On Father’s Day of 2022, I didn’t have any children. On Father’s Day 2024, I have four little boys. 

We had been expecting the first boy in 2022 — the identical triplets, born earlier this year, were a surprise.

Two months ago, the phrase “eldest daughter syndrome” started to go viral. It seemingly began with a TikTok video from Kati Morton, a licensed marriage and family therapist, that spawned countless tweets, Instagram posts, clubs, hashtags (#BigSisEnergy), think pieces, and yes, even merch. The reason for its virality can be debated, but more likely than not, it’s because being the eldest daughter is a hyper-relatable, shared experience that spans geographies, ages, incomes, and creeds. Morton herself said she felt it resonated “because it spoke to people about a specific issue that they couldn’t put their finger on.”

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
