🗯️If parents fight a lot, the bond between siblings gets stronger.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦You’re less likely to divorce if you have a brother or sister. A study by Ohio State University showed that the more siblings you have, the better your chances of dealing with conflict and understanding relationship dynamics. This ultimately results in a 7 per cent reduction in the future divorce rate for each sibling.

🗯️The bickering between brothers and sisters is really NATURAL.

🕊️Some studies show that the order of birth can shape your personality. The older child in the family tends to feel a great burden of responsibility. The younger ones characterize themselves as more accommodating, relaxed and cheerful.
