My twin thinks I was the golden one and he's the scapegoat. I think the other way around because males are strongly favoured in my culture and I am female and he got away with a lot as a male.
Perhaps the truth is in between - that the parents alternated among their children. I was favoured in some ways and scapegoated in others, and so was he - because both of us didn't conform to gender roles.

I was 5 years older than him. My parents were very much about getting things done in the garden and outside, and a lot of times I got in trouble because I did not do my job. Heck! I was what? 8. He was 3. What business does am 8 year old have overseeing a 3 year old? Go figure that.
I don't think I was old enough to decide what would be best for him and I really don't think I should be held accountable for things I didn't know how to handle.
Sorry. Rambling.
