Being the oldest one in your family is the most annoying things you’ve ever faced in your life. Reasons are many, as you were the only target for your parents to follow all the rules and regulations strictly. Become your younger one’s baby sitter for free and always take the blame game no matter whose fault was there. So, being an older one has its pros and cons which you may not like. There are several things which only an older sibling will understand as they’ve experienced all these situations which their younger ones will never face.
As they are the lucky one to be born after them. At times, you maybe feel like getting back into that same childhood again as your younger ones.

Being an older kid in your family, you know very well that how you have been treated all the time. Because you were the first one to be born in your family with whom your parents were parenting with, and so you were given many rules and guidelines to follow and behave properly. It gives a complete incredibly unfair feeling when you were not treated the same way as your younger sibling is getting.
2. You were always supposed to follow all the rules and regulations and be ‘responsible’
