I don't know about that. I think the dynamics of families can change so much during the rearing of children that responsibility and stress can shift, depending on who happens to be home when the stresses hit. For example, a firstborn child, who has been in an intact family and goes away to college, while siblings who are younger are still stuck at home, will have less responsibilities and expectations (I would guess- after all I'm not spending a whole bunch of money doing lame ass studies of things) then the kids still at home who are left to deal with the carnage of the breakup of their parents' marriage. My point is that I suppose the hypothesis might work for "the typical" family- maybe, not even really sure about that, but as we know, there aren't many of those. And families in transition tend to put emotional loads on whoever is available, i.e. taking up space in the family at that moment.

Sounds like a good way to sell a book though.
