What do you guys think about being the first child in the family, the good, the bad, the ugly.

As for me, it's not easy o.

Damn! Don't envy ma big sis. thank God i'm d last. soooooo much fun.

Mixed blessings! Too much expectations---but you get to kick a lot of arses!

well things r quit complicated in my family although i'm a middle child i'm still treated as an older one and to tell the truth its no fun at all a lot of responsibility fall on ones shoulders, just yesterday i was telling my younger sister that i wish i was a younger sister forgetting that i alredy am, but still its nice when people come to u for advice even the older ones,

Its not the best to be cos other of your siblings use you to learn their lessons, correct the mistakes they should have made and if you are a lady and you dont marry on time before others get ahead, that one na the biggest wahala.

Being the first born comes with great responsibility. Am number 3 in my family so I don’t think I have much to worry about.

my hubby is da last born,but still carries others like the first born should

Being the first child is not easy cos I am the first child in my house.
So many expectations.
U want to lead for others to follow.
U r seen as a role model.
Its quite expensive too.
U av to be good academically too cos ur younger ones may bring tough questions as assignment from school and fucking up is bad.
They look up to u, u lead, they follow, they expect u to make crucial decisions, its not an easy task.
You also want them to respect u and so u need to be matured in all ur dealings.
The parents are also there.
In summary its not easy, but am enjoying it though.
Even if I come back to this world, I will still come as the first child.

nyce thread here,

it's gud being da first, me,i'm da first son,dat makes u da man of da house,u take decisions,u dish out orders,desciple any younger offender(but not bullying),

i guess Tawa-Temi has said it all, u rule others & descipline urself too, yeah

being the first child is ok but I will like not be the first next time

Whether your parents are rich or poor, you are still expected to perform as the first child.

I am the first born child of the house. I make sure i am right ahead and on-time.
I get all the insults and abuse when my younger mess up.
I remember one faithful day when we were still little. My dad had visitors so we use that opportunity to go out of the house to play. He had warned me earlier not to allow my younger ones to leave the house. I didn't adhere to his warning and so when i stepped out, every other person to the last followed me. I was playing and telling my younger to go back to the house.
My little sister mistakely injured a girl and the mother of the child carried the crying girl to our house.
My father was mad, and he was shouting my name.
When i got to the house, he told my younger ones to kneel down, and asked me to lie face down to the chair, and the next thing, was gbozaaaa, on my behind.
From that day, I learnt to discipline myself because i then noticed that whatever i do, the little ones are watching and copying and doing without asking why (they feel the eldest are the wisest and never make mistakes).

I always use myself to set an example to them now, and they are proud to have me as a big sister, but the journey still continues.

It great but not easy. I am the oldest girl and not married but my younger sister is. And boy do I get the insults rained on me. My mom tells me i am not setting a good example by not getting married. Older women say that I should be ashamed of myself because my younger sister has married before me.

When i was younger and mommy was not home I become the second mama. I have to be the responsible one. I set the example for others to follow, and when my younger one do wrong it 90% because I am not setting the example. But I love it I usually do everything first and don't have to be label "follow follow" like my younger ones. No hand-me-downs!

Marry me?

thats sad! these kinds of situations push many women to marry drunkards, wife beaters,useless men and some even meet their death all in the name of answering "mrs"

but please dont let the pressures make you accept to marry just about anything that has a third leg

@ topic


what is the topic again can't even answer it in a yes or no format chei, so na aproko i come do for hia

@Seun

Thanks for the offer. But I think I'll pass.

being first means your a natural born leader, good stuff, but there are cons as well, like if your born to over-bearing parents, as I was, who were themselves first borns, OMG your made to feel like the fate of the world is on your shoulders. I mean the pressure was ridiculous, still is, infact it got so bad I left the country, but my fiance is a last born, so we balance each other out, he's more of the 'enjoy life while you have it type', so it works.
