Being the last born in your family can be considered both a blessing and a curse. There are just some struggles that only the youngest sibling can relate to.
1. Forever being referred to as "the baby," no matter your age
2. Questioning your identity because everyone seems to know you as "so-and-so's little brother/sister"
3. Winning by being able to meet all of your older sibling's attractive friends
4. But having to hear that your friends find your sibling hot
5. By the time you achieve important milestones (birthdays, graduation, awards, etc.), everyone is sick of going big and just ends up going home
6. Having one baby picture in comparison to your sibling's 1001
7. Therefore believing that your family really did adopt you
8. Then there's the stressful situation of lying to your parents on your sibling's behalf
9. And knowing that the saying "snitches get stitches" is no joke
10. But having to whip out your blackmail in the case that someone refuses to cooperate with your demands
11. Always being accused of being your parents' favorite
12. Actually being everyone's favorite, if we're being honest
13. And when it comes to dating, you always have your own personal interrogators
14. Not to mention, an on-call Uber driver
15. But through thick and thin, your siblings will always be your full-time friends
It's not easy holding the title of the youngest, but hey -- someone has to do it. You may never know how it feels to do anything first, seniority will never be your favorite, and you're a little too used to comparisons; but it's a small sacrifice. So if you're reading this, props to you, baby of the bunch. You're the real MVP!
