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.
1. PARENTS OUT, BIG SISTER IN
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.

I’m the eldest too and yeah, ordering around is so good that I even question myself am I that lazy or what. Nonetheless, the responsibility is there but I never thought it as I am responsible but more like I have to do this because I want to care for them. Like be success etc etc, I like it that I can get the chance to show my siblings how far they can go. Your choice of gif is so on point.
I tried to find the suitable gif to match the post.
I do order my siblings around but I do my job too lol. You have such a great mindset as a sister. If I were your siblings I’d want to be like you xD
Hahaha, i feel yaaaa. Me the first too. Its kinda amazing to be number one but sometimes its tiresome.
eldest children unite!
