The siblings: perks and despair
Hello hello there me fellow readers and writers it's me once again your lazy writer lazysnail. Time check it's 8:28 in the morning and it's the 25th day of the month of may 2022. I became too much busy on my private life and became too lazy to publish an article. As a result I missed almost two weeks in here but here I am again trying to make a come back.
What is perfect family? They say that a perfect family is a family that can sustain a daily livings, eat three times a day, are happy and love each others all the time. Some parents choose to have only one child so that they can focus on their one and only son or daughter. That's actually a great idea to have. Because they can have their whole attention to it alone and can have a perfect life plan from him or her. While there are some families who's thinking, the more is the merrier. They are having two or more child. Just like every year their having a baby. I'm not judging any one here but just stating the facts that's it's actually happening. It's not bad also too have but the parents should make sure that they can fulfill their responsibilities to all their child.
"PANG ILANG KA SA INYONG MAGKAKAPATID?" I'm actually not sure about the right term in english here, what do you think? For me this is it. What's your chronological order in your siblings? but I think this is more right "what is your birth order among your siblings?" Well no matter what your order is, the eldest child, the middle child or the youngest child. I know for sure that it has the perks and despair. I'm not saying that everything I will say is accurate but this is what I observed in my family who has 4 child and also what i observed to other families.
The eldest child
The eldest child or the first born is the most responsible and we'll behaved in the siblings. They almost do everything and get the attitude of their parents. In a middle class families, the eldest child have the mindset that they need to graduate fast and support their family. They're becoming the breadwinner of the family. Being a first child means, you are the only one who will get the full attention of your parents that will only happen when you still don't have any siblings. On the other hand, you will also gonna experience the hardship of life. A family who just got started are tends to face a lot of problems especially financially that's because they still don't know much about the world that's why the first born child will gonna see it too. That is where he will get all those personalities and behavior by seeing what's the reality is and they will become more mature.
The youngest child
You may call them the baby of the family, not everyone but most of the youngest child are turning into a spoiled brat. They don't experience the hardship in life that's why they became the happy go lucky people. Most of the least born child have some attitude with them. They get things they wanted and their parents always look at them. It is because they mostly seek the attention of everyone. They wanted to be notice as always that's why they are a social type of person. They can talk to anyone actually. In the other side, mostly Being the youngest is the hardest part out of all the children, and not just for the reasons you think, either. Being the youngest means that you become your parent's last hope, their final attempt at perfection. in a common simple family, the youngest child tends to get all the order by the parents. When their will ask the eldest, the eldest will pass it to the middle child and will pass the order to the youngest. And because he has no one to passed the order is that he has no choice but to follow it.
Middle child
Middle child are the most understanding in the family, they tend to think logically because they mostly observed to what's happening. The parents mostly focus on the youngest and the eldest and will have the least attention. Thus, this makes the middle child gain more freedom. Middle child is the easiest because they have the least pressure. Mostly it's the middle child who became the parents first in the siblings. There are only few problems that the middle child is experiencing and mostly is that they're feeling overshadowed. Having the least attention is the most depressing because you wanted to get something too and feel praise that's why you'll do your best to get it.
Not every family is like this, it is rare to have a perfect family. Being the youngest, oldest or the middle has its own perks and despair and that's the reality. We just need to deal with everything we have and help our siblings grow in the right way.
Sometimes parents have to do their best to defend all their children because in most of cases sometimes the dispute is for a very banal cause.
