Life with a younger sibling is very, very hard, but occasionally fun. I have a brother that is 2 years younger than me in 7th grade. Most of my friends think he's sweet or nice, even though I have a very different view of him. I think he is very annoying and definitely not nice, but that's just because I see him 24/7. Surviving life with a sibling is challenging but in some ways rewarding. For example, if you have a younger sibling, they will probably look up to you and ask you for advice. This is one of the benefits of having a younger sibling because it shows you how important you actually are in their life.
Some of the down sides to having a younger sibling are very clear like free babysitting, loud noises, and occasional, yet painful, physical fights. Free babysitting is always a good idea for parents, except when it's an older sibling. So, if you are forced to babysit your little brother or sister, come up with as many distractions as you can like tv or games. Loud noises come with any sibling no matter the age, so there isn't really any hope of you avoiding this. If the loud and annoying noises become unbearable, simply go outside.There are many ways to prevent or stop these fights like keeping to your own business or just being nice, but this doesn't usually happen with siblings. So, try to reason with your sibling or come to a compromise that doesn't hurt either one of you.
I like your personal views of having siblings. I have an older sister so I may not be able to agree the same way as you do, but I can still feel the benefits and downsides of having siblings. Remember to get along with your brother!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I don't have a younger sibling, but I know yours is a hand full. I think it would be hard to have a younger, but you do it well.
ReplyDeleteThat a good view. It is something I will never experience.
