To ask if you will admit to being the golden child?

[Jumpstark]

I'm often struck by threads where loads of people come on to say their sibling was the golden child. Statistically, of course for every scapegoat there is also a golden child.

If you were a golden child, what was it like. Was it good or bad? And does it affect your adult relationship with your sibling?

Asking for insight as I'd like to mend bridges with my golden child sister. We were both loved but she was always the clever, brilliant one. I still have to hear every little thing about my nephews!

I see it from the perspective of both mother and child. SS was the scapegoat, everyone was encouraged to gang up on her and insult her, she is now vlc.

I am friendly, easygoing and cheerful with all my kids. What has changed is their perception. The teens emerge from their rooms and are monosyllabic and probably would say I favour the younger ones- not true. I am equally friendly and generous to them all. It’s life stages. So this has changed my perspective a little.
