It’s Hard As Hell Being The Oldest Sibling

Mar. 16, 2023

NOT EASY
It's Hard As Hell Being The Oldest Sibling

It's time we give the oldest kids of the family some major props (and I'm not just saying that because I am the oldest child in my family). Samm Davidson writes: "Recently, I had to sit my 9-year-old down at the kitchen counter for a little chat about attitude and respect." After she said her piece, she gave him the floor: "'It's not actually easy, Mom,' he said with tears in his eyes, 'being the big brother to three younger siblings. And I don't feel like I get enough attention, and I am frustrated.'"

First of all, three cheers for his level of emotional self-awareness, which surpasses many grownups. Read and find out how Samm is grappling with this moment.

Can You Unspoil A Child?

"I understand how easy it is to give in and say yes to the mid-store whining fits — or even just the sweet requests from the person you love more than anything — until you realize you've caved so reliably that any no hits your kid like a slap," writes Katie Arnold-Ratliff today. So if you're hearing a few too many "I wanna"s and not enough "please" and "thank you," she checked in with the experts about what to do next.
