MrEgghead:
The responsibilities that come with being a first child are humongous. I'm not a first child but I'm aware of several challenges my elder brother passed through up to this stage;It's been one challenge to another.

It all started when we were teenagers growing up in the village with our grandma.My brother would do menial jobs just to get money for my Christmas clothes at his own detriment.He was always happy doing this.

His elementary and secondary educations suffered major setbacks because of financial constraints. During my brother's time,we were living in abject poverty. he struggled all the way from primary school to the university level;this affected his performances immensely.

I never passed through all these;mine has been free-flow so far.

I've always prayed for my success to pay him back.

First borns;I pity una!

The fact that I have to act like an assistant mother,take the fall for sins I know little or nothing about,take up most(if not all) of the chores, chief cook, an intercessory and middle man btw my folks and my sisters,play the role of chief adviser, monitoring spirit(snoop on my sisters phones to see if any dickhead is tryna mess with them and call the bluff off if any)....infact,its a full-time job...and fun. I feel blessed to have to do all these .

PS all Eyes are always on me character-wise so I have to act cool and right lest I mislead my younger ones.

GlobalGisting:
Many firstborn Sons are grossly irresponsible and lazy. No offense to the Firstborns, but their problems starts immediately they start having that idea of "I am the firstborn" so I have lots of inheritance. they start fooling around, acting like a king. some can't even wash their own clothes, waiting on their younger ones to cater to their domestic needs like a prince. Many are just lazy and irresponsible and outright lazy so they fail to start life on time and end up trying to kill their Dad.

ststyreal:
Most first sons are so irresponsible that they leave all their responsibility to the second son who probably might be doing better than them, (talking from experience). They oftenly allow pride and ego to destroy the blessings God has bestowed on them. They love to be respected and obeyed but reluctant in carrying out their responsibility towards their younger ones. May God restore all irresponsible first sons and also pray for God to liberate them from every bondage they might have placed themselves under.

In my case, i think my parents made things easy for me growing up so as to prepare me for Assistant Parenting in the future. Me and my immediate younger sis went to boarding school( which was like d biggest level in our ajegunle neighbourhood then). I gained admission faster than my other siblings, got a job and settled in to life by the time i was 24.
Then the whole game started. At a point i got depressed, i kept asking why my parents joined hands to train me and expected only me to train four younger siblings and loads of cousins. It took 8years to get a good hold onto life. I was always broke. My mates then in the bank got good apartments early n even bought their first ride while i squatted with a friend for like 3 years and bought my first car 7 years after most of my mates did. My salary which was quite okay for a young banker then was never enough cos my parents insisted the last two kids went to 'private schools'. Aaah God, i suffer.
Looking back today, we give God the glory. Those hard times pushed me to aquire professional certifications to aim for higher better paying jobs. Now i am better placed, have a family and doing very well by his grace. Though some of my siblings are still draggin feet, which sometimes make me angry considering resources i put in to get then where they are...... I just hope they would sit up before its late. First born no be beans. Nice one op.

UncleJJ:
would'nt know I am 4 of 5.

Can't marry anything less than 1 of 1 , 2 of 2, 3 of 3 or 4 of 4

justiz5:
Op it is not just about the first born but also about the irst son.

In my culture, the first son carries all the responsibility of taking care of the younger ones, even the parents as well. If a lady happens to be the first born, she is free from any of these responsibilities.

At times I just regret why God made me the first son. I can't enjoy my money. I must cater for my siblings' needs first. It's so frustrating.

Olamilekan08:
Being the first and only son of 5 children, I am more of an assistant father coupled with the following:

Mentor
Chief adviser
Scape goat (While younger)
Intermediator
Financial backup
Peace keeper
Fore runner
Solution provider

All these with lots of sacrifices.

I am glad doing these because my younger ones respect me alot, holding me in high esteem for this and we are always happy around each other.

ReneeNuttall:
where do I start from?All I can say is dat I don't pray to be a first born in my next life, and the life after that.The pressure is limitless.

joyberry:
Well am the first daughter, HV an elder bro but its not esy for me oh,like the second mom in d house,unnecessary expectations from your family. What makes mine annoying was I lost my elder sis when I was just fourteen, and that mantle just fell on me.its was like everything they expected from her was now my responsibility to fulfill. Also annoying comparison BTW me and my sis.am this quiet indoors, introverted person while she is d opposite, my mom is always you too dull,not smart, your sis might marry before you and all .To make matters worse,had an issue in school, Hv to start over again while sis is in final ur.double stress from them.and my mom always making remarks about my late sis in my presence, at your age, she was this and that. Its pisses me off,most times I just get depressed and all, but optimistic to God that everything would work out for good. Applied for the Airforce, hopefully its works out for me.

Laveda:
It's well with us

I strive to be better everyday, so much is expected from us

Kdiva:
it's always like that.. plus it's more challenging when you're the first child and a female.

oheni:
chai okpara... shout out to all d last born in d huz

Horlawoomey:
I think we don't have to generalize, every person has their own challenges whether a first child or the last, scaling through those challenges is what makes us successful.

As a first born, things went relatively easy for me because I sat tight right from a teenager, I understand early what it means to be a leader and most times I am very independent.

Being independent doesn't come easy, you have to make some sacrifices and lose so many things, but once you have the end in mind, you'll be progressing in your goals.

School was stress free
Life after school isn't bad either as I got a job 6 months after NYSC, its not paying millions but at least I can pay my bills and drop some things for the younger ones. Being a firstborn is cool as we are most times very intelligent.

#PROUD FIRSTBORN.
