Do you feel protective of your younger siblings?

good that you have your siblings, i am an only child so i have no idea how it feels to protect, but from my experience i got to protect my younger cousins

wonderful,hey guy,could you like to make friends with me

Hi, You are such a good sister and I believe your other sisters feel grateful to have you as their eldest sister. I can understand that being the eldest in the family, you have heavy burden and that is why you was away to other city to get a job. Since your sister has told you frankly on what she has done,then advised her not to repeat again and start her new life. She was still young and her way is still long to go. Never drag herself into anything that may bring harm to herself. Just wondering is your parents stayed with all your other siblings? If yes,then you can ask your parents to pay more attention to her.

My father has 6 kids, five boys and one girl, which is me, lol. I am the middle child. He had three kids with my mother. I am the middle as well. Me and my two brothers are all 1 year apart so we are very close. I moved to another state with my husband being in the service when i was 18 years old so its been 6 years since I seen them. I hate that we have drifted apart because growing up we were stuck like glue. They have both gone down bad roads and my younger one is incarcerated. I hate that I wasn't there to help guide him a different way. I and happy that I have helped my older brother into college and this is his first semester. But yes. I do feel the need to be protective of them and be that scolding parent at times as well.

Hi there. I'm the youngest of the family. We were 8, 4 girls and 4 boys.All of my older siblings are very protected. They take care of me since i was little until now that i'm in 20's. If i went to my friends house they gonna ask me a lots of things before they letting me go. Like, who with us, what will gonna do.And i must be at 7 p.m at home. I know that it weird but its true.

I'm sorry that you felt bad about your sister's peer pressures. But it's a good thing you were there to discuss that issue with her. To answer your question, I am also the eldest and I feel protective of my younger siblings. If there are bullies or dumb boyfriends around, I feel that it is my responsibility to tell them how to deal with those things. They listen to me, which is great. They also always come to me when they need help. We're very close, us siblings. As for the issues on drinking (and possibly smoking and whatnot)... we're a very okay-with-anything family. As long as no one becomes violent or dumb or destructive or excessive, it's fine. My younger brother wanted to try smoking, so I bought a pack. We smoked together and he realized it was not for him. It's good that I was the one there with him, when he was making that decision.

It's normal to feel protective. Hopefully she will keep you up to date with what she is doing. I am the oldest sibling, so I know how you feel.

I am the oldest of four children. i am close to all of my siblings. it hasn;t always been that way. i feel closes to my youngest sibling. She is my only sister and my best friend, I feel most protecytive of her. I have always felt that my two brothers could always look out and take care of themselves. Even though my sister and I both have families of our own, i still feel the need to watch over her.

no. My younger sibling is already 26 years old. He is of age already for me to still be protective of him. He can take good care of himself already.

I don't have the same experience as you do but yes I am protective of my siblings.

I care a lot to my siblings. I am 2nd to the eldest of 5 children. I do always check if they are ok. If they are hurt, I make sure I tend to them. If they have problem, I 'm trying to assure them if not help solve their problem.

Yes, being the elder of the two...yes i do feel protective of my younger sibling...I generally do so by keeping a tab on his activities...we stay at different places so there is no direct contact but yes we do keep in touch over the phone and discuss on some issues and i generally check on him as to what is going around, what he would be doing the next week or in coming days and so on...i like it and even he does not bother me talking to him in this manner...there is a very healthy relationship between us..

ya,i take take care my younger sibilings.because they need to do something with other help.so automatically we go and do the help frequently.it is very helpful for our life.because we take practice more lessons to be enclosed.we should protect our younger sibilings life.

I also have a younger sister who's only 5y/o. Actually my ideal order of siblings to have 1 older brother & 1 older sister then I wish to be the youngest. :D But since I am in the middle, I have responsibilities both to my older brother & to my younger sister. Since you're just asking about our younger siblings, I still don't have to "protect" my sister that much since she's just a kid and my parents take care of her soo muuch. :) I'll be starting to protect her from peer pressures when she's already in elementary. Quarrels & small misunderstandings usually happen at that stage.

I only have one sister, and yes, I am so protective of her especially when she was still in college. And she hates that because she is a very independent minded type of person. I remember her going home so late and when I looked at her, I've seen she had her earlobe pierced for fashion. I was so furious at her then, nagged her tirelessly as to why she went home late and why she did that without my knowledge. She was mad at me at first, then apologetically told me that it doesn't mean she is going out with bad groups, then I realized I overreacted and that I know she can handle herself well...but whenever she didnt replies to my text or calls, I often worried. Even now that she's married and living far away, I cant help but to worry about her. I guess it's just normal to feel that way to siblings especially when you are the older one.

like you i am the eldest of the 4 children. 3 boy siblings, making me the only girl in the family. I think it is conforming to the one eldest to be or at least feel protective of their siblings. It is in our nature to want only safety for them. We would always hope for the best and try to guide them and lead them to what is right. Decision for their lives would still be theirs but you just have this nature to protect them and give them your best advice. after all this would only show that you truly care and that you love them.
