To all the older siblings in the world:
Look, I'm one too. I know of the great injustice and unfairness you guys suffer from. You don't have to tell me.
But then you just have to know that life sucks, and you can choose to either accept it, or to try to change things that will NEVER EVER change at all(like trying to stop your younger sibling from disturbing you by imposing S$2 fines. Trust me it doesn't work. My brother owes my $200++ up to date and has never even returned me a dollar).
If you get blamed, and your younger sibling is at fault, don't retaliate. It only makes matters worse. Instead, calm down(unless it's something really major like you get the blame for a murder your sibling committed =D) and tell yourself that if it isn't your fault, there's no use fuming over it and giving your sibling the joy of seeing you getting blamed for his/her wrongdoing.
Sometimes it seems like your younger brothers and sisters seem to get all the good things right? Well, the good news is that, with evidence from the newspaper, we older siblings have a higher IQ than our younger siblings. That is, provided, you aren't mentally challenged or anything.
More good news! We don't have to wear hand-me-downs. We get first pick of our clothing, and we also get to choose our room first if you ever move into a new house.
Ok, so maybe being the eldest isn't a glamourous job. But it's not like we can choose. We can eitehr choose to be happy, or to mull over things that we can't change.
Older siblings of the world, we are a poor misunderstood lot. Don't let your younger brothers or sisters bring you down. Rest assured, millions of iother people around the globe suffer the same fate as you do and they all managed to survive. Well, most of them anyway.
Hey, life sucks, get over it!
And enjoy it while you can!
