Sometimes being the youngest child is a complete struggle. Like anything, it has its advantages and its disadvantages. But, there are just some things that only other youngest children will understand.

1. You're obviously mom and dad's favorite.

2. No matter how old you get, you will always be called the baby.

3. You're always the first to point out when your older siblings are doing something stupid.

4. Being referred to as "so and so's younger brother/sister."

We have names too, you know!

5. If you have more than one older sibling - when they talk about memories from before you were born.

6. Your older siblings often tease you and tell you that you're adopted.

7. When people accidentally call you by your older sibling's name.

8. Being forced to sit in the back of the van/the middle of the backseat.

9. When your siblings talk about all the "adult-like" things they get to do and you don't.

10. When your friends get a crush on your older sibling.

11. You're always last to know family drama.

12. When teachers already think they know everything about you because they taught your siblings.

13. When people are shocked when you tell them your age.

We can't stay six years old forever.

14. Your siblings were always jealous when you could get away with things they never could cause you're the sweet, innocent baby.

15. The moment when you became taller than your siblings.

16. When your siblings leave for college.

17. When your siblings come back from college.

18. You are often accused of being a tattle-tale.

19. "When you're older..."

20. When your parents always defended you when your siblings tried to pick a fight with you.

You were basically untouchable.

Being the youngest child has its advantages and its disadvantages. You got so much teasing, but also had a lot of fun. You were countlessly accused of being the favorite - but you were, so what's wrong with the truth? And even when you're an adult you'll still be "the baby." But, you wouldn't have it any other way.
