As big sisters, we're told from an early age to protect our brothers and that they will look up to us. After a few short years, our brothers begin to tower over us and we're the ones physically looking up at them. Once the first fight occur between siblings the door can never be shut, and for the rest of your lives you will fight over the stupid little things in life along with the following reasons.
TV
ESPN vs. "The Bachelor," "South Park" vs. "Grey's Anatomy." Even though you probably have more than one TV in the house, there will always be the best room, couch or reason why you deserve it.
Shotgun
Older sibling gets it. It's just a way of life..until your brother can physically move you.
Bathroom
Sharing a bathroom will always lead to drama. One sibling always takes too long in the morning, you both want to shower at the same time or your brother smells up the place. If you're lucky like me, I came back over break from college to find that all my stuff in the bathroom had been thrown out.
Guests
How do you decide which one of you can have friends over?
Advice
Being a good older sister, you try to pass down some of your elderly wisdom you have acquired over the years, especially when it comes to classes, SATs and college. Your brother, of course, thinks he knows everything and refuses to listen.
Food
He'll eat all the food in the house, and worst of all, the leftovers you've been looking forward to all day will be gone when you get home.
Rides
The tables have turned and now you're the one who's being called to pick them up late at a party when you just want to be in bed.
Just because
Brothers always start it. But one yell from you to dad and they're in trouble because you're their little princess. If you are anything like my brother and I, sometimes you end up fighting for no apparent reason. My brother will go out of his way to wrestle me to the floor and since he is stronger than I am, it's just easier to give up.
Having a little brother means you are naturally going to fight at some point. But despite all the stupid disagreements you have, your brother will always be your best friend. They will always be there for you at family events, know when to make fun of or how to cheer you up and best of all, they just get you like no one else does.
