[greeksorceress]

if you see this, please reblog with your zodiac sign, if you’re an older/middle/younger sibling or an only child, and the household task you hate doing the most

Has been the youngest for years before:

It's a survival instinct...

For My Mother, I love you but i do not like you.

For my mother, I love you but i do not like you. You created me, you made me into what i am. I am simply a mirror of you which is exactly the thing tried so hard not to be. I tried to erase every part of you from myself and yet I have still become you. My anger is yours, I hate my father for what he did to you. I hate myself for the words that spill to you when I am blinded by rage. My tears are yours, they belong to you. The tears I cry for what you’ve done are the same tears I use to mourn you, to mourn what you were and what you could’ve been. I mourn for your childhood that was ripped away when you were most definitely too young, all the while mourning myself for you doing the same to me. You tried your hardest not to, but in your own way you have imparted the very same curse your mother had put onto you. You ruined me and made me in the same brush stroke. I cry for the hatred you have instilled in me towards my own father. It was easy for you to make me hate him, because it was easy to see the wounds and scars he had given me. His hate for me came quick and rough, easily seen at the time, but the hate you showed me could not be seen in an instant. You did not cut me but poisoned me, fated me to die in a slow way, a way that i could not see until it was too late to fix, but i see it now. I both hate you and love you for all you’ve done at the same time. I cannot fix what has happened to you no matter how hard i try, i wish for you to heal from what you refuse to speak about. I realise the reason i am so forgiving towards you is because of all that you’ve been through, but now the scales have fallen from my eyes and i know now that these are not excuses but explanations. I pray that my daughter will not fall victim to the same curse that has run through the woman in our family for too many generations to count. I pray I will not turn her into what I have become. I mourn for you, I mourn for me, and I mourn for my future. I hope to one day truly forgive you for all the pain you’ve caused. I hope to one day be able to truly hold a conversation with you without being afraid you’ll say something you can’t take back. I hope one day we can say “I love you” to each other and truly mean it, but for now, I love you but I do not like you.

youngest daughter (emotionally neglected and pressured to be outgoing and confident)

[randombook4idk]

people when they (finally) realize that younger siblings are human beings with their own problems and also experience struggles that stem from their birth order, and aren't these spoiled brats who only exist to make their older siblings lives worse

This is in no way a hate post towards middle and oldest siblings, because we all got freaking traumatized by our parents, just in very different ways. Please, don't shower this post with hate. Thank you.

Being the youngest is carrying the weight of your family's trauma, and fearing them when you don't even know half of what they've done and said because no one will tell you.

Being the youngest is also being told that you're an eavesdropper because you overhear information you definitely shouldn't all the freaking time because you want to know what's going on and you have no other way to learn, and sometimes you pass the information on to other members of the family and then get chewed out for it, or you unintentionally hurt the person who was told because it was about them and you didn't know they didn't know.

Being the youngest is also searching across the internet for something-- ANYTHING-- that relates to being a youngest sibling beyond "youngest siblings are often the smartest and the funniest" crap or the eldest and middle siblings getting angry with the youngest.

Being the youngest is feeling guilty for everything. That you got more of your parents' attention, that you got things sooner, that you got things at all, it's feeling like "that guy" when all you're doing is breathing. (because THEY weren't allowed to breathe.) it's feeling constantly "privileged" and "spoiled" and hating it.

Being the youngest is being told to "never grow up or get taller" because they don't want to see you old. it's being perpetually too young, but yet too old. it's constant isolation because people don't want to be with the "baby of the family"

It's learning the tricks of the trade with everything the older siblings do and then having crippling anxiety at the idea of getting it right the first try. It's accidentally stealing your older siblings hobbies and feeling terrified they'll yell at you.

It's feeling constantly trapped between your parents not wanting you to leave and using you as a support and your siblings not wanting you to be successful, but your insatiable need to get yourself out of the shadow of your siblings keeps that impossible.

it's being either treated as an equal to your siblings and parents or a child. You're expected to be as mature as your siblings, so you act like an adult at twelve or ten. it's fearing criticism and constantly feeling the need to be perfect so there will be nothing to criticize. Everything you do doesn't feel like it means anything.

But oh gosh you just want to get out of your house but you're not old enough. you're never old enough. Everyone's voices and sounds are horrifying, terrifying. you're terrified of them, but they don't hurt you like they used to.

Being the youngest is waiting for a bomb to go off without knowing there was a bomb in the first place. it's being the one who sees the scattered remnants of the shrapnel, and wishes they knew what happened. You weren't there for the actual explosion.

Every moment is exhausting.

Any other youngest daughters here that relate to like, all of the posts that are supposed to be about oldest daughters? Or is it just me?

[herdreamywasteland]

answer please, this is an experiment

I would hands down kill someone for my little sister. Like, the police wouldn't ever stop finding body parts.

and that bastard would be alive for at least half that time-

i fuckin hate being the youngest sibling

[heir-of-selene]

Cheers to the youngest siblings who had to keep their feelings to themselves because obviously since they’re a child they don’t know anything about the real burdens of life and here’s to the the younger siblings who had their feelings invalidated by their older siblings because “they’re the youngest so they get to have it easier”

six years wiser by harrison boe makes me go absolutely feral

“my brothers always gonna be six years wiser, i keep on getting older and the bar keeps getting higher”?? “i see andrew walk over and he says to jesus: i’m not sure even you could pick up those pieces”???

“i’m still scared of growing up, and being who i am right now forever”??? “what i should do and who i should be is still out of reach”???

“just memories of one more thing i can’t fix”????

“i was always just a little much, always never quite enough”?????

“AND IF YOU DIDN’T LIKE ME THEN, THERE’S NO WAY YOU’D LOVE ME NOW”?????

i need this shit injected into my VEINS

It’s crazy that being the gifted kid and having childhood trauma means you’ve been like 18 since you were 6 so on one half everyone leaves you to your own devices and expects a ton from you and you’re hyper independent and stuff and then on the other hand you’re the youngest sibling with medical trauma so you HAVE to be dependent to some extent so they baby you and treat you like a 5 year old when you’re 16
