The best gift parents can give us siblings. It's because even if parents can take care of us very well, At some point it's hard to give us the time which we want. Patents can't concentrate on us 24/7 because various kinds of household work restrict them and it's very natural. We feel lonely and various kinds of negative thoughts may appear in our mind. If we have siblings we can play and talk to them and stay out of various kinds of negative thoughts.
In my family, there are 5 members. We are 3 siblings and parents and it's a happy family. We are two brothers and one sister. I am the eldest one and my brother is the little one and he is 11 years younger than me. And my sister is 5 years younger than me. I used to feel lucky because I have one sister and one brother. Isn't it?
As an elder brother responsibility automatically comes to me and it is natural. Sometimes I felt that it would be better if I was a junior one in my family because a junior one can get more opportunities to lead a free and carefree life than the elder one. But I realized that someone needs to take responsibility. So why not me? So even if I am the elder brother I don't feel regret for it.
One of the most important responsibilities is the responsibility of the finances of the family. As the eldest son, it's my responsibility to take over the responsibility of the finances of my family from my father. My father is getting older and I think it's the time for my father to rest and enjoy life. My financial condition is moderately ok because my father saved a good amount of money in the bank and it is giving us some money each month as an interest of savings. And I am also earning a little by doing tuition and supporting my family.
My father returned from abroad 2 years ago. So in the last two years, my family mostly depended on bank interest and my little earnings. Everything was going very well but because of inflation at the current time, we need to face difficulties for leading life. It's true that the solution is not too bad for us but it's not too good either. Somehow we are balancing the situation and I feel worried thinking about the future of my family and it's reasonable for me as the eldest son of my family.
I am always trying my best to come out of the situation by providing all the facilities to my family members. Sometimes I feel what will happen to my family if something happens to me. My brother is not mature enough to take responsibility for my family. It gives me a feeling like It would be better if I had another sibling almost the same age or a little younger than me. I know that kind of thinking is not going to change anything but I can't stop thinking about it. It's because somehow balance will create and it's the law of nature. So I wish I had another brother nearly to my age although I am happy with my current family members 🙂. It would made our life better and more secure 🙂. And I would get someone to discuss about many thing with him.

I can't really say I understand your predicament completely since I'm not a first born but I do understand how difficult it is to be responsible for some duties due to your place in the family, sometimes it can be burdensome but it gets better over time because your younger siblings will get older and support your endeavours and together the burden will be become lighter on you.
Thanks for sharing.
If my younger brother get mature it will be easy for me but still it will take time and who knows I don't get the opportunity. Sometimes I feel I am overthinking but it's logical also.
It's totally understandable why you'd want another sibling. Being the eldest one puts certain responsibilities on your shoulder which is almost impossible to overlook especially as it concerns your young siblings.
You're doing great anyways.
Well-done!
Yes. Elder means responsibility. I am not afraid of my responsibility just thinking to secure my financial issues for my family .
Thank you for understanding my points.

The responsibilities that comes with being the first born is so much.
With time, your siblings will grow up and support you as well.
I know with time everything will be fine. Just thinking what will happen if something happens to me suddenly. There is no guarantee of anything.
!PIZZA
Nothing will happen to you.
I think your younger brother will help you more in the future which will solve your problems.
You have a younger brother but how do those who don't even have a younger brother to meet their expenses
I hope that your younger brother will definitely help you in some time to come and give you a lot of encouragement
I also hope that my younger brother will be capable also to support me after a certain time but the day is not coming so fast and that's the reason I am thinking..
I thought about it also several times. And I didn't get the answer of it.

Don't think too much, everything will be fine
Hehe. I know 😅. Thanks for reading 🙂.
@intishar your welcome
Being the eldest son comes with lots of responsibilities. I understand your plight friend cause it isn't easy at all. I believe your younger brother will help out once he is mature enough. Keep pushing friend👍
Yes, I also understand that with time everything will be ok but sometimes overthinking strikes.
I hope everything will go well..
I hope so too, stay blessed friend!
I understand how it feels to be the next person, to oversee the responsibility of the family, we also wish we had a support system at a point, but very soon your siblings will grow up and would support you, do your best and live the rest for God.
I also hope that everything will be fine and it's just a matter of time. I know I am overthinking but my thinking makes sense. I just hope that I will get the opportunity to provide all the facilities to my family members.
I can relate to your experience because my eldest brother passed through alot assisting my 5 other siblings financially. It's never easy to be a first born especially when your parents and not strong financially. This responsibility made my eldest brother to delay getting married and taking care of his new family...he was so concerned about us. Even now that he is married, he still have lots of responsibilities but not like before as we are all grown ups.
I wish you all the best in life..more money, more grace and more wisdom to handle your family responsibilities
We all came to this world to play some role. I think god gave me the role because maybe I am capable enough for it. I also hope that I will be able to take responsibility well if everything goes according to my plan. I am just a little bit concerned about my family.
Thank you for your comforting words.

What!!! Honestly I forgot about it but I was planning for my Hive birthday long ago..
Thank you for reminding 🙂🤦..
You're welcome, @intishar! Time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it? We're glad to have been able to remind you of your Hive birthday. Keep up the great work and here's to many more years on Hive!
I agree. I didn't realized that I crossed another year specially in last 5/6 months crossed very fast.
I will keep doing my good work and yes many more years are coming 🙂.
What you just narrated is the experience of most people who are the first child of the family and you've already seen my post so you know that I'm in the same position as you. Hehe. But, there is a lot of advantage to this because I know I always get a feel-good vibe whenever I assist my siblings in any possible way.
You've been playing your role in a veey nice way. Keep up the good work. Hehe. #dreemerforlife
I wonder if you are on Twitter... Can you send the URL of your Twitter profile? We (DreemPort) need it for a list we are compiling for all Dreemers.
Yes, I have read yours and we both are in the same position. I also feel good assisting my little one and I am doing my responsibility well from my side. I am a little bit worried thinking about the future time and I think you also feel it sometimes.
Yes, I am on Twitter also, here is my profile URL: https://twitter.com/Intishar15
There surprise a lot of burden being the eldest, but you can't change that, it already there.

Yes, I can't change that and I don't want to change it either. I am just worried about my family and thinking about what will happen if something happens wrong to me at the current time.
Every family has this pillar that holds them all together. Good job dear👍 more strength
I am just playing my role in my family. Thanks for appreciating.
I'm the oldest brother and this post was true in lots of ways the oldest child always will have to have the most responsibility. my younger brother is 10 and he struggles so I have to be patient with him. i found this in Dreemport #dreemerforlife
I think all Big Bro is playing almost a similar role. I know it's not easy to play the role but not impossible also. We need to try our best to provide all the facilities for our younger ones and our parents. I feel good to assist them.
!PIZZA
That's really an amazing reason you've given as to why you need a younger brother.
Solving the problems of finance in s family isn't an easy task to do so I certainly related with all your reasons
#dreemerforlife
hehe. I just stated those points why I feel I need another brother and it's my pleasure you got my point. If I remain ok then I don't need another one but for the financial security of my family, I just wanted another brother nothing more.
Thank you for giving your precious time to read my post.
