About this episode

Female listeners; if you're the oldest of multiple siblings, you probably know the drill. Being the big sister often means being thrust into a parental role from a young age and sometimes having to sacrifice your own personal growth as a result.

And discussions of this phenomenon have been increasing in the last year or so. The term "eldest daughter syndrome" has emerged and started trending on Tiktok from 2023 onwards. At the time of recording, the #eldestdaughtersyndrome hashtag had accrued over 1000 posts and nearly 50M views.

What exactly does eldest daughter syndrome entail then? Where does all this stem from? Why don't we hear about this with boys? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
