Anyone ever have their younger brothers or sisters surpass them growing up?

I am the shortest and skinniest in our family. Early in life my three younger brothers got taller and stronger than me and even leapfrogged me in school.

My younger brother is 6 years younger than me. He never surpassed me in stature, but I was pretty humiliated when I was the diapered bedwetter and he was sleeping dry.

My sister is two years my junior. I was a tad talker until she hit a growth spurt at age 9. We were the same heoght for a year and then she surpassed me I our mid teens but that never hurt our relationship.

My youngest brother is taller than me, but it has never bothered either of us. I know things are different for you and understand your feelings. Just saying; not criticising.

My brother yeah- height runs in my dads side of the family. He'll prolly surpass me in terms of success too.

@IntenseCookie: You are a nprmal height for a girl but yes he is quite tall! How would him being more successful make you feel?

Ahhh, it's just one of those things, you know? Generally I don't have an issue with it because it's what it is and all that. But no one likes being compared to a sibling 😅
