Okay, we get enough firstborns here.

What are the challenges? What are the positives and negative implications?

Personally, I learn alot from my parents by virtue of being first. I know things other don't know. As we grow up, it happen that our parents also advance in age. Naturally, the first born had to start helping out in checking the juniors. I don't tolerate nuissance and I am not a dictator either. We are all free but at times, you would be needed to solve a problem.

Unfortunately, I know someone who is equally a first born but can best be described as "AGBAYA"! The parents married by force after "accidental discharge" arising from their illicit romance. They have to arrange emergency wedding to consumate the good news. Sadly, the glaring disaffection between the couple was passed on to the firstborn. The couple eventually make it up and have other kids. The firstborn is a waste! The other kids get to reap from their parents new found love while the firstborn live useless life.

The above illustrates how first born can themselves be vulnerable.

[size=13pt]It's never easy both ways, Gentleman or a Lady.[/size]

yes,homies beign the first child could be very challenging,they alwayz want u to succed in everything u do,always want u to be super human and all that,now i want to make it ryhming,though ma pupssy aint said nth yet,but i know deep in his mind he's somehow hopeless amd wondering if i am ever gonn make it rhyming,but i dont care,i 'llfollow my heart,though i've been offered admission to study law,still i can never 4get rpp,so make them fall 4 toilet if they no like am.

Being the first born will guarrante you a lot of opportunities:

YOU WILL BECOME WISER BECAUSE ALL THE ELDERS WILL BE LOOKING UP TO YOU FOr MAJOR DECISIONS REGARDING YOUR FAMILY,

E.T.C

I am the first & i tell u,e no easy @ all.

And If I am? wetin dey?

if we have to  psycho analyse it i guess there were ups and downs even till now but i don't really think about,  how i was conceived does not really bother me,  yeah my parents got married only after but i don't think it affects me,  the way i see it, everything is as it is,  second child, third, fourth, whatever the case may be, even an only child ,  we all have issues,   to me whats hard is suddenly realising one day that you are not a child anymore,  hey but what do i know, [color=#770077][/color]

first borns are also great for sacrifice, maybe thats why the thread starter is asking

Sacrifice for what? Salah or christmas? Or did you mean something else?

Any news for the FIRST born cause i am ONE.

first of eight. its not easy o!! everybody behind you is waiting for you to fall into a trap so that they can escape it.

First on both sides. I get both the juiciest piece of the pie as well as the shittiest end of the stick. I'm complaining; at the same time, I dare not grumble.

1st of the FIRST

1ST from Fathers Side And Mothers side, and 1st out of 5 with 4 sisters. Its not easy i tell u, because as the first a lot is expected of u and u have so many people looking up to you.
Being the first born is a heavy burden. you virtually have to sacrifice a great part of your life for your family, especially when u have a lot of responsibilities. It goes to the extent that u might not even think of settling down until u see that your family is comfortable.

Both my parents were the first born in their families and believe me it was a big issue cos it really had an impact in their own lives as both Got married late due to the fact that they had younger ones to take care of.

So my fellow First Born's, its not an easy task but i know we are all meant to be great cos being first is a Leadership Role.

Yes O! The very first in a family of 5kids. . . all boys.

the best way out of frustration is to be the middle men, i play my games cool,

what about last born that take care of older once

1st and only gyal

I am the first and the only son. So wats the big deal? You just have to sweat it out yourself.

1st one and trying to make my folks smile---it aint easy but, all 1st ones know they have a duty so no hassle

first born and only girl.

where is your starting point for the count and what is the reward.

Well I am in the middle but must say that the success of any family often influenced by the attitudes of the firt born. The firs born can make or mar the family, If the first is a bad egg it is easier for the rest of the family to follow suite.
A word of advice, if you are the firt in your house, you are like a sheperd. others follows.

first and only girl Dad's pet but responsibility sucks i have to be the "perfect" one
