Older siblings are great, they give us examples to follow and they teach us to learn from their mistakes. Sometimes they take care and look after us but sometimes they can be a little annoying. I think us younger siblings can all agree on these things that we felt while growing up.

1. They take advantage of the phrase “respect your elders”.

I get that they are older and wiser and we have to respect their thoughts and opinions but that does not mean they have the same authority over us as our parents do.

2. They think we have to listen to EVERYTHING they say.

We appreciate your advice, but I think sometimes we know what's best for ourselves.

3. When you fight, somehow you always end up getting in more trouble.

You could not have even stated the argument but get blamed by your parents. Then you are told to go apologize to your older sibling because they are never the ones in the wrong, obviously.

4. Older siblings have more privileges.

They get to the things that you are not allowed to do which is quite frustrating.

5. They feel like they are so much more mature than you are.

If you are less than 5 years older than your siblings than please do not act like you are so much more grown. It is so annoying when older siblings act like you are a child when they are literally only a year older than you. They get embarrassed to go anywhere with you and make it seem as if they are babysitting you.

We get it you're older, no need to brag about it. We still love you though, even though you can be a pain sometimes.
