Benefits of older siblings

Maybe I don’t belong but maybe I do

Growing up Sammy always thought that he didn’t belong to the family he was born in. He was the youngest of four kids; all his older siblings were a lot older than him, Jim the oldest 35, Ranjith 33 and Deborah 31, Sammy was just 23. He wasn’t allowed to go out and do anything that his siblings did; he would constantly get the reply “when you’re our age then you can do this.” For this reason he was one of those kids who couldn’t wait to grow up. As each year passed he knew that he’d be a grown up soon and be able to do things his older siblings did.

Sammy soon realized that being the youngest had a lot of perks as well. While he was still in school all his siblings had graduated and were working. Since they didn’t have a family of their own, his siblings would spoil him rotten and buy him things. Not just that but the clothes he’d get from his brothers were the best! There wasn’t a shortage of clothes and Sammy never repeated an outfit. He was constantly getting things handed down to him and new things were also bought. Christmas was the best for Sammy; he would get presents not just from his parents but from his three older siblings as well. The oldest Jim was constantly coddling him and Sammy had no objection.

Perks of being the youngest

There are so many things that you could learn from your older siblings. Sammy’s taste in music was eclectic and some were ahead of his years. While kids his age would listen to Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Coldplay, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran. But Sammy enjoyed the classics like The Doors, Queen and The Beatles, mostly music from the 70s up to the 90s.

Sibling rivalry

The new baby sister

Priyanka was the youngest of four kids with two elder brothers and one elder sister. There was quite an age gap between Priyanka and them with the oldest being 12 and she only a baby. Being the youngest, she was spoiled rotten, especially by her two elder brothers, who saw her as their little princess, they should protect.

Priyanka grew up being the apple of not only her father’s eyes, but her brothers as well. With all the excitement of a new baby sister, the other one wasn’t given as much attention as she was accustomed to.

As the years went on Priyanka’s parents noticed a considerable difference between the way the boys treated her and the way her sister did. Trupti (the sister) wouldn’t take Priyanka anywhere with her and wouldn’t spend time with her. But the boys on the other hand, adored her and took her to most places with them.

Big brother and baby sister

Priyanka grew up a well-adjusted child, even though she wasn’t getting the older sister’s attention much. Of course, she did have the older brothers’ relationship that can only be described as magical.

Not all kids grow out of the sibling rivalry phase and sometimes it can be very difficult with both of them vying for the older people’s attention. It can cause many conflicts between the two siblings and disrupt a peaceful surrounding.
