Being the oldest sibling is both frustrating and enjoyable. Here are the "frustrating stuff".

 

Parents always expect more from you.

"You're the big sister! You have to be the role model for your brother!" Your mother or father will say.

 

You have to hide almost everything you own.

Most younger siblings are always after their big brother or sister's stuff. My brother was like this for a period of time, but thankfully, not anymore.

 

You've been called "bossy"

Whenever you instruct your younger sibling, you're called this. 

 

Sometimes,  you wish you were the youngest.

If you were the youngest, you would have happier, maybe? Maybe? I don't know... Maybe we have to ask our younger siblings whether they enjoy being the youngest. But, I guess there are some difficulties in being the youngest too... hmmm.... 

 

You are always blamed for your siblings' mistake.

You're sibling is disturbing you, and you complain to your parents. But they say,"Oh, he's smaller than you! He doesn't understand! You're the elder one, think of a way to divert him, can't you?!" 

 

This list never ends. Add your own points below. Eager to see them. Also, never forget that you have to be happy to be the older sibling too, you have experienced more beautiful things. I will soon make a post about it.

Might be the parents job, okay. But, if I just ask him to be careful, I'm bossy, pumpkin. Is that fair?

You should most definitely most definitely instruct your little siblings pumpkin!!!!!

They look up to you and will learn better from you!

I’m not a big sister and my mom isn’t even pregnant, but I’m a big cousins to about 10 kids!!! They look up to me just as much (if not more) as a little sibling would! It’s fine to teach and instruct them things, bc with parents, it’s very different!!!

I may and may not be called bossy if I ever get a little sibling, but I’m very good with kids and have never been called that by any young person!!

Im the youngest of 3 kids, and honestly it isnt anything like ppl think. I wish I was older, being the youngest is horrible.

YOU DONT WANNA BE THE OLDEST MAN. Its way tougher than being younger

Also, in my family the whole "youngest always gets their way and the middle child gets overlooked" stereotype is kinda reversed. My older sister (the middle child) almost always gets what she wants, and I (the youngest) gets overlooked. A lot.
