Elder sister struggles aap kiya jaanein
People think that being eldest is the best thing ever. You’re your parents’ favorite child and you get to enjoy all things first hand but stop right there, it’s a whole lot of work being the eldest like all the zimaydaris, and taking care of your siblings like you’re the mom, etc.
Here are some more struggles you can relate to if you’re the elder sister:
1. You cannot casually do mistakes in life because tum sab se barri ho ghar mein
You’re always supposed to be the sane and intelligent one because your parents actually worked on you.
2. You cannot be irresponsible warna chotay behan bhaiyon ko kya sabaq milay ga
You want to live your life to the fullest but you also have to take your every step very carefully.
3. You had an early curfew but your younger brother (even sister) can stay out much late
Kitni ziadti hai yaar..
4. The moment you turn 20 your shaadi becomes the topic of every family conversation
You’re chilling and all and suddenly people turn the conversation around your shaadi and start fixing you up with every other guy around.
5. If you have a younger sister, she’d want you to get married early takay uski baari ajaye
She’s always onto you kay shadi ker lou, shadi ker lou.
6. You have to learn cooking even if you don’t like it because you’re the one helping your ammi out
You’re always looking for hacks in the kitchen but it turns out to be a disaster in the end.
7. Elders put extra pressure on you so that you’ll always set a good example for your siblings
And you’re like, ‘unka thaika mein ne thori liya hua hai?’
8. It irritates the heck out of you when your younger sister wants to “share your clothes”
And it might turn into a fight or you end up looking like twins.
9. You’re the unpaid, official babysitter of your siblings
You also become the unofficial mom when parents are not around.
10. You sometimes have to make tough decisions just because you’re the eldest
‘Baron ko aisay kerna parta hai‘. WTF is that?
11. You also become the unpaid official safai wali baji of your house when the maid doesn’t come
12. Since everyone at home calls you ‘baji‘, people outside your family also start calling you the same
And it makes you feel old even if you’re not that old.
13. You’re always doing your siblings’ assignments and also for free because you want to help your young ones out
And if you refuse then your parents are like kay tumhari parhai ka kya faida?
14. Your siblings get away with their shenanigans kyun kay woh tou chotay hain and you’re like whaaaaaaaaaaaat?
15. The best thing as an eldest sister is that you get to be the boss lady over your siblings
It’s not like you enjoy it. You’ve to do it for their own good.
