Double Trouble
12th July 2004; why did the day have to arrive so soon. As the average four year old I was particularly excited when my mum approached me with the news that I was going to become a big sister. I thought it would be a new experience to have a little mini me going around the house as I was hoping that I was going to have a sister, turns out that not all wishes are granted and instead of being blessed with a little sister, I was blessed with two little devils who have turned out to be the biggest challenge in my life.
Being the typical older sibling I have always been challenged by having little brothers. Although with them being twins, people don 't realise how lucky they are just to have one sibling. I so wish it was me. From

The normal sibling would expect a hug or a kiss, but not me, I either expected to be bitten on the arm or fought against, which often led to me getting beat up to a two year old and making me look weak which I didn’t appreciate as a six-year-old as I thought I was the bigger person against them; turns out I wasn’t. As they thought it was a great idea to fight against me, I took it on myself to seek revenge, so I decided to dress them up in dresses and put makeup on them which they seen as a form of torture. Let’s just say, after that they never challenged me to a fight again. I suppose my plot of revenge turned out to be successful, just like I had planned like any older sibling …show more content…
Looking back over the years I would agree they drive me insane also making me want to bash my head off a wall but in all honesty, now they aren’t that bad. Although arguing is still at an all-time high, it appears to be the regular events that happen throughout siblings growing up and I can accept that. With them now growing up, they are not the little crying faced children that I use to know, they are the most caring siblings I could ask for which I never thought I would say, but usually situations change for a reason and the experience of siblings has changed me -for the better- making me a better person and also learning how to love people unconditionally even if the typical argument occurs. I would never change the experience of becoming a big sister for the

    Being an older child in a family does not always have its benefits. Sometimes it puts you at a disadvantage when having younger brothers/sisters. Your parents might let them get away with more than they ever let you get away with, or they might even take up for them more than they would you. Having your parents and relatives take up for them in times that you know they should be either upset or disappointed in them might make you try to point it out to them. It would create an internal battle with your emotions for your brother/sister and your parents and relatives.…

    Every single day there are many decisions that need to be made. Choices that can be as little as wake up time and some that are as big as choosing which college to attend. Most people grow up making decisions based upon their own happiness or because they want to follow in the steps of one of their role models. I didn’t have any role models or someone that I wanted to strive to become. Because I didn't want to base my entire life on someone else’s, I had to learn about what drives a person and what makes someone motivated to do common, everyday tasks.…

    Me and siblings are always arguing and fighting and sometimes it gets bad, but at the end of the day we forgive each other and continue our day. I think it’s normal for siblings to argue and fight. When my siblings and I argue it’s usually over something not important, but I end up losing every time since I’m the oldest and since they’re younger my parents end up choosing them. For example, one time I was walking and out of nowhere my brother hits me so I push him and then he goes telling my mom…

    Imagine growing up with 19 siblings and being the youngest of your entire crazy family. Of course it’s going to be arguing, sisters stealing clothes, or fighting about who gets to use the bathroom first. It’s also when your older sibling hit you too hard and try to bribe you to get you to shut up or stop crying before you can go tell mom. For instance, when I was five, my siblings and I always argued; whether it was from them stealing my fruit snacks or me going into their room when they weren’t there. Frequently, I would hear them use curse words; however, I had no idea what they meant because I thought of it as just another word.…

This can create shaky relationships between brothers and sisters, but it can also bring them closer together. This universal truth is portrayed in both short stories, “The Charmer” by Budge Wilson, and “Forgiveness in Families” by Alice Munroe. The protagonists of both these stories feel that their brothers are being favored by their mothers, and they have to struggle with acceptance.…
