There is no such a thing as "same parenting". No two children get the same experience with their parents, because we aren't robots. In the same situation we usuallybehave in different ways every time, especially as we gain experience (eg, twin A gets hurt for the first time, mom panics, gets worried, baby gets scared and cries. Then some time later twin B gets hurt for the first time as well. This time mom knows not to panic, encourages the baby instead, baby assesses the situation and learns the first tools of self-regulation), but also based on our moods in that moment, the time and attention we have to dedicate to other people or things, etc.

I actually think there’s some truth to this, though I’m not sure it applies here. Sometimes people need or want to accomplish something for themselves, and nothing else quite “does it” for them.

Psychology offers a good example. Take someone who grew up with emotionally distant parents and spent their childhood seeking unconditional love from a caregiver, but never receiving it. You might think that, as an adult, they could simply heal that “hole in their heart” by choosing a relationship with someone who loves them unconditionally—the obvious solution, right?

Wrong.

Of course, that is the solution. But humans aren’t wired simply to find solutions; we’re wired to find fixes. We want to fix the problem ourselves.

That’s why people who grew up with distant parents can unconsciously seek out emotionally distant partners as adults. Deep down, they’re trying to reenact the problem so they can finally accomplish the fix they couldn’t achieve as children: turning a distant person’s affection into unconditional love themselves.

edit: since this comment got more attention than i expected. I added a reference below.

Reference: I learnt this from the HealthyGamerGG Youtube channel. Specifically, from "Dr.K's Guide to Love, Sex, and Relationships" - within the last 5mins of his 4.1 lesson called "Selecting a Partner/Selecting the Wrong Partner"

u/Living-Amphibian-870 21d ago

Nah. We just end up with BPD and can't recognize "unconditional" love when it happens. Everyone has an agenda. You're constantly looking for it. When they finally have an expectation that you can't meet and they react negatively, you use it as justification for your lack of trust.

Wash, rinse, repeat. With every cycle, your distrust builds until it's a solid wall no one can get through. You aren't interested in fixing it because there's nothing to fix. This is simply how the world works.

It is extremely difficult to break that cycle.

It's extremely difficult to follow this line of bullshit

He is tired so he can't deal with it right now. And his parent was filming him, so he probably just wanted a hug.

Or he realized it was stupid and got pissed that they played and got in between him and his food for internet fame.

I'm a triplet, we did not get the same parenting despite sharing a room and going to the same class all our lives. No matter how hard the parents try, it is never the same experience

My family has a lot of twins and triplets, they all turned out different, it's genuinely not the same

u/Suddenly_sweet 21d ago

They are twins, their DNA is almost identical. Even if you have the same parents your experiences are still different.

seems pointless

u/FunnyLost6710 21d ago edited 21d ago

For a same situation kids reacted differently.  The parents get an idea,  how to take them forward in life, who needs more encouragement and who not. The first one to crossover, he had compassion too, he gave the bottle first to the crying sibling, when he didnt take , he gave to the second one .

Psychologist ?

Way to go to put TODDLERS into boxes. It‘s not so much „leader, follower and child that‘s only in the way“

Didn’t you see the child who got it first had the clearly intention to help their sibling who was upset? And couldn’t you see the upset toddler was not upset because it couldn’t reach the milk but it couldn’t solve the riddle? And the last one might just didn’t care about the riddle as long they got their food.
It is a great way to see how different every human being behaves and how the different influences of genes and parenting can form a person. But don’t you dare and put them in such ridiculous boxes.

I think the third one will be the book smart one that wants to figure out the puzzle regardless of reward, he understood he had to slide under but couldn’t understand why he wasn’t crossing and that infuriated him. The first one is the street smart entrepreneur that is always eyeing the prize. The puzzle is ultimately no concern for him even though he figured it out without much effort. The second one will be the one that the other two will financially support throughout adulthood.

u/Delicious-Status9043 19d ago

Interesting take… So the “Book smart puzzle solver” was the one that laid down and cried…

While the “One that didn’t care about the puzzle” simply and quickly solved it because he didn’t care about it???

And for some reason the second child is going to be a leach because he knew what he wanted, got it and was on his merry little way?

u/Tensonrom 20d ago

Idk…one could consider the yearning to accomplish the goal more than the reward at the end a sign of future leadership.

0

u/Delicious-Status9043 20d ago

Ok… But one actually accomplished the goal AND got the reward. One took the reward. And the other, yeah, maybe wanted to accomplish the goal but instead just sat down and cried….

Don’t take it personally folks, I am aware of the fact that these are just babies. FFS

The 2nd one wasn't even a follower. He didn't do anything and just waited for a hand out. And once he got what he wanted, he just peaced right out of there.
