As an oldest child who was also an only child for eight years I know how this shig feels

[@libbyglass]

ahh im so sorry you know how this feels I completely understand

[@tajinaasgar]

Yess the high expectations is sooo real tip like I could have a 94 in math and my litttlr sister could get a C and my parents don’t mind and also the blaming always happens I hate it

[@navoditachakraborty-zl7yp]

Same, but my parents treat me and my younger brother according to our ages. Sometimes I feel they spoil me too much, like treat me like a child younger than my age (I like it). So as an oldest child I can't relate to this. They treat my younger brother the way they treated me at his age. Btw, this (the way my parents treat us) is common in my country.

me for high expectations: it’s literally impossible in my school to get an a+-

[@libbyglass]

yeah isn't it just Im in a media school so its quite easy to get a top grade distinction

[@Lefty-1909]

I non stop study to make my parents proud as they're always digging into me that I need to work harder so I don't end up like them and I can achieve my dreams. This makes me extremely ambitious and rarely get to do things that I want to do. But they don't realise this. They always call me lazy and say I spend to much time in my room but it's were I do my work and the other bit of time I have left is what I would actually spend in my room. I'm really stressed out alot of the time but they don't think I can be because I'm "just lazy" and think I'm using it as an excuse. I rarely want to eat, I struggle with sleep and sometimes don't, I lack motivation but when I have motivation, I REALLY have it, I have so many procrastinating thoughts, I pull my hair, etc. but they don't realise any of it. However, teachers who barely know me know more of it than them and have even told them but my parents just ignored it and got worse. However, they're always bragging about my intelligence to their friends but then moan because I don't/can't help out with chores as much and constantly compare me to my cousin who always does chores because she doesn't focus on school work like I do and has time but she gets paid for it.

this is so accurate. being the oldest also ment you had to pick up the whole house cause your siblings "don't do it as good as you" or some stupid reasons like that.

[@Copperxx]

No I swear it’s first like: “you have to be a good role model, you should be a good example for your younger sibling” Then it’s like: “you should be like your younger sibling” I just don’t understand parents sometimes

[@rafiamir6758]

it feels like they are making you do it bexause your the oldest, not because your siblings are young or any other reason

[@Shadowdragons13.]

Ikr, my brother had a broken toy and he blamed me for when I did nothing about it, I am a teenager I don't want anything to do with the toy! Yet I got blamed, but the thing is, now I have been blaming him right back for stuff that I know he never did and now I am the " rude person", sometimes you never win being oldest 😔

[@user-tq9vs6fc9u]

I’m a younger sister but an older cousin, so I can at least relate a bit when it comes to that. “You’re older so you should’ve stopped him” but when you act older “You’re not his parent, stop that”. You can’t win.

[@xypher3914]

Nothing feels worse than getting As all throughout elementary, being exited to tell your parents and them being just as excited, then the reaction slowly fading into ‘well that’s just the expectation’ then the only response you get when you work your ass off in high school to have a 4.0 and they barely blink twice. Then you get another sibling, and the expectation for them is barely Cs because ‘they’re not like you, they’re like I was in high school.’

[@L3xi983]

I'm a middle child, and this was my life when I was with my mom, I moved with my father's mom the 2 main things that changed was that when things break I just get told to be more careful, and I get paid for babysitting my younger sibling, I am basically the oldest child because my siblings have ADHD and autism or one of them... I feel like there is still favoritism happening because of that. I have major anxiety and stress and my "amazing" math and science teacher thought I was "picking and choosing" on what to do in class...

Today I got invited out with my friends to the mall, and my parents told me I couldn’t go because I had to take my 8 year old brother on a date. I used to have straight A’s all throughout primary school up until secondary when I’ve been seriously struggling in most lessons. The amount of nights I haven’t slept because I’ve been trying to study for an exam I know I’m gonna fail anyways. In all my exams I get better scores than my friends, I get better results than my siblings get, I still got told ‘it’s not good enough’ and I can’t even say anything back because they’ll ground me. I can’t wait until I’m 18 because the second I can move out I am and I’m never looking back
