I'm the first son in my family. It really can be fun. My uncles and aunts accord me so much repect that sometimes it puts me off; but I like it though. They call me to sit in meetings of the elders in the clan, and I have a word on any family decision, as young as I am. So are you the first son in your family? What are the responsibilities required of you in the family? What priviledges do you get to enjoy? ANY SPECIAL THING ABOUT THE FIRST SON IN YOUR TRIBE? Do you sometimes wish you were not the first son in the family? This is a fun and edutainment thread. Derailers, please keep off. Thank you.

Mods, pls do the needful for me. This is weekend. Edutainment things. Thank you.

Serious? Cant believe it.

Am the first and only son but the thing is people keep reminding you of it and it gets boring.

am the first son and to be honest it's not easy because the younger ones are looking to me so am expected lead by example, but I won't deny the fact that I have been highly favoured. but still e no easy, I don't know if any other person is in same shoes with me!

First son here too, Laying a good example to my junior ones is the motive.

m d 1st son of my family nd i have 5elder sisters.. The 1st born is 10years older than me.. So who am i to debate issues with her nd the rest of them..but now that m a man(yea, a full grown man), all of them do accord me respect...they cant talk to me anyhow now(mayb its because all of them are married now)

Signing in sha.

With 3 elder sisters.

Abi Oooo

Abeg, being first son is stressful, my husband is and since their parents are late, every family decision, action or inaction lies on his head. Even when he is thousands of miles away, no rest from family wahala. It even affects me too, other wives can come and enjoy every occasion, but me must join organisers' association. Sometimes I have to feign sickness. Abeg, make them still dey give my guy breathing space sometimes.
