Yup, this is so true….
Hearing your siblings describe their childhood can sometimes be a little jarring. You may even get the sense that you didn’t grow up on the same planet, much less in the same house.
“Despite having shared early experiences, it’s not uncommon for siblings to have experienced their childhood in a very different way,” said Genevieve von Lob, a clinical psychologist and author of “Happy Parent, Happy Child.”
One child may share certain interests and personality traits with one or both parents, while another sibling has more of their own distinct personality and interests.
Bottom line, having an ultra-religious, over the top parent may rub off on one child, and not another, as some personalities are followers and some aren’t.
As Paul Harvey would say, ‘and that’s the rest of the story’…..
