david jacobs and eldest daughter syndrome is still so special to me by the way. shouldering the responsibility of the family. the parentification of the child. the struggle to advocate for your own needs. being the catch-all for tasks no one else has the time nore the mundset to complete. reminding your siblings and your parents of everything or nothing will get done. doing the chores to appease the masses and doing them right to fix the cracks in the foundation of the family.

esther and mayer are incredible parents, there’s no denying that, but david started icking up the slack when les was born and he’s never had an easy chance to let it go. it’s part of him now, whether he likes it or not.
