how u feel of being the youngest of your family???
« on: September 25, 2012, 07:11:40 pm »
Being the youngest in a family can be really good What it's like to be 'the baby' of the family and
 because you have older brothers and sisters to take care of you as well as parents. And also being Youngest  might be lucky if they get lots of attention from parents and their other siblings. I’m the youngest of 6 and i can't say i hate it because it definitely has its perks. The only things I hate is being way overprotected, I still get treated like a baby & the oldest siblings tend to want to boss you around.

I wish I was the youngest. I’m the oldest with one younger sibling.

I was the youngest of 7 and  there was a 10 year gap between myself and the twins next eldest above me. Because of this, it was great because by the time I was maybe 10, everybody else was moving on with their lives so I was kind of like an only child with brothers and sisters.  Holidays were huge, and with six brothers and sisters each with kids of their own, there was always a birthday, anniversary, baptism, or something or other going on.  The only disadvantage I really had is by the time parents get around to number 7, ya really can't get away with much, because nothing I could ever do was original...someone had already tried to get away with that before.  But, I think being from a large family (and my dad was the youngest of nine kids) keeps life busy and exciting.

Being the youngest I can say it has it advantages and it's disadvantages.

Being last in line I got away with a little more than my older brother & sister did
but I also got my sister's hand me down clothes rather than new ones.

All in all though I love being the baby.

I'm actually the oldest, and coming from my perspective, I wish I was the youngest. The youngest one in my family may get the brunt of the teasing, but they also have the least pressure and responsibilty growing up.

I am the youngest and my brothers are very protective even till this day. I was also spoiled by my dad cause I guess he thought awww his baby girl. My mom used to send me alot of things she would make and she taught me how to crochete, also use a sewing machine when I would visit her. I do love being the baby cause you get treated like a princess.  :thumbsup: 8)

I am the baby of 7 but I didn't get all the protection or get babied.  I got less attention because my parents had already been thru everything before me.  Nothing was new, i just seemed like one more thing they had to do.   :sad1:

I love being the youngest in my family.  Our family is very close, so I don't think it would matter which child I was (as far as affection), but I liked having 2 siblings to look up to and learn from.

I often wished i was the youngest, but alas i was the oldest. From the time i was 10 it  was up to me to take care of the 2 younger ones as mom had to go back to work. I really had no childhood. So it must be nice for those who did.

I am the youngest of 4.  I had the advantage of watching how my siblings handled the various phases of their lives and learned from their mistakes.
