Would you rather be an eldest or youngest?

i am the eldest in my family and what i see is more of responsibilities than anything else.i would like to be the youngest.the pampered ones with all the love care and attention and no responsibilities.

I'm the oldest in my family. If I had a choice i'd still be the oldest. Even with all the responsibilities, theres still the advantage of the control I have over my life. I wouldn't want an older sister like me bossing me around haha!

Of course,I wanna be the youngest.Although,I am the only child in my family,mom and dad pay full attention to me and take care everythging.But I feel so lonely sometimes,so I dream to have a older sister or brother to take care with me or play with in childhood. Franly,my girlfriend is youner 5years than me,therefore I assume all the responsiblity,sometimes I feel a little bittle tired to be such character.

I would be the youngest because parents now know what they did wrong and give a better caring family to you with experience than they gave to your eldest. Maybe they can be a little overprotected but I'm fine with that when I'm young as long as it's not too much.

I will opt to be the youngest. Life is lax if your the youngest. You can easily convince your elders. There is a difference between being the eldest and the youngest only in the intensity of their responsibilities. Being the eldest one has to be a role model for his siblings. He has to deal with all the pressure of expectations from the family.While being the youngest the balancing gesture of the family would take effect.One would have less restrictions,more attention, and less pressure that sometimes results to failures.Yet you will still be given a chance to redeem yourself for your the youngest.

yes you are correct about being the eldes bcos i am..but i would like to be the youngest too for a change..and i want to experience getting all the attention too just like my yougnest little brat here..he gets all his attention..and no matter he would show his tantrumsi could not get that angry bcos he is so darling and if he sense i am already pissed offhe would hug and kiss me amny times until i smiles hmmmp..kids!thanks for giving me opportunity to response in this nice topic of yours..have a nice day!!!

Neither. I'd rather be an only child. I'm actually the youngest of 2. My sister is older by 2 and a half years. She did boss me around a bit when we were growing up, but she snubbed me a lot more. I'm pretty sure she resented having a little sister. The older we got the worse it got. Now we don't talk at all (her choice). Being the youngest isn't great either. Because with being younger we're always compared to our older siblings. So the best bet would be an only child, at least in my case anyway. Happy mylotting!

If given a chance I like to be the eldest. The eldest is always the responsible one, the second in command and the one who will make the decision when the parents is not home. The youngest gets the hand-me-down clothes if any LOL, usually the spoiled one because they are the baby or the youngest.

I am an only child so I never had got to play the I'm older or I am the baby card but I wasn't spoiled as everyone thinks only children are. I have two children of my own aged eight and ten and so far I haven't really had to deal with the two of them fighting over the eldest and the baby. Although they haven't really reached the ages where they are off doing things separately that much but I am sure here soon I will be dealing with it...I think the youngest seems to say it isn't fair more often then the oldest is "jealous" of what the younger one has or gets to do. Aren't mostly all kids anxious to grow up and do all of those adult things....then we all grow up and want to be kids again. I think if I had to choose I would rather be the baby just because you have the chance to have the older sibling that you can look up to and learn from and then no matter what you always have then there to protect you.

Hi careguarden,at first on my youger age i said to my self if only my position as the eldest can change i would rather to be a youngest in the siblings.But when i reach my middle age im enjoying as the eldest.Yes these siblings will asked help noneStop but for me i enjoy it a lot.As if im having a responsibility but my sibling know how to ask me.If i can afford to give that help or not they also understand the situation so far.Yes i prefer to be the eldest in my family.happy posting my friend.

From my own personal experience, I know that there is a huge difference between the youngest child and the oldest child. However, even knowing this, I would still chose to be the oldest child (which is the role that I actually have). Yes, I did see that my little sister got all kinds of things earlier than I did and sometimes I did get jealous about that, however, I was always the first to get to experience new things. When it came to school, I was the first one to enter a grade so the teachers had no previous expectations of me and also I liked being the one that got to shuttle around my younger siblings once I started driving.

I think parents are more harsher with the eldest. Parents are still learning and not really knowing what to expect. Especially during those nice teenage years. By the time the youngest comes around they have already been through it and are much more lenient. I'm the middle child. I like where I am at.

The difference between the eldest is parents entrusted the youngest to the eldest and give the responsibility of taking care of the eldest. I am the eldest of the family and I enjoy being the one who taking care to my brothers and sister, so I'd rather love to be the eldest.

I'm the forth of the five siblings. I have known the benefits of being the youngest for 5 years. I know its the best part compared to the eldest one. I have enjoyed all the good things for a while. I don;t think I wanted to be the eldest on the family. I can't cope-up with the pressure of being the eldest children among a family. Here in the Philippines, the eldest often have to carry out some obligations that are meant to be for parents. For example, he have some obligations of helping his parents in sending the other siblings to school. Taking care of younger brothers and sisters when parents are not home.

I am the oldest, and i wouldn't trade it to be the youngest or the middle child. I always get what i want being the first child. I feel like i am much more lucky than my other siblings. Maybe its because my parents have more memories with me. The only thing that i don't like by being the oldest is the resposiblity.

I'm the youngest and would no way have wanted to be the eldest! As the younger sibling you can get away with so much more! The eldest has to be responsible and parents are normally more stressed with the eldest child to begin with as they are learning. By the time the youngest comes along the oparents are more relaxed as they have gained the experience already.

hey i am the youngest in my family. i like to be the youngest because i get many previlages for being youngest at my home and i also get everybody affection too. so being youngest rocks.

I'd rather be the eldest since I think I was brought up being a responsible daughter. Though in reality I am the youngest from my siblings. I would be happy to replace my youngest sister's role in the family since I think I am more responsible than her. I think there's definitely a big difference in terms of authority (for the eldest) and the understanding being given to the youngest child.

For me there is no different between an eldest and youngest. Since birth our parent give as the same attention in which we are treated fair.

i don't care.being the youngest or oldest is the same for me.my parents treats us the same.
