Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A

I know what it feels like to be the unfavoured sibling; I was the first and unwanted child and my brother came about six years later, welcomed with open arms.Whereas I could do nothing right, he could do no wrong.BUT, I made a successful career for myself; he turned out to be an under-educated machine minder.You carry on thinking highly of yourself, because 80% is good in anyone's money!
