Birth order? How do you think it's affected your life?

Youngest..


i have a sister who is 8 years older than me and a brother who is 5 years older than me

i watched my sister being a bitch to my mother while she was going through her teens and i saw how my mother reacted to it, she told me never to do that to her and i remembered and when ever i do anything i think of that, same with my brother, i felt like i couldnt leve home because i was the only one here for my mum, my dad works away... sure my sister says mum was stricter with her.. i cant remember my sister when i ws little she wasnt their.. my brother got me stoned for the first time.. then i pinched it off him all the time, i was getting beet up all the time by my brother which sucked the first time my dad saw this he held my brother against the wall and said you never never touch youre sister again. being the youngest isnt so great either..

 

I know what you mean only too well. Serisouly I got on sale christmas decorations for my first three birthdays. How sad is that? Annoyingly pointy and easily breakable fucking christmas decorations!

It probably doesn't help that my birthday is on January 6th so even now I get christmas decorations or else cheap crap that was on sale after christmas.

My younger brother on the other hand generally gets gift cards or cash since his birthday is before christmas (Dec. 17th) and people know he's saving to buy such and such a computer game.

 

I'm the oldest of four... my twin brother is only 5 minutes younger than me, but he was a grade below me in school so it always seemed like he was not really my twin.

I totally understand that being the oldest sucks. My parents always expected me to be the one responsible for everything, even though my sisters are only 2 and 3 years younger than me, and my brother is my twin. He always got favored in everything, especially birthdays. It was pretty tough because we would celebrate our birthdays together and he would so blatantly get better gifts than me, and it wasn't just childish jealous... I look back on what we got, and I would get a book or two and he would get a gaming console with two or three games...

Also, with the younger sibilings getting through life easier, that sooo seems true for my family. My younger sisters just do so well in everything, sports, school, without even trying. My brother always has such great social skills and seems to be able to charm anything out of anyone. I always have to work really hard to get anywhere.

I also have the problem where my parents got divorced when I went to college (I'm currently at college), so they expected me to support myself entirely, which I did. I think thats fair enough, except when my brother and now sister are going to college, and my parents completely support them... Every time I mention that I could use some help financially, they always brush me off because since I am the oldest I should naturally be the first to leave the nest, but it is so difficult paying for college and living expenses while doing well, and my parents make a lot of money so I know they can help me out...
