Growing Up With Siblings | Being The Eldest Has Its Perks

Once Upon A Time, Malaysia

being the eldest

Sometimes being the eldest is not so bad.

I used to hate being the eldest. Scratch hate. I detest it.

Being the eldest comes with great responsibility. My parents would expect just the best from me nothing less than an A when it comes to school grades and frankly speaking, those expectations wore me down sometimes.

Well, not anymore.

Growing up and maturing a little bit I can see that being the eldest helped me shaped my personality and of course, the advantages of being the firstborn is not something that I could deny.

Growing Up With Siblings | Being The Eldest Has Its Perks

1. PARENTS OUT, BIG SISTER IN
eldest perks

If my parents were outside (working etc), the one who rules the house is me. For start, the remote control is in my hand, the privilege of sitting in the comfiest and strategic couch near the tv is mine and of course,

basically everything.

2. ORDERING THE YOUNGER ONES AROUND

I couldn’t imagine the situation where I’d have a brother/sister ordering me around to do chores. Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl.

3. THE WINNER IS ALWAYS MOI

 

Obviously.

4. HAND-ME-DOWN WHAT?

I could think of many more advantages but I’m so lazy right now so maybe you guys could add some.

Here my mandatory pleading puppy eyes emoji, I mean gif.

  1. I’m the eldest too kak Rasya! Heheeee ^_^ but, what the most thing that worries me was my results and definitely I’m not the one in my siblings yang selalu got good result (bukan selalu but ada juga)..champion tu champion ni and etc…duh -,- but yeah I admit that sometimes being the eldest is not so bad..sebab I’m the one who controlling everything muahahaa *evil laughs* and I’m extremely happy that I’m the only girl in my siblings yeaaaayyy! :v so that, everyone in my whole family will appreciate me! well,not everyone dilahirkan sempurna kan Kak Rasya? As long as kita jangan give then there’s always a chance. :’)))

    1. Omg, the only girl in the family. *minus your mum of course*

      yeah, being the eldest is hard when it comes to the unrealistic expectation to do well in practically everything just because I need to set an example to my other siblings.

      Don’t give up too syara!
