Growing up was a kinmd of stressful for my only elder brother. We're just two brothers and all the blame, work and the likes were placed on him. He was like everywhere for me. I miss him though cos he is in Portsmouth now. The burden has now shifted to the second in command-me. This is what some of my friends had to say when we were growing up: 1) Thank God, I no be first born 2) E no easy to be 1st born 3) I don tire 4) U won't understand. |

What are responsibilities of the first born |
| Re: First Born Wahala by Epiphany(m): 12:11am On Sep 25, 2009 |
Outstrip:  You dont know? Cant you guess. . . things like having to be responsible for your younger siblings (if you have any), being a good role model, parents always use you for 'trials' (the younger ones get away with a lot of things you as the older one never got away with) and so on and so on. I am not even mentioning things like having to be responsible for the parents welfare when they get older, having to listen to all their complaints (sometimes about the younger siblings etc etc |

Heavy is the head that wears the crown  Most of them you can minimize if you want to. |

Outstrip: True that, true that. But there are some you cannot minimize - like the parents and even the siblings expectations of or from you! Or take a look at the royal family. The firsborns always have a 'heavy burden' placed on them like Prince Charles and his son, prince william. How will they minimize the expectations that the public has for them? Tough job, tough job! |

Everytime i see a topic like this it brings back memories but i always console myself with the knowledge that there is a reason i was chosen for this position and it is because the enablement to meet the inherent challenges, It's a hell of an onerous task though as all eyes are constantly on you and God help you from slipping once in a while you'll be reminded that the steps you take as the first will determine the direction the others will go. |
