Interesting fact which is depressing

Me and my cousin were born 6 days apart for each other and grew up around each other as my aunt lives 6 doors down from my house. So in theroy we should have developed at similar rates but Because of how differently we were treated i learnt to crawl and walk long before him because he was constantly being held and carried by people. But he learnt to talk 8 months before me for the same reason. Pretty screwed up that blatant favourtisim affects how fast children develop.

Wow that's certainly interesting. Same with pets. We had baby chickens that would act like they can't do shit because they had us picking them up and carrying them around and feeding them. They were conditioned to just run around aimlessly after us until we fed them and pet them or sang them to sleep.
Then one day we had to travel for a bit. That week my dad's friend took care of them. When we came back from the trip, they had suddenly become such responsible little chickens, had grown dramatically, and we had to buy a new cage for them that weekend. 😶 woah.
