So…you’re in love with an oldest child, huh?

Oldest children are the best kind of children. (But, of course, I’m biased because I’m an oldest child myself – of five!) If you have the good fortune of loving/dating/marrying/sexing one of us, congrats to you, good sir! You’re in for a fun ride. Just buckle your seat belt first and pay attention to these safety instructions first, will ya?

1. We’re bossy. Like this song, yo. But for real, most oldest children are used to ruling the roost and telling their pep squad of little bro and sis’s what to do and how to do it. This works until said little bro and sis get old enough and put you in your damn place. But still, the bossiness remains.

2. We’re a little entitled. Our parents gave us every opportunity in the world and fawned over us and took more baby photos of us and were more careful the first time around with us, so we’re used to being treated a little special. Life, and all it’s hardships, have a way of chipping away at this perceived “specialness” but still, we got more attention than the rest of our siblings and it’s something that sticks with us forever.


I expected to see u are MILKERS....dating u is like dating d whole family.and God helps the guy if the woman is from a poor family na over expenses be dt o......

3. We get along great with youngest children. I have no scientific data to back this up, except to say that nearly all my ex-boyfriends (and my current beau) are youngest kids. Maybe they like the authority; who knows?

4. We seek validation. Our parents praised our every move and yes, I know, they really should’ve cut back on that a bit. But as a result of this, we like to be patted on the back and given gold stars when we’ve done something positive. Which leads me to…

5. …We’re over-achievers. We like to be praised, therefore we achieve. It’s almost an addiction. Apologies to younger siblings everywhere who have to live up to their oldest siblings.

6. We take initiative. It’s just what we do. If something needs to be accomplished at work, we will accomplish it – or delegate it to one of our younger siblings (er, employees) to do it for us.

7. We’re great organizers of large groups of people. We can do this with our eyes shut. We’ve been herding our family of sheep into minivans/airplanes/restaurants/etc for YEARS now; corralling people into a semblance of unity should basically be on our resume. In fact, I think it is.

8. We don’t like to share our stuff. Because seriously, our little sisters have been stealing our sweaters/eyeliner/CAR for like, 20 years now and we’re really f*cking over it. Don’t touch our stuff without permission!

People like you are the ones who end up marrying first borns in the end. And what would you do if you have your first child? Throw him in the lake to appease ancestors? Every one can be cursed and any one can run mad for any reason, especially those that are gifted, it really does not matter your birth position. I am the first of five kids and I'm doing financially better than my siblings because I am born again and apply principles of wealth, there is no way they can overtake me except they are more committed to God and more principled. Jesus who is a first born broke every genealogy of curses so I can't be afraid. Don't carry that mentality please before you may lose a good husband

Yes I think you are rite cos that's what obtains in you village. Wait, where is the first born in ur family? Hope he hasn't run mad yet?
Re: 8 Brutal Truths You Should Know If You Are Dating A First-born. by odaniel1(m): 3:58pm On Nov 01, 2015
Its such a big deal traditionally too becoming a firstborn. Had my aunts & uncles telling me how "urgent" it was to leave whatever I was doin here in Lagos because of "rites".
You can't do a lotta things in d way your younger siblings would because you're "firstborn"
You can't talk in a certain kind of way, you can't.....*sighs*
And to think of marrying someone like you again..the whole cycle of "shoulder-leaning", "supporting", "financing", "managing/controlling"...aarrrghh!
As a young boy, I'd literally tried to relinquish my position once I thought about all d stress I had to go thru in Life just by telling him by word of mouth that he was "now first"..lol vry funny.
But here I am today and here's to every first-born like me too;
You were born to cater fr people irrespective of their presence or absence, you can never run from your responsibilities, embrace em n stop complainin of overload! Lolxx
God Bless All Firsts and may d junior ones grow better..Amen!

1trillion likes for ur write-up. Many think first borns are cursed. As a matter of fact, I am the first born in my family, born-again and I am doing perfectly well

how old how you? I'm trying hard not to insult you but yu a typical backward, unreasonable black African! Who is cursing who? Yu re what yu believe. We need to be careful of yu and ur villagers.. Moreover, what's the jealousy for when yu have proper upbringing that emphasizes close relationship between siblings?
