It certainly gives you a different perspective than some people. How long have you had those friends? 'cuz my close friends were made in High School and College when I was busy trying to learn what having a family was like. Your family may have been the same for them.

Don't say "differently nurturing." My mother sucked at it. "Most mommies will tell their little babies that they love them even when they're mad but I'm not most mommies and if you don't stay out of my way I will fucking kill you." My father, apparently, started referring to his wife as "the youngest of his three children" about the time I turned eight. Didn't find that out until last year. So don't gild the lily. Some people are shitty parents.
It teaches you to read people well. I would say that the one common feature all my friends have is honesty and trustworthiness.
