Are you the eldest, youngest or somewhere in the middle.??

[khan_sahib]

I am the eldest in the family and since my childhood believes that life would have been much better if I was the youngest. No worries, no one to look after and so on. My friends don’t agree with me and some of them say that you shouldn’t become the youngest as life is difficult coz every elder person in the family thinks s/he has the right to teach you some lesssons.

Share your experiences and solve this mystery for me if it would be better if I was the youngest.

Smack Bang in the Middle. I reckon the oldest kid always gets the rawest deal ....

In a family of 5, I am number 3: right in the middle. It is actually a very awkward position, because u r not counted as one of the eldest nor as one of the youngest. So u don't get any "privileges"..http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/nook.gif

I'm the baby
Got three older brothers.

You don't want to be the youngest, sure you get spoiled but as you said everyone older than you thinks they have the right to tell you what to do. Yet on the other hand, the older ones make the mistakes and you get to learn from them.
Being oldest, youngest, whatever, problems still exist!!

But, having 3 older brothers is like having four fathers (my daddy included)...which is tooo much!!!

I DISAGREE. Its all about playing up 2 images. If u always act like a Mr or Miss nobody ..... stuck in the middle then that is what u'll become. I'm in the middle, but i'm treated like the youngest by my dad cuz i always act so shareef and saadi infront of him ..... I end up getting more 'privileges' than my youngest bro or sis.

I am the eldest in a family of 5. And yes I do agree that sometimes it really sux. For some strange reason I always end up being blamed for what everyone else does !, what gives ??. But most of the time, I don't mind and being the eldest does have a few perks... but I have yet to find out what they are !

maybe u r right, but as one of my friend said: if u r the eldest, you r your mother's favourite, and if u r the youngest, u r your father's favourite!!!

anyways, I think every "position" has it's goods and bads, but perhaps u notice the bads more than the goods:

i am the eldest of all my siblings, and very rarely do i wish that i was younger. I've had my share of being ladli, and i think i still am in some ways. There's expectations, and restrictions that i must follow for others to follow behind, but i guess it's only for my well being, and also for the ones behind me. I think i do pretty well for being the eldest

[ahmadjee]

Youngest!! and I think it cool!!!
