6th of dad, 1st of mum. I think previous posters have said it all. Being the first isnt easy but one has to make sacrifices for others

I am the first born of two girls, female, deaf in my whole family who are hearing - - -all of them.

I am talented and gifted child---computer age while my family are old-fashioned christianity rural age---still lags far behind in computer technology world. They all always depend on me when their computer shut down.

Not easy to grow up as a deaf child in all my hearing family.

Re: Are You The First Born In Your Family? by teeice(f): 6:03pm On Feb 28, 2009
I am the first child for my parents and the first grandchild on my maternal side. it can be fun being first but the responsibilies can weigh you down.
Now i have to start talking about boyfriends with my little sisters and how my dad would kill them if they made the terrible mistake of getting pregnant. lol.
I now say to them "you have to study hard ooo so that yuou will not waste my money"
braaaap to all first borns, its fun

Re: Are You The First Born In Your Family? by prittigrrr(f): 11:32pm On Feb 28, 2009
1st born--second 2 none. Often imitated never duplicated!
Re: Are You The First Born In Your Family? by dayokanu(m): 4:35am On Mar 01, 2009
1st born here e no easy at all,

A lot is expected of you. At age 7 I was expected to take care of my younger ones when I am still a baby myself.

My father had a template of how he wanted me to be in life. He had the career he wanted me to follow. I had no choice but to be a science student because thats what my dad wanted. I cant imagine our last born studying arts because i wasnt given that choice.

I was beaten a lot as the first born compared to my other siblings I can imagine my dad telling our last born to go out and play when during my own time if he saw me playing na flogging.

If my dad enters he must see me with a physics/chemistry textbook else na wahala. I must always be top of my class.

my Dad had a theory on how to raise children and I was the guinea pig whom he tried all his ideas on and he was succesful cos I was beaten into shape. When he tried it with my other siblings, he was not that succesful

When I started working I had to settle my siblings by the side. I knew what they needed and couldnt tell my parents like i want to change my phone, i want to buy latest dresses and my bro wanting to trip his girlfriends all fell on me as they cant tell my parents that.

When i give them money we would all agree not to disclose the exact amount to my parents so  they wont cut down on their allowance.

1st born dey challenging
Re: Are You The First Born In Your Family? by samparian(m): 4:45am On Mar 01, 2009
1st born no easy at all o.
It entails a lot of sacrifices, responsibilities and ofcourse, respect.
I'm the first son and child in a royal family and i'm enjoying the benefits that come with it, though the responsibilities too much, but its fun. grin
Re: Are You The First Born In Your Family? by teeice(f): 3:24pm On Mar 02, 2009
OK guys now that we know how challenging being first child can be, how about we share experiences.
Can anymore share the Good and Bad things that have happened to them as the first child
Re: Are You The First Born In Your Family? by MadMax1(f): 1:11pm On Mar 03, 2009
First born. Four great younger brothers. Love being first born o.  As kids you did as I said or it was Total Annihilation.Don't mind the responsibility so much, though if you're a first born you'll soon notice your parents push more responsibility on you than you'd like.
Re: Are You The First Born In Your Family? by hayaorbah: 1:17pm On Aug 08, 2014
Pls I know this is coming late buh I nid a reasonably answer to this. What about when the first born feels he/she must have a particular responsibility to take on u even wen both of u are on d same level. For examples she's a graduate d second born too is a graduate n she's still feels she will still take responsibility on u because she's d first born. N she doesn't give room for u to enjoy anything except her alone before d next person will be settle. She alwais want to be d first in everything. Is it right? And it happens dat d mother alwais like to talk to second born rather than d first born.
