hello everyone.
really just trying to pass the time. I have been starting to try and jog every day since yesterday.. I jogged yesterday and power walked today with my brother Andrew. Also I asked my mom for an MP3 player because i found out that all my siblings have one now. Funny how they can ask, beg, wine, and plea for mom to get them something but I can't. Well I didn't beg and plea...I did play wine though and I seriously asked mom for one. i know you might think that I am 18 I am too old to act so "childish", but you may also agree that if all your siblings have one because they asked, you shouldn't be expected to pay for one yourself while no one else does and when they, too, are perfectly capable. I guess these are the times that I really hate being the oldest.... the oldest really gets jiped alot. But i also figure that every level gets jiped on something... in there own psychological mindset (jk). I understand what can happen to the middle they can end up being neglected or something along those lines and that is enough for a major problem. Middle is a very dangerous level i think. youngest is probably that you have no one to boss around and you get picked on by your siblings. the highlight of being the youngest and everyone else besideds the oldest (give or take the age of the middle child) is they do not have to worry about setting an example, and it is always the reason parents give so you will stop misbehaving, "your setting a bad example for the other kids" or " Act like an adult and just let them have the toy and stop complaining." I think by the time the youngest comes around parents are just so tired that they dont care anymore so the youngest can just do whatever they want.. or at least way more then the oldest was able to do at certain ages. it baffles me sometimes what my siblings are able to do now while I wasnt at that exact age. The one good thing about being the oldest is you get to leave the house first (lol).
Funny tangent, i mean really it doesnt matter what level you are at on the sibling pyramid, it matters about parents. but the younger children can have a tendency of getting more then the oldest simply because of the equation less people = more money. Also they do not have to fight through rules and so on, while it takes the oldest forever to get something the younger children can get the exact same item at an even younger age. Funny, the younger child mindset is if s/he can have it I can have it, they have no sense of time I guess in other words the oldest has been on the plantet longer... the oldest is all about the age, they should get it when they are old enough (generally the same age that the oldest receved that item). Both can be rediculious, but, i think the more rediculious out of the two wins more often then it should, guess which one i find more rediculious.. it can be blamed on bias.
However these statments are based on how my family can be. If you take this as full on wining and compaining about how I dont get as much stuff (aka being too materialistic) as the rest of my siblings I am not intending it as that. It is more of an observation, ands i am sure that every level has it downs sides it is just I am not them, i do not live in their life, so I do not know. I am just observing the problems that the oldest child can face, and in some cases i am exagerating. i mean you do have to admit that there is some humor and truth in what I am saying.
Michelle C. and I have come to the conclusion that girls born in 1990, who are the second child, who have an older sibling, perhaps female, that was born in 1988 and who has the understanding of money. what understanding the older child possesses, the second is seriously lacking.
but it is just a thought...
well I hope you are slightly amused by my statments and my thoughts on the issue.
