Top Ten Things Older Siblings Need to Understand

The Top Ten
1 We didn't ruin your life

You ruined your own life.

2 We didn't ask to be born

I did not! I like life, but I didn't ASK for it.

Stop acting like it was my fault

3 I would be happy without you too

I definitely will be.

4 You may be older but that doesn't give you permission to hurt us
5 Pop is BAD music

...that is offensive. I love pop so much, and I'm an only child.

Not every older sibling likes pop, and you don't have to be the older child to like pop.

pop is better than rock in my opinion

6 Keep it down. It's midnight and you are still partying

As an older sibling I never did this. My younger sibling does and it's the most obnoxious thing. To siblings that do this: you could not be more annoying to someone who already has to put up with you all day than to disrupt the few hours the house is quiet.

That's my brother even though he can be nice she is just so annoying when he is playing his guitar

7 We aren't as bad as you think we are
8 You don't understand us
9 Stop stereotyping us

Yeah. Because I'm ten, doesn't mean I have to be a tomboy. My 12 yo sibling was a tomboy at that time. She says I'm a baby because I'm girly!

10 Entering a room naked and saying that we are siblings IS NOT an excuse
The Contenders
11 We don't need to respect you

My brother thinks I should respect but I don't not in the slightest he thinks that he is my superior I mean just now he forced me to get dressed and finally he hates it when I go into his room or take his stuff without asking even when he is not in the house

12 Just because you're older than us doesn't mean you're automatically better than us.
13 Stop hating us
14 The older sibling is not always innocent

My brother blames everything on me

15 Just because I'm weak doesn't mean you get to knock me out
