Welcome to our latest episode where we explore the often-overlooked phenomenon of Eldest Daughter Syndrome and how it affects women who are the oldest female child in their families. We discuss the signs and symptoms of this syndrome, how it impacts women's self-worth, relationships, and overall well-being.

As the oldest female child, many women grow up feeling like a second parent to their younger siblings, and they miss out on experiences tied to childhood. They learn to set an example for their younger siblings, often feel older than their age, and are used to putting their needs last to take care of others. They are also expected to uphold family traditions and values and feel like they have to earn their parents' love and approval.

As a result, many eldest daughters suffer from perfectionism and struggle to make friends or keep relationships. They are scared of failing and see it as a sign that they are not good enough. We discuss the importance of setting boundaries and saying no to tasks that are not our responsibility. We emphasize that self-care is not selfish and that it's okay to be tired and seek rest.

We also touch on the unspoken effect of Eldest Daughter Syndrome, which is that many women end up craving validation from taking on a caretaker role. They seek romantic relationships in which they are the caretaker for a fully grown man.

We believe it's essential to talk about this phenomenon, and we hope our discussion sheds light on it and helps women who are struggling with it. Don't miss this thought-provoking discussion that delves deep into a topic that is often overlooked.
