For anyone who has siblings knows there are reasons to hate them but there are more reasons to love them then anything. Being an only child for half of my life then having two little brothers born my whole life had changed but, it was for the better. This is for you Cooper and Tyler.
1. Being in charge.
When having younger siblings you always get that chance to be in charge of them and let's admit it, it's the best feeling out there. The best part is when they go 'I'm telling on you' but you're the one who happens to be in charge so they're telling what you did to yourself.
2. They're forced to be friends with you.
No matter whether they like it or not, they have to like you. Which means you can be the most annoying older sibling but they can't do anything about it because they live with you.
3. The random acts of love.
Those moments where you don't expect a hug from them and they just run up and give you the biggest hug ever. It makes me choke up knowing they still have a heartsomewhat.
4. Having someone to beat up.
Whether it's tickling or actual fighting, there's an excuse for it. "Oh it's okay, they're my younger sibling."
5. Giving them advice.
Giving your younger siblings advice is probably the best blessing you could give them especially if like me, you've experienced everything before them. (Ex: Boyfriends, Drama, High School, and College).
6. Inside Jokes.
The inside jokes that your siblings and yourself share. Whether it's ugly faces or a favorite saying. (With my brothers I have to deal with water bottle flipping and stupid sayings from old vines).
7. Watching them grow up.
The hardest part of having younger siblings is watching them grow up. Knowing that their cute young selves are soon gonna grow up to be just like you and yes, it'll make you worried but just always remind yourself - they have a good guide and that's yourself.
