Older siblings thread

[CrowntailTwitchy57]

Let's face it, sometimes being the oldest sibling SUCKS. Your expected to ALWAYS keep your cool, and take "they don't know any better" as a valid argument. But sometimes, they do or say things that you just can't help smiling about. We can share about those times right here! I'll start:

My mom said that I was going to Grandma's house today, and my 8-year-old (special needs) brother asked "My grandma? Or her grandma?" LOL we both have the same Grandma, buddy!

Ooooh, I hate being an older sibling. I spent a YEAR convincing my parents to get me an itouch, and when my brother ask she says" oh, ok, let's go to the store then" -_-

yeah, especially when my brother goes into my room without permission (pet peeve of MANY 15-year old girls!), one time i came home and almost HALF of the glass things in my room were broken beyond repair... He also started CHEWING, yes, i said chewing, through the cord on my Wii, which i REALLY yelled at him for, not because he may have damaged it, but because it was plugged in and he could have been ELECTROCUTED!

Hrmm, that's tough, I'm make it clear to my brother and sister if they touch my room, I shoot them with an arrow. I'm not a very nice older brother.

lol well if i said that i'd get a blank stare and possibly "yah" cuz he doesn't understand a lot of things :P

I'm older.. I'm the eldest in all my cousins! Its a pain because most things get blamed on you.. Do you know younger siblings don't even have to try to ask for stuff, they always get everything! The older sibling asks for it, pleads and begs, gets on their parents' nerves and finally gets it.. But then they decide that if the older one is getting it, so should the younger! -__- No asking required!! Grr.. And then they'll tell you, why can't you be more like your sister? She never asks for anything??

lol well when i got my first betta, my brother HAD to get one, too!

[diablo13]

Exactly! I get into the fish-keeping hobby, my sister does too! And my brother wants a Pearl-Scale Goldfish!

[CrowntailTwitchy57]

especially when they don't even know how much work they are! what if it gets ick or something? >:(

[diablo13]

I know, right! My sister knows nothing about bettas, she insist on keep one in those stupid .5 gallon tanks! I argued over that one, but my mom took her side.........
