Anyway, It’s TRUE.
Most MALE FIRSTBORNS are usually erratic and unwise. If you do an observational study yourself especially within your neighborhood, you will discover that the description matches what you put up there.
This is why most Parents will always go for a FEMALE CHILD as firstborn rather than a MALE.

Maybe because they were not fed with the right nutrition needed to ground and simulate them mentally cos both parents were still struggling to find their feet.

The myth is the first child is the one that clears the mother's womb of resident dirts which clogs up a part of his brain, resulting in impaired judgement as he goes through life.

Apparently that's what it is- A myth.

I dont believe this saying.

Children are meant to be raised. They come blank. If they is any character flaw on the part on any child, blame the parents or whoever raised that child.

In a family be they rich or poor where they put in all they have in properly raising their children there is nothing like unwise first borns whether boy or girl..

Most parents, foster parents and care givers have failed this children and still put the blame on them....

So bad your mum's first child is unwise. He no just get sense so it becomes proper for you to generalize.

Come to think of it, if the phenomenon is ubiquitous in your area, it definitely means your community is suffering from 'First-child-retardation syndrome'
Be happy, this sickness/virus is relative. So, it doesn't happen everywhere.

From your narrative up there, first born are said to be unwise because they fail to teach their family members to be independent of them and train their younger ones to be independent as well.

I could sense envy, but not so in my case, i always come down mean on my siblings, to plant their own tree and have their own island. Whenever a first born came into wealth, he stands like a bull dog in the family, when the younger ones came into money, the throw about their wealth around like cad bury sweets

I love your contribution, mostly it comes from the parents inexperience in impacting proper training to their child especially the first. but as time goes on, the mistakes will now be corrected subsequently on the other children..

The first child born to a family is more likely to be clever than their brothers and sisters, a new study has suggested.
New research carried out in a German University found that the eldest child in a family has a higher IQ than their younger siblings due to the level of attention they are bestowed in their early years.

Scientists discovered that parents make a greater effort to encourage learning with their first child than they do when it comes to their second, third and fourth children.

The researchers found a difference of 1.5 IQ points between each sibling in a family after taking into account three national surveys which documented the IQ results of more than 20,000 people.

Lead researcher Dr Julia Rohrer said: “One theory is that following children “dilute” the resources of their parents.

“While the firstborn gets full parental attention, at least for some months or years, late-borns will have to share from the beginning.

“Another possible factor is described by the tutoring hypothesis: A firstborn can “tutor” their younger siblings, explaining to them how the world works and so on,” she said.

“Teaching other people has high cognitive demands – the children need to recall their own knowledge, structure it and think of a good way to explain it to younger siblings, which could provide a boost to intelligence for some firstborns.”

As the first born, you do not owe or own them a living, put it point blank on the table for them to see. Tell them to plant their own tree, look out for their own Island. Come in when the have desperate need, if you can,and learn to say NO even if it will hurt. Stamp that authority in your family.

I blame your parents for that...

They failed to teach your younger ones the value of respect, then along the line, you lost your confidence and self worth .
