So have any of you watched the Duggars or ever been back home? You must’ve noticed this trend in large Families also Somali ones where you have the oldest kids take care of the younger ones. The children are Parentified sometimes by narcisstic parent who have emotional void in their life. They even share their finance and relationship issue to the oldest children and make him in charge of the younger ones(especially girls). I’ve noticed that this happens actually in Somali families in the west (uk specifically where no one bats an eye to 9 kids Somali family). The thing is this Parentfication leads to many mental health problems in the future.
So I want to ask sspot
Anyone has a large family (loads probably lol)?
What are the cons?
Have you ever been Parentified as a child?
Opinions?
