Oldest sibling

i find it very true especially if the oldest sibling was being spoiled by our parents. he won't listen to what i say and he just only listens to himself and to his friends

I am the youngest in my family but I can say that usually i'm the bossy one in the family. I also get to be bullied and always the Gofer (go for this and that) but I usually has the management of the household. I think it is because in our family we believe in each and everyone's capabilities and expertise, we tend to lean on what we do best. My sister is the most diplomatic one so she is the neutralizer of the family. My mom is the listener and due to her age and being sickly she pass the household management to me. I'm more the take charge type. I have specific order I want to be followed. I can run things without so many trouble. That is why I think I am now the bossy ones in the familyl.

yes, I am an older sibling, and I was not necessarily Bossy but I would be protective over my younger sibling a lot. She was the biggest scaredy cat ever and we talk about it a lot. I see it in my own kids too I am hoping that my oldest does not feel the pressures I did with my younger sibling. I try really hard to not put that on her. She is just a little mom like I was too. I will try to make sure she is not put through the responsibility that I was put through but I will say this. I would not be the person today if it were not for what I went through growing up.

I am second in line of my siblings. My oldest brother was not that bossy. I would have to say that I was bit more bossy. I have three children and its hard to tell which one is more bossy. My second does like to start trouble though.

i am the oldest sinling of five, and you dont offend me. i think i am bossy... har har har. and when i say something my sibling follows. well seriously it is not being bossy. if you respect your older siblings then it will not be bossy its just you respect them. i dont boss around them, i dont tell them to pick up their toys (when we are younger) or clean the mess that i created, that is bossy for me. i clean my own mess. maybe if you ask my sibling if i am bossy they will answer sometimes... and that is during when they are quareling, then i should step in.

I'm not sure I'm the next to oldest there is five of us and I think givin a pole my siblings would say I'm the bossy one.

I think it's not being bossy. If you think your brother is bossy, you are wrong. When you were young, your brother is asked by your parents to do all those chores including taking good care of you sometimes. The eldest will be responsible for you the time when your parents are no longer around, so respect your elder brothers or sisters. If they asked you to do something, do it heartily and you will find that it is on your advantage. Of course, if they asked you to do something wrong, you can dispute and may not follow!

I am the oldest sibling, I was bossing around with my younger brother before we both got married, now the tables have changed and he bosses me around. I got married to the youngest sibling of the family and the oldest brother is not bossy, but for his age, we all give him the respect. He is not that much of a out spoken person, but he loves all of his brothers and sisters and their children too apart from his own daughter.
