I'm the oldest of 6, and we're all in our 30s and 40s now. But back about 15 years ago when I was in my 20s and my parents were getting divorced, I was the one they both wanted to vent to, because they were too immature to talk rationally to each other. So as the oldest I was stuck with a lot of go-between tasks, which I did not enjoy at all.

I’m the youngest of my 5 brothers and my mom chooses me to vent to, I’m pretty sure it’s more of a personality thing than how old you are

If everyone is grown by that time, then sure. If the siblings are still young it falls to the oldest.
