Life with siblings can be a little tough. Most of the time you’re always fighting over little reasons like the tv remote. There's also sometimes when you get in really big arguments with them and say things that later you regret. But mostly life with siblings is the hardest when you’re the oldest. To start this off I love all my siblings but sometime they could be a pain in the head. As a little girl, I always thought I was going to be the only girl because I had two little brothers, I wasn't really that old so I never took care of them my parents handled all that, I wasn't really responsible for anything just a happy little girl. Unexpected things like this can help a person develop more maturity and success.

One early morning, my mother had told me the big news that we were going to have another brother or sister. I was very happy and excited because I really wanted to have a baby sister.  My mom and I were heading to the doctor’s office for an appointment; this was the day I was going to find out if I was having a baby brother or sister. “It's one... no, it's 2... no wait... I think I need to call someone else in here.” As we were waiting for the nurse to come back with the other person, my mother and I were scared because we had no idea what was going on. “It looks like you will be having 2 baby girls” I couldn't believe what I had just heard.  

I was having 2 baby sisters, and I was surprised and excited I was so excited I told everyone about it before my mom did. My mom was always telling me “once these little girls are born you’re going to help me out. You’re growing up so fast.” At first, I didn't think it was a big deal; helping my mother take care of my new baby sisters felt like an easy thing to do. Incidentally, the day my little sisters were born was the happiest day of my life. At first, my mom did all the work: she changed their diapers, fed them, and she did everything else. But when my sisters were finally 1, I had to start taking care of them, and yes I even had to change their diapers, sadly.

My sisters are the best, but I'm not going to lie they are a little crazy and hard to take care of. I hated changing their diapers or taking them with me every time I went to the park. But taking care of them showed me that even if sometimes you hate your siblings you could never stay mad at them and you will do anything to protect them and make them happy. Being the oldest is a real big responsibility because you have to show the rest of your siblings how things are done and be a good example for them.

 

Having siblings makes me happy because I can act like myself with them without getting judged. They have made me more responsible in life. For example, when making the right choice they are always there for me. And most importantly they made me more responsible, not just with house chores or taking care of them, but because they show me every day that life is hard, but it's also good to enjoy.  This will help me in life especially in high school it has helped me a lot when I need to make the right choice. I look back to when I used to take care of my sisters and how it helps me with my successful future.
