The Blessings of the Firstborn in the Family

      Being a first child in a family is the huge responsibility because the flash light will always be upon the first child. The expectations will be high. Everyone around us, especially the parents will expect the first child to be that perfect kid with all good qualities and proper education. But, it is a blessing to be born as a first child in a family because everyone will take care of us and shower immense love. We will also be respected more than our siblings.

     The best thing about being a first child is that the wisdom and knowledge of our parents will directly pass on to the first child. When, we grow up our opinions and decisions will be taken into consideration and we will often be appreciated for all our deeds. Many will complain that being a first child in a family is the huge burden and the people expect me to be perfect all the time in all the things. Rather, consider that as a blessing which our siblings could not enjoy but only we alone can cherish. The first child will always be the closest child to the parents. The parents will take care of the first child as if he/she was still the same 10 year old kid who always runs up to them to seek love, advice, permission and knowledge.

     Consider yourself as the blessed individual when you are the first child in your family because it is the huge gift which universe has given us. The first child will have the privilege of having all the protecting arms of the parents around them all the time.
