It may seem as if there is nothing better than being the elder sibling . But unfortunately… you should know that being an elder sibling comes with a lot of responsibilities. Here are 12 struggles only an elder siblings can relate to.

1. Your parents were always more strict with you

2. You become a free babysitter

3. There is a lot of pressure on you to “set an example” for your younger siblings

4. Everything is your fault

Your sister fell down it’s your fault. Your brother is playing games it’s your fault. IT IS ALWAYS YOUR FAULT!

5. You are the one who ends up doing all the house chores

6. Your parents expect you to be “the responsible and mature one”

7. But when you act mature or responsible, you are accused of being bossy

8. You cannot fight with your siblings because you are the eldest and you have to behave well

9. And you have the burden of being a full time bodyguard for your siblings

10. You hate that phase of life when the little devils follow you everywhere

11. And watching your siblings do all the things “banned” is really annoying!

12. But when your sibling does something right or reaches a benchmark your chest puffs up with pride.

I love my younger siblings and would do anything for them, even though they’re very annoying.
