Worst Things About Being the Oldest Sibling

It's true! My sister is five and she knows she can do whatever she wants to me because she's four. Like for example, I'm playing on my tablet, and she runs in, snatched it out of my hand, and runs to mom. When I go to get it she says "MOMMY! HE WONT SHARE! " so I have to let her use it. But if I try to play with her she won't let me. And then dad tells at me because I supposedly, "don't share." When he is RIGHT THERE, IN THE ROOM WITH US! And if my parents tell her to give my tablet back, she fake cries (obvious to me, not to my parents) until she gets her way.

Ugh, my little sister is SO ANNOYING FOR THIS! I also have a little brother, but we're only a year apart so...anyways, back to my sister. I was playing Mario Kart one time with her, and I kept winning. Then she runs upstairs and pretends to cry and says "Mommy! My sister won't let me win at Mario Kart and that hurts my feelings! " And of course, I get in trouble.

My little brother hogs the bathroom every morning. I complained to my parents about it, but they said, "Oh, be quiet. He's younger than you." - mayamanga

Yep.

I hate being the oldest sibling. This sentence explains our life. Not cool at all. - LightningBlade

I bet if my parents were inventors, and they needed a test assistant, that would be me. It's always me. - SpyroZap99

I don't see a big deal out of these. I'm the oldest sibling but I don't give a crap. - bigmike137

I love my parents and all, but I hate it whenever it seems like they put more pressure on me in terms of growing up and going to college more than my sister, who is 10 months younger than me. - ModernSpongeBobSucks

This means that you get micromanaged, but your sibling doesn't when he/she gets to your age - Kaboom

First off, I'm the second oldest sibling, but mentally the oldest. I guess I'm lucky I have my own room, but my FOUR siblings are constantly tossing their garbage in my room, and then lying about it. Also, my six year old brother kicks me in the stomach. Mom doesn't give a crap. I call him mean. Suddenly I'm the big stupid jerk. GOSH

I have to willingly let anyone else in my family use my things, even what I bought with my money. My brother gets to keep his stuff, and even OTHER PEOPLE'S STUFF to himself. - Kaboom

I have my own room, but my little sister barges in every day for 10 minutes to pick out clothes. If I go in her room, for bras, underwear, pajamas, or whatever she will scream! My grandma got me a doll when I was little, my sister saw it one day and took it, put it in her room, and officialy made it hers. If I go in her room and lay my hands on it, she screams, even though it's mine.

If my brother smashes my tablet in front of my mom, I pay for it. If my mom breaks my tablet, I pay for it. If my brother puts his tablet on a drone, flies to 2,000 feet, then "accidentally" turns the drone off, my mom pays for the tablet, the drone, and damages from the explosion that will inevitably happen. If my brother throws a laptop at the T.V., and my mom sees it, I get to pay for it. - Kaboom

My sisters can break all my crap, and my mum pretends it never happened. If I make the smallest knick in something, I get to pay all the charges. It sucks. I get to pay for all my own crap too. Thanks, mum. - SpyroZap99

You have to share your toys (if you even have any), your phone/tablet/pc (that you bought with your money), your lego creations, your books, your halloween candy, even your BATTERIES! - Kaboom

I own nothing anymore because this is so true. - SpyroZap99

And your secret - BorisRule

I remember this from my own childhood and now see and hear it happening in other families as well. I'm the oldest child and have a brother. Whenever you attacked your sibling, self-defense or not, you were committing a crime against humanity, according to your parents and other adults. If younger sibling did it, that was only cute and adults thought the older child, you, probably deserved it, too. When my brother and I were little children, our mother asked us why we always fought. My brother said it was because I didn't obey him because he didn't obey me because he didn't want to, so technically it was his fault. However, our mother just laughed it off. I don't think her reaction would have been the same if the roles had been reversed.

I swear to god my sister has beaten the crap out of me more times than I than I can count, but the moment I kick her back, I'm sentenced to house-prison. Being the oldest sibling is downright miserable. - SpyroZap99

Really true! Whenever my brother annoys me and I get angry at him my parents tell me that I'm always angry but when I annoy him they just yell at me for doing that. Damn

Exactly! I'm the 2nd oldest and I always get in trouble just because my siblings are being an ass and need proper beating because they are spoiled. - KianaLexi

So true. I can't remember how many times I've been chewed out by my parents for not being the 'perfect role model'. If you want me to be the perfect role model, then you should have taught me when I was young mom

I am the youngest but TECHNICALLY the oldest since my sister acts like she's 5 all the time and I don't, but this is still accurate - FullmetalHeart

They tell me this all the time, I have two younger sisters. But who cares? I simply ignore this expectations from my parents and I care about my dreams. For example I want a pet, my parents don't allow me,but I get it and make them accept it

Extended family gives your (younger) sibling more Christmas presents than you. Even if you're lucky enough to have parents who give you some "extra" packages to bridge the gap, some relatives come over on the day after Christmas and give your sibling some more gifts.

I know I should be thankful, but what use is something that will break before I take it out of the package? Kind of like getting nothing at all... - Kaboom

I hate that! I wish I can kick their ass every time they tell on me for stupid reasons! - KianaLexi

Really true! I mean mine is horrible because of this reason

That's so me now. - Svampbob164

I don't know about this... I have never heard a story about a younger sibling bullying the older one. There isn't even any reason for the younger one to do so, yet the holder has reason and power over the young one. - AnonymousChick

My younger siblings call me ugly, fat, stupid, dummy, etc... They don't realize that they are the stupid ones, they are hypocrites. I love how stupid my younger siblings are. - KianaLexi

I don't see that as a problem, me and my sis get along sometimes, and I'm the one that tease her so I'm fine with this one.

Lol, true for me - Oliveleaf

This exact thing happened when I was going to an amusement park with my best friend, my brother was asking her stupid ass questions and he was hitting her so I slapped him to get him to stop and my best friend laughed, it was so funny because of her! - KianaLexi

Uh hello? They're YOUR kids. You should be one the one looking after them. Us older siblings are not going to spend our lives cleaning up their messes. - TwilightKitsune

Seriously, my sister is almost nine, brother just turned ten, and my other bro is almost 13! And they still can't clean up after themselves, then I'm blamed for it and have to clean it up. - LostDream258

I say whatever I want to my younger siblings, I hate them so much... I don't care if I get in trouble, it was worth it. - KianaLexi
