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.

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,

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 because 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 because being first is a Leadership Role.  |

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.
