9 Things Being the Youngest Gets You

There are perks to being the baby!

9 Things Being the Youngest Gets You

1. FREE FOOD

Siblings usually get real people jobs before you so they can give you food and buy you food and do a lot of things with food that you do not have to pay for!

2. FREE RIDES

Your older sibling will probably get their license before you so then your parents will force them to drive you to your friend's house or your soccer practice! Of course, this makes you feel like the cool kid because at least you aren't riding the bus or your parents are not picking you up!

3. FREE CLOTHES

Half the time if someone asks me where I got a piece of my outfit I say My Sister's Closet, sounds like a boutique right... but I literally mean my sister gave this to me!

4. YOUR TRADITIONS RIPPED AWAY

I never said all things it gets you are positives! Since my oldest sister is 9 years older than me when she was 20 I was 11 so of course, the Easter Bunny came but now when I am almost 20 she is 29 and the Easter Bunny is getting a little tired of making Easter baskets. My excuse is that she got them when she was 20 so I deserve one still! Also now that she has a husband and lives across the country I no longer get to see her every Christmas morning.

5. MORE PRESENTS

Again since your siblings have a real job they can afford to buy you presents! Instead of just birthday presents from mom and dad you get some from your older sisters and older brother!!

6. BEST FRIENDS

These are the only friends that 100% understand your family! You never have to explain which cousin is which and which uncle they belong to! They were probably your first roommate so you could always have those late night talks with someone!

7. FREE THERAPIST

Not only those late night talks but also during the day! They will have a little more life experience but aren't completely from another generation! They can help guide you through high school and those dumb boyfriends you had and help you make-up with your best friend!

8. MOM AND DAD UNDERSTANDERS

No one will ever understand how your parents really are except your siblings. They may also help you when it comes to rules! Hopefully, they can make your parents a little more lenient!

9. LOVE

Siblings will always love you even if you fart in their face or post the embarrassing picture of them at the Christmas party! They will laugh with you and cry with you but always be with you!

I know for a fact I would be a completely different person if I was not the youngest with my three older siblings and now two brother-in-laws that I have!

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
