What The Youngest Child Really Sees

Ever notice how the youngest child can read a room faster than anyone else? We dive into that last-born radar—why being the baby can feel like a front-row seat to family cracks no one wants to name, and how age gaps turn one address into multiple childhoods. With three youngest voices at the table, we compare tight-sibling clusters to 12-year spreads, swap stories about old-lady babysitters and marathon TV nights, and unpack the odd mix of freedom, invisibility, and attention that comes with the “baby” label. Chrisy and Kerry dive into this topic of the youngest child inspired by a speech by Jordan Peterson.
