Today's topic: The ups and downs of having a younger brother/sister.

I have a little brother, he is almost three years younger than me and sometimes I wonder if we're from the same planet! As some of you may know, being the oldest isn't always fun.

You have to ALWAYS be nice to the younger ones; you have more responsibilities because your more mature;you have to let things they do go and not get mad at them because their just kids; etc. etc. etc.

But it does have it's perks. Like your younger brother/sister looks up to you; because your more mature you get to go places without them(sometimes) and you always have some company when you go on family holidays. It's so much fun when you have someone around that's a kid. You get to joke around and laugh a lot and you don't usually have to sit and listen to what parents are talking about, or even if you do, you have someone to keep you company.

So how are we supposed to tolerate the fact that being older isn't always fun? I think the best way is to ignore everything that you don't like, or try to find a good side of things, there's always a way to be patient...But sometimes it's really hard not to get out of control. Though sometimes I get mad at my little brother, at the end of the day I feel good about who I am and I'm glad I have him with me. :)
