What do you want to do with first borns? Any positive issue? I am first, what is the big deal?

Being first is a burden and a challenge.

I am the first born last born

Sorry baby---but you are ma "king" any day. So have no worries!

Now that we have first people here can you guys discuss issues affecting first borns? Both negatives and positives. Let see if ideas can be shared and experiences compared.

For instance, being first born requires playing leadership role especially if you are from a large family. This is not a problem if you have parents that groom you for that role. But some parents are careless about first borns especially when they are poor at the on set.

The following are of important when studying firstborns:

1. They are born often while parents are inexperience about child raring,
2. They are often born without silverspoon or at the twilight of their parents' financial stability,
3. They are in most cases victims of unplanned pregnancies. That the couple marry eventually is a relief. Unfortunately many are subjected to pain of suffering for being born,
Let set it rolling and delibrate the challenges facing them past and present.

Talking about the issue of first born, i can't say much but i will add the lil i have seen and observed cos i happen to be a third.

you people shouldn't really have a bias approach towards this thread, although it's true that their is alot of task assingned to being a first born, but at the same time i believe in a level headed family(no offence to anyone) the parents should be capable of impacting the same level of discipline and nuturing to the others irrespective of they being the 1st, 2nd or last.

If am to use my family as the case study here, i have 2 big brothers and yet if i must confess to you, i find it difficult to relate with my age group cos their level of thinking and approach to things in life is way below my capability, it seems as if i am being brawn back.my closest pal is 5 years older than i do and it all balls down to upbringing. since i've been consious of living my folks have been the type that keeps tagging me along with whatever my big brovas are into, their ain't anything like he's still a kid(although, i can ask for a better childhood). i mean, till date my dad use to acknowledge that "kid, you've known more than you should for your age". it's not as if the 1st is still not the leader, but it gets to a stage in a leaders life that before he leads, his followers already knows what he has in mind.

2nd outta 4

Kayhell,
while agreeing with you, I need to let you know that being first born isn't about leadership alone. You can't take away the fact that this crop of people are often exposed to both negative and positive value system. Being in the middle mean being in comfort zone. You compare them at all for many reasons.

One thing about first borns is that, they are first for better or for worst.

I can't agree less with you man! You've said it all.  .  _{Hey, I'm not a first born}. . .guess I'm last child of 5 . I enjoy that position and I'm still utilizing it very well. trust me

First born and last born are special because of their position, they can't hid like the middle men.

They also shares some traits together. I think parents made them all!

Omo, i b first. Bin first no be beans at all.

My challenges for instance:

You must (as much as God gives you grace) provide exemplary leadership, support heaviliy financially especially where parents are not bouyant enough for fees etc. Live life with good morals if you want your siblings to have a positive reference to you.

Its all fun as you see your siblings also grow under your influence to become something in life.

Moreover, that position is largely spiritual and of utmost importance to God.

First!

first and only gal.
enjoyment galore for me !

i think CGIFT is rite,b/cuz being a 1st born is nt and easy task while?,alot of responsibilities  are there 4 u and must work harder to keep the name of the family.

[size=13pt]I like that. First thing first, being first born is like being a super hero so many responsibilities abound. Whether you are fly or dry you must face them. I'm having my own share of responsibilities right now. We are six, the 5th born is always sending me encouraging text messages. I love her so much for that. But, she can also kill my battery with terrible flashing I warned her for that, lucky me she STOPPED it.[/size]

Yes o

I'm third, & i'm loving being in dat middle

@all first borns
I don't envy u guys at all, yes o, u may set exemplary characters, but think o, we watch u make mistakes, but u know what? we never make the mistakes y'all make, we tap from ur intelligence/bright ideas & add to ours, which makes double.

Hurray!!!!! and shout out!!!!! to all the LAST BORNS
But its not so fun depending on your family
peace

yeah, first and last. last on father's side, first on mother's side

[size=13pt]You are one of a two of a kind. BEST OF BOTH WORLDS! [/size]

The two girls pursue me out my mums womb when I started shorting their food ration and taking up the space meant for 3 just for myself. Na im come make 1/3. Avec deux soeurs.

I'm 1st and u know what that means? RESPONSIBILITIES, living up to your parents expectation. Most times it can be so sickening being in charge of things and it can be fun at the same time when scolding my siblings, making them understand they have to follow suit and above all helping, advising and cautioning them so they wont do some silly mistakes like we do. It's fun to be one and it takes the Special Grace of God to wear that crown (or don't you know , being a 1st born is like being a King/Queen)!

Yes the firs one

I am first in a family of six, its quite challenging. God go see us through o! and yes, the Flashing is very annoying!!!
