As the youngest sibling, it’s hard to make a name for yourself. People tend to know about you through your older sibling(s) and their accomplishments or failures. However, being the youngest sibling means your parents have gone through it all before, so it’s way easier to get away with breaking the rules here and there. Your older siblings taught you how to keep it real and keep it cool when your friends in middle school were freaking out over boy bands and gauchos. If you’re the youngest child in your family, then you can probably relate to these 23 things.

1. You get everything you want because you know how to milk it.
2. It’s a lot harder to get in trouble whether you get a speeding ticket or miss curfew.
3. You learn how to be chill at an earlier age.
4. You already know people when you start high school.
5. Your first crush is your older brother’s or sister’s friend.
6. You have multiple chauffeurs.
7. Half of your wardrobe is hand-me-downs.
8. You get all of their old tests and homework.
9. You're great at getting out of placing the blame on other people.
10. You get way more attention.
11. But, your parents are way less nervous about what you’re doing.
12. You get the hook ups (if you know what I mean).
13. You know how to push everyone's buttons, which makes it easy to get out of chores.
14. You've heard "don't tell mom" a million times and you know how to use it to your advantage.
15. High school teachers already know who you are.
16. You’re often referred to as “Little (insert last name here)”
17. You’ve been tricked into being your older sibling’s servant for a day.
18. Sharing a bathroom is the bane of your existence.
19. But, it made living in a dorm room a lot easier.
20. You’re super protective of your food.
21. From a young age, you’re used to getting beaten up by your older brother.
22. But, now you know how to hold your own in future fights.
23. As a kid, you wanted a younger sibling of your own. But now, you’re feeling blessed.
