Yep, oldest here too. Felt like I was rushed to grow up while my youngest sister was kept "the baby" for longer than she was comfortable with. On the one hand, she was showered with attention but now that we are adults, I don't think she was thrilled with her "place". It may have affected her faith in her own independence.
My need for fatherly/motherly attention from my therapist is a little embarrassing but I try to enjoy it now that I have it. I never felt like I had enough one-on-one time w/my parents.
