Do we experience ‘Eldest Daughter Syndrome’? If you haven’t heard this term before, typically it refers to the unique challenges and responsibilities that shape the personalities of eldest daughters - particularly in immigrant families. It’s a title that none of us chose, but many have found that the pressure of parental expectations and the need to be a role model for our younger siblings can have both positive and negative effects. On today’s episode, the two eldest daughters of ABG - Janet and Mel - chat about when they first realized they were the eldest, why they were a “guinea pig” for their parents, and how their relationship with younger siblings has changed in adulthood.
