Being the first born: Blessing or curse?

    They say being the firstborn makes you a leader, a role model, and sometimes even a second parent. And honestly? It’s true — but nobody really prepares you for the pressure that comes with it.

    As the first child, you’re expected to “set the standard.” You become the family’s experiment, the one who tests the rules, and the one younger siblings look up to (whether you like it or not). When you succeed, it’s normal. When you make mistakes, the whole house shakes.

    Then there’s responsibility. Firstborns are usually the ones asked to “look after your brothers and sisters.” You’re sent on errands, expected to share everything, and sometimes even sacrifice your own wants so the younger ones can have theirs. It feels like you were born with an invisible tag that says: “Assistant Parent.” 😂

    But let’s be real — it’s not all bad. Being the firstborn teaches you leadership, patience, and sacrifice. You learn how to guide others, you get to witness your siblings grow, and sometimes, you secretly enjoy being the boss. 😅

    Still, the weight can be heavy. Parents often expect perfection, society expects maturity, and your siblings expect you to have all the answers. It can be exhausting. But at the end of the day, being the firstborn is both a blessing and a challenge. It shapes you into someone stronger, wiser, and more responsible than you ever thought you could be.

    So, is being the firstborn a blessing or a curse? Maybe it’s both. But one thing is sure: it makes us unique, and no one else in the family could carry the role the way we do. 💪✨

    💬 Fellow firstborns, what’s your biggest struggle (or advantage) of being the eldest child? Share your experience below — let’s compare our survival stories.👇
