Living in the shadow

Sometimes being the youngest child is hard. It usually ends with results of being compared to one of your older siblings.
I find this extreamly hard when your parent looks at you and says "I can't believe you made the same mistake as ____, you should know better."
What is even harder is when you have a huge age difference between your older siblings and you. What I tend to find a little ironic is that though your parents know the situation and "mistake" in every detail, the younger sibling typically ends up knowing nothing about the event. So, in the end, us younger siblings can't know better, because we weren't alive back then. Therefore, truthful retellings of stories should be enforced, along with more accounts than just the adults. Then, maybe some of us younger siblings wouldn't be lost in the shadow of an unknown situation we have no clue about. *end rant*
