On paper, everything may seem the same. You share the same house, come home to the same dinner, go on the same family vacations and heck you even share the same parents. If you list it out, you and your sibling could argue that you had the same childhood. And that makes sense, at first. You were both raised on the same principles and went through all the same schooling. However, when we really take the time to think about the differences in the childhoods of siblings, we often find more differences than similarities. Childhood memories are less about lists and more about the viewpoint.
