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.

my eldest brother never did something like that; he never ordered us younger siblings around to do this and that 😛 i like being the younger one (although not the youngest).
your brother reminds me of my friend’s brother. He’s like so kind *according to my friend* and would always try to help their siblings but on the other hand, the second born ‘the eldest sister’ is so scary lol.
Anak tunggal pun samaaaaa macam the eldest (bila balik kampung ramai-ramai dengan cousins kenit berderet). Bhahahahaha ??
bila jumpa cousin meriah kan kumpul ramai-ramai. lamanya tak balik kampung. semua dah besar berkahwin dan bearank pinak hahaha
