i have one younger brother, which means i'm the oldest ["oldest"..there's just two of us, lol]. am i right to say that the oldest brother ALWAYS gets it? - the yelling, the punishments, and groundless accusations? at least in my house...
yeah man i was yelled at it seemed like all the stinkin time i got yelled at. She hardly ever gets punishments. And she says its hard being younger.
they always complain about how we get to do everything first. Some of the things we do first are not that great. like the first day of school... man it would have been great if someone like an older brother or sister to be there and help me out. i was totally lost man.
whilst having an older brother can be nice, your always having to perform as well as they did in everything
having an older sister is nice because she has set a perfect example of how not to live. (im not talking about death )
I'm the baby.. And they always got in trouble and I didn't. .. But theres very good reasons behind it. 1 being I watched my sisters grow up and do tons of stupid stuff. I learned what were sure fired ways of getting caught. So I never got caught. 2 being that my parents realized after dealing with my sisters that they really can't stop their kids from doing something (like drugs or drinking or whatever) so by the time I was a teenager, they said "Do what you want".. unfortunately there was always a silent lecture being said of "don't mess up like them, you have nothing to rebel against, so don't. you're the good one." .. which makes talking to my parents about ANYTHING harder cause I'm not supposed to mess up. .. it was really nice when my sister would help me deal with bullys ... =)
i mean, i'm older and it's always me - i'm always wrong, i can't do anything right, i can curse [my parents don't care about that] BUT if i curse my brother [who starts it all] then I'M THE ONE TO BLAME. wtf. i disagree with the ones who say "you're older, get ovet it, don't pay any attention to the stupid things he does". when this kid throws something at me [and he's 12, he knows what he's doing], i'm gonna fucking shout. and yeah, probably say something like "asshole". he shouldn't throw stuff at people! and my mom justifies him! HE KICKED ME IN THE STOUMACH! while i had electrods on for a heart check, and I'M WRONG! i dunno if it's just my parents, but this is unfair. i never want to have kids, i don't like kids [i don't hate, i dislike] and my little brother suck. btw, what's it like being the effing middle kid? i mean, you got both.
ok, commonly the older child will be expected to be more mature and take on responsibilities, thats why it seems like you are always getting flack. Also, growing up though, the older child will often have more or stricter rules to them because it is "trial and error" parenting with the parents trying to figure out what works and what doesnt. The youngest is often the "baby" and gets pampered cause, i dunno why. Often when growing up, opposite to the oldest child, the youngest wil have mabe less rules imposed on them because the parents know what works and what doent by now. Also they may treat them a little looser also with rles again cause tey are the "baby" being a middle child isnt as dramatic as i made it out to be, its just lots of times it seems like people forget about you. My older brother [2nd born in my family] always picked on me when we were kids, but he is still a dink so yeah. But often you wil have to try to tag along, cause the older will be more ok in leting the "baby" come along cause they are the youngest, but doesnt want to hang around his other sibling [cause they are too old to be a baby, but too young to do the same stuff]--for ruels, i duno how it would work, there probobly is a balance, but it just seems like there are more ruls on the middle one cause the baby is being pampered
I got all the shit in my family, I'm the "baby" my sister manipulated my parents and I got nailed something that I would get grounded for a week for (throwing a plastic cup) she would do and then just run into her room and start crying about how "no one understood her" and "her life sucked" and get off scot free, exact same crime as I had just gotten grounded for and she would get off scot free and then fucking gloat about it..... that it complete bullshit right there.....
my brother is older than me by 7 years and i was always the one who got in trouble for things that i didnt even start. like if he punched me or made fun of me for somthin i would always get blamed. and i dont get to do stuff first. grrr it doesnt make sense to me
Im an only child and my mom lets me do stuff becuase she knows im responsible. But my dad is strict and I am very afriad of him. Fortunately I only have to see him on Sunday. Actually I dont think I do, but I do anyways becuase... I dont know..
I am the youngest No complaints about that really. When I was younger, I would blame everything on my sister and then as I got older I got away with twice as much shit as my sister ever did. (Meaning I did twice as much shit and got half the punishment for it ) And then I always got rides from my older sister when my mum couldnt take me somewhere. aha I had it really fuckin good.
i'm the oldest... i never really thought about it ever, nor do i really care all that much... i like my life. .
