Being the youngest child is what many would consider the easy way out. Rules usually don't apply and, most importantly, parents tend to ease up. Unfortunately for me, this wasn't the case. I tend to be the child that makes stupid mistakes. Growing up, I would lie to my parents about the most useless of things, sneak around and not listen to any of their advice.
My mom has become the biggest worry body on the face of this earth, and yes I'm pretty sure it all adds up to me. Reading this you may think that I'm this reckless b*tch that gives my parents hell, but in reality, I just do things my own way. It's not like I'm this wild child, but sometimes I really don't think before I act. My entire family is untrusting when it comes to asking me to do anything. I would say that my mishaps are laughable, because normally after I f*** things up, it becomes a funny story.
Sometimes it's really hard to be the irresponsible one. I'm never really asked to do large tasks, and if I am someone will stop it before it's in my hands. And when I do accomplish something slightly responsible, I get applauded like it's a miracle. I get treated like a child countlessly, mostly by my mother but still. It gets tiring when you continuously mess things up. Not just with my parents but in other relationships too. I just forget that I have responsibilities sometimes and after I neglect them for a while they add up.
I can't wait for the day when I really prove everyone wrong. Yes, I admit to being irresponsible, but I want to be seen as somewhat efficient and helpful. Not just the lazy daughter who can barely make mac and cheese. I wish they could see me differently, not just the mistakes I've made. It's hard not being the favorite.
