Ah, that's one of the fun points to being the middle child hehe.....Kayleigh said:Well, I have two younger brothers right now. (Bleeehh.) They're okay, though; they're nice and everything. I just want a sister, too! ^_^; My cousin is also staying with us at the moment, since his mother is having to work out some personal things. He's almost as old as my brother, so you can guess how that works for me--Double trouble. And in a few more years, when my youngest brother gets older, let's make that triple. O_o Gaah! And if my mom gets married, I'll get two more step-brothers! *runs back to Hawaii*
Anyways, I don't really like being the oldest. I get stuck with having to babysit everyone else and everything. It's not really bad, it just gets annoying every once in a while because my brother thinks that he's not capable of even fixing his own drink. He'll be upstairs playing video games, and I'll be in my room, and suddenly I hear, 'KAYLEIGH!!! ...... Can you fix me a drink? [fake smile]'
My friend's dad is like that! But worse! He'll be down in their living room watching tv and he'll get thirsty and will be too lazy to get up and get the drink for himself. So what does he do? He calls for his daughter... on the phone! He'll pick up the phone and call her up in her room in the attic to come down to the kitchen to get him a drink! Now that's lazy!100marios said:Ah, that's one of the fun points to being the middle child hehe.....
Just kidding! It's usually the other way around anyway. My sister is too lazy to get something herself, even if it's within three feet feet of her. She yells for me, and I rush into the room, afraid something bad happened. She then says, "Jordan, can you fetch me the phone over there?" and she reaches her hand out to point at it, when she could reach it if she bent a little further. She's not a bad sister though..... she's pretty much my best friend! She's practically the only one who can understand my jokes and mumbling hehe....
Means that me and my sibling are equally bossy to each other =P But something that bothers me about my brother is that he doesn't say a word of "Thank you" every time I helped him. He thinks it's my duty to do so. Stupid attitude.snowangel3181988 said:My sister always yells for me to bring stuff to her. But I'm stubborn and I don't give in! Why should I? She has two legs so she can get up and get it herself! If it was every once in awhile that she asked nicely, sure I'd do it! But she does this constantly... and is kinda rude about it. She's a bossy child. But I just don't give into her. She's not a baby and needs to learn to do things herself!
My sister isn't like that all the time, (she was actually really nice today, She brought me a drink without me even asking!) so he's much worse. Talk about lazy! I feel bad for your friend... what kind of example is that?snowangel3181988 said:My friend's dad is like that! But worse!

Oh believe me... I get the whole, "Ashley! Why won't you get your sister what she wants!" Yet, if I ask her to get me something... forget it! All I asked for today was for her to watch a little tv with me like we used to. She said maybe and after I had gotten offline and everything I went into the kitchen to find that she was outside with my dad. This isn't the first time she's blown me off like that either. All I wanted was to spend time with her like we used to before I started working. She has gotten really bossy lately though. I don't really know why though. I too realize there are things, such as height limitations (my sister is so short!) and sometimes I'll help her out in those situations. But it also depends on whether or not she was nice when she asked and what it is that she wants me to get for her. If it's something stupid... or something she's not supposed to touch in the first place, than no I won't get it for her. But usually when she orders me to get her something, it's just because she's too lazy to get it herself. That's what I really hate. She has to learn that I'm her sister and my parents and I are not her servants. We aren't made to wait on her hand and foot. She needs to learn that...100marios said:My sister isn't like that all the time, (she was actually really nice today, She brought me a drink without me even asking!) so he's much worse.

If I were to say that to my little sister, my mom would yell out and say, from across the house: "Jordan! Don't be mean to your sister!" Then I would be forced to go do it hehe...
My little sister is kind of bossy, (and way too smart for her age!) but I do realize that there are somethings she can't do, so I help her. Height limitation... she's a good sized 6 year old, but it's not like she can reach for a glass up in our cabinets!
Hmm, I get that a lot too. In fact, my sister is actually quite stubborn with my whole family. We were taking her to see Harry Potter along with the rest of my family, and she refused. We even had to make a deal with her to buy her some cheap pony toy set, just so she could see a movie. She never went with us to see it, (my mom stayed home with her) but come on! She probably would've liked the movie, and yet she's making deals about it! We had to practically force her to watch Shrek 2 with us a while ago, and when we got out, she probably loved it the most. I really don't understand her.... I love her, no doubt, but it's all rather confusing....snowangel3181988 said:Oh believe me... I get the whole, "Ashley!

Well my sister is 10. But she didn't create a stronger bond with the rest of the family... her new bond is with our 2 and 5 year old neighbors... I don't really know why she's best friends with them though. Probably cuz she likes to feel older since my cousins and I tend to pick on her because she's so much younger and shorter... and oh so much more annoying then the other 3 of us. But she's knows it's all in good fun! But what I don't get is this... I would've thought she would like to spend more time with me when I do get days off from work. And now that I'm home I still never see her. Most little sisters want to hang around their older ones... but in my case it's the opposite kinda. I just want to watch one hour of tv with her like I used to. But apparently her new friends are better than me...100marios said:Hmm, I get that a lot too.

I can kind of understand why she would act like that though. When you were gone, she probably created a stronger bond with her family members at home, so she would rather spend time with them. By the way, how old is she?
OMG, so is my lil bro, man.. My mum's always like "(Bleep) be nice to your little brother!" "Help him with his homework!" XP Its annoying..100Marios said:If I were to say that to my little sister, my mom would yell out and say, from across the house: "Jordan! Don't be mean to your sister!"
