If you are an older sibling or the oldest do you f

So I am the oldest on my birth mom’s side. I have a youngest sister who is 7 (younger than my 8 year old) as I have other siblings as well. But anyway ever since she born even before I felt like I needed to “take care” of her in a since. I mean my mom is 8 hrs away from me. But before she was born I was the first person to buy baby things, when she needs stuff I’m sending it. Idk 🤷🏽‍♀️…

Anyone else feel this way or do these things? Or just me!? Let me know ⬇️ #AskLemon8 #lemon8contest #oldestsibling #oldestdaughter #letschat

The Truth About Being the Oldest Daughter ❤️‍🩹

For so many of us, being the oldest daughter meant growing up too fast.❤️‍🩹 We became responsible, dependable, and emotionally available for everyone else. We learned how to take care of others long before we learned how to take care of ourselves.💯 The hardest lesson I’m still learning? Th

Surviving the pressures of being the oldest. 🌿

Are you the oldest? If so then you know the expectations are high! As the first born you’re held to a higher standard, the trail and error kid. If you’re like me, you’re probably an over achiever right? You probably do things and make sure someone is looking so that you can receive that praise.

A pregnant woman in a hat and white skirt stands on a beach, looking at a young child. The text overlay asks, "When people ask if this baby was planned," highlighting the article's central theme.

A Clearblue digital pregnancy test is shown with a blank screen. Overlays state, "The truth is Does it matter?" and "A baby is a blessing. If we purposefully tried to get pregnant or not. We are blessed and excited for the life of another baby."

An ultrasound image of a fetus is held in a hand. Text overlays read, "People asking this when you already have children" and "Just because you have more than one child doesn't mean that you didn't plan or aren't excited for another."

Should people ask if a baby was planned or not? 🕊️

Honestly, it’s one of the most WILD questions someone could ask parents. It makes me cringe to my core. Like if they weren’t trying to conceive but are so excited for this little life why does it matter? Would it change their opinion and excitement over this baby? Personally for me I am a Christ

the pressure of being the oldest

Being the older sibling is honestly scary sometimes. There’s this constant pressure that comes with knowing your younger siblings are watching you, looking up to you, whether you feel ready for that responsibility or not. My mom used to remind me all the time “They’re going to follow your example.”
