Is it worse being an only child, the oldest, the middle or the youngest. Seems like every one has its own struggles, but I still maintain being the oldest is the worst

I’m gonna add an addendum. Oldest is worst, but likely that has the most impact if you’re the oldest girl. I’m second oldest, but oldest girl, and there’s A LOT of labour that comes with that role, when there’s 5 younger kids

And that literally never goes away. Youngest boy in my family is now 25 and mam still doesn’t trust his alarm clock so wakes up every morning to wake him up for work :)

This thread feeds into the deep exhaustion of my existence as eldest of four. I can’t imagine how much more tired you are.

It’s not even that I’m resentful of it - I think it’s just cathartic for it to be spoken about because it really doesn’t get talked about because it’s just expected. Solidarity

Me, aged 14, called out of my room to do the dishes even when I hadn’t had dinner and the boys all went into the sitting room to watch football :) people wonder why I’m a raging feminist
