Being the youngest and oldest :/

iambballplayer • 23 July 2012 at 2:43 AM

Being the youngest isn't fun for me. I always get yelled at for nothing and i have nothing to do. I wanna speak for myself but i don't wanna disrespect my elders and i love them too.

Being the oldest when younger kids are around still sucks. They blame you and they make me go crazy. But they're still learning so i understand. It's just sometimes it makes me mad at how younger kids get everything.

I guess its just life. Anyone else face the same problem? Or one of the above or a different situation?

Nah bro, you got it wrong. Being the middle child is the worst! The youngest always gets away with everything & gets what they want, the youngest doesnt have to do anything & they are always payed more attention to. The middle child takes all the blame, and when the oldest is away the middle one does everything, we are barely payed attention to because we arentthe first or the last : P

@faybaybay
In my family its like the opposite of what you said. I'm always blamed, yelled at, and never get anything. I also get bossed around by everyone in my house.

I am the youngest
I can get away from things only because of my personality
I don't do anything crazy but when my older sisters fight and get in trouble I get into trouble for not stopping them -_-

Mind you I'm only the youngest by 2 minutes XD

@iambballplayer
when I look after my baby cousins my twin and I are the oldest there. Our cousins get into trouble all the time but they are learning to ask to so things first *finally*

@iambballplayer
You've got some right there. Although I'm in a house full of kids right now, and now to mention, I'm the oldest. I live with my brother. He tends to tease me a lot... But then, its weird. I wished I was the youngest. Its like you get to experience everything first. Then, other youngsters around you ask things about it. I get blamed for a lot of things. *Looks at bro* But I don't say anything. Blaming is just simply a way of getting out of trouble. I'll stand by my siblings, forevermore.

I know it is not fun to have a brother or sister, older and younger. I myself do not have any brothers or sisters, but I feel the way how older brother/sister thinks because my grandmother really treat me and my cousin differently. Not talking about home arguments, but like every time when my grandmother talks to other people, she said that I am bad and my cousins are good. She said that my mother does not know how to teach me because my mother is just a "dumb". (Seriously, I couldn't believe a grandmother could be like that). She said that I don't know languages, even home language, or English? How can a baby have better skills than me? Brilliant! My cousin does not even know "apple" and she is better than me in everything. Brilliant!!!

@Iambballplayer I'm an older sibling. 😱 I'm 14 months older than my sister, and we're almost complete opposites. My sis has trouble with learning, but she's athletic and likes to be with different people. I, on the other hand, am an honor student, I struggle with my weight, I can do things independently, and I prefer to be around the same people if I'm being social.

My sister is always picking on me, and, naturally, begging for my attention. I've been with her more lately, because... It's pretty harsh around here at the moment. o.o
We can't go out anywhere on weekdays unless one of my parents were to take the day off, so my sister always wants to be around me. She's going to a birthday party tomorrow, so I'll be all by myself, alone, at the house. 😊

I'm also the oldest out of my friends. I can't complain about that. 😋

My sister and I are the youngest out of ALL of our cousins, though, so that gets annoying. The cousin closest to my age is turning 14 on December 6th, while I'm turning 13 on December 7th. ._. We're exactly a year and a day apart.

@faybaybay is totally correct 😋
I'm number 5 out of 6 kids so I'm in the middle
My brother who's the youngest is so spoiled by the family & gets away with everything haha.
And my older siblings are always doing things I can't do because I'm younger. Like the three oldest just went to Peru a couple months ago & go visit each other all over the country.

spikaya • 24 July 2012 at 11:16 PM

I'm a middle child and I'm pretty much the center of my mom's world... Ugh... I'm 17, not 7.

And don't ask about what they expect out of my schoolwork. Eek.

@iamballplayer - Kind of weird.. Usually, the youngest was being treated like a bit of spoiled by family and the oldest gets jealous (Well if you're just 2 in the family). Well for most usual, it's the ELDEST and the Youngest who had/ got their parent's attention or in the family. 😊

dionaea • 25 July 2012 at 9:57 AM

@snowrosehell I agree, that's how it is in our house, my younger brother gets away with sooooo much I ALWAYS got in trouble for. Really sucks, he's so spoiled...

Being the eldest isn't fun either by the way, cause parents tend to be extra strict and over worry about everything. And they expect you to give a good example and always keep your composure, no matter how boneheaded and lazy your younger sibling is. Being eldest is overrated.

@iambballplayer I'm the youngest in my family. Most of the time I get it my way, but sometimes I get blamed. It depends what family you have though. C:
