These older siblings fromAsk Reddithad it rough.
Saying that you, the older sibling, need to bethe bigger person.
3.Bearing the brunt of parents stress and being an unpaid therapist.
God & Man
8.I guess not having someone to turn to for help that will always be there.
When I started high school I had no one for the longest time.
9.Being the executor of our parents wills.
10.Being constantly snitched on.
11.The pressure to always be fine.
There was very little room for me to evernotbe anything but put together and composed.
Ive had to have my shit together since I was like 8.
I learned long ago to not ask for help.
12.Everything was always my fault, always.
Even if it wasnt me that did it, it was still somehow my fault.
13.Being forced to attend every major family event so parents could compare whose kids were more successful.
Hell, I STILL feel like that.
I need to learn to be okay with who I am instead of trying to out-best my siblings.
15.Hearing the fucking You are his hero speech from your parents.
I dont know why I hate that so much, am I the only one?
17.I get compared to soooo many people in the family.
Its the worst thing ever.
Why is he so taller than you when he is the youngest?
Why are you the way you are?
19.I had to buy everything on my own.
Game Boy, laptop, car…
20.Unpaid babysitting for hours on end.
22.Apparently me, an older siblings is meant to set example for my younger siblings, why?
I didnt have children, all I did was got in trouble for shit they did.
23.Being left in charge, but without any actual authority.
I was supposed to be watching them, but thats all I was allowed to do.
I could tell them to stop breaking the rules, sure.
They wouldnt listen, and that was also my fault.
24.Nothing was ever the younger ones fault.
It was always my fault because I was older and should know better.
So every fight he started I got in trouble for.
Even when I didnt reciprocate the actions.
26.Being the test dummy for rules in my teenage years.
27.All the responsibility without the authority or privileges that should come with that responsibility.
28.I remember having to help my younger siblings with their homework which really meant doing it for them.
29.Knowing more about my parents than my siblings ever will or understand.
30.Having to beat hard bosses and levels for my younger siblings.
Learn to play you scrub.
