Hello beautiful Ladies of Hive 😍
How is your day going? A big virtual hug from me to you.
Before I start I'm inviting 
I don't think it's a new thing that first borns experience more pressure than any other child of the family, I'm not trying to sound villanous but this feeling (pressure) comes naturally as you grow.

I'm the first child of my family, and basically have four siblings, so I understand what it means to be pressured, the funny thing is that you could be the person pressuring yourself, because in the end everyone is trying to fend for themselves, but then again when you know that everyone is looking up to you... you can't misbehave because your siblings are watching you, even though they wouldn't admit it but you're basically their role model.

My sisters for instance got interested in makeup because I do it often and it's a trendy thing and they didn't see the need to pay before learning because they had me, though it would be a tough time getting them to admit that, but yeah, this could be the fun part and even in situations I would sincerely want to act badly but I won't do that because I wouldn't want them see me in bad light because I won't be able to correct them when they're doing something wrong, being the eldest has technically built me with a better mindset, they are still times I wouldn't want to come too soon.
For instance, MARRIAGE, if you're a first girl child, I'm guessing you would relate to this especially here in Nigeria, it's a thing, (marrying from the same tribe as yours, late marriage) these are the topics that keep running to you from family members and relatives. Honestly, I'm not set for marriage yet, I'm young and I still have goals to achieve before that stage of life comes, and I'm thankful for the kind of parents I have but not thankful to society or societal pressure.
However, being the first child has made me a good leader, I correct my siblings when they're wrong and they might hate me that moment but we play the next day like nothing happened, I live a life worthy of emulation, because I don't want my siblings doing the wrong thing, I'm literally the second Mom in the house, honestly it's not an easy task but I can't refuse it.
The good part of growing up as a first girl child is the fact that I know for sure that one thing I shouldn't be is lazy, I'm not trying to waste years of my life and regret it later, NOPE!! That's not giving!
I'm not certain about the future but I know for sure that I want to be there for my siblings, I want to be available whenever they're in need and share the knowledge I have.... I want to teach them how to fish literally and not just give them the fish.
Generally, the pressure helps me but I try to go easy on myself and enjoy myself every now and then, because so much pressure is so much ANXIETY and I would advise that we learn to place ourselves as our highest priorities, that way we know when someone is crossing their boundaries and at the same time place healthy boundaries with family and relatives.... So that way you protect your mental health. I really hope this helps someone.
Thanks for reading my blog. See you soon.
