Hello everyone.
I have three siblings, and it's been bittersweet and rosy with them. What I mean by that is that there are days we fight and there are days we play together, and most days when things become bitter between us, I always wish I didn't have siblings and had to live my life alone on this earth without one, but the days we smile at each other, I thank God for not making me the only child of my parents.

But truth be told, deep inside me, I wish I had more elder siblings and fewer younger siblings. Growing up as the firstborn of the family is really tough, and there are days I have to sort things out by myself while also thinking of how to send my younger siblings some money, no matter how small it is. Will it not be wonderful if I have elder siblings whom I will be able to bill? But too bad I don't have any.
Due to Hivelearner's topic question, "Have you ever wished you had more or fewer siblings?
I have always wished to have more siblings, and yes, the wish comes with them being older than me, and if possible, I should be a middle child because I don't want to be the last born. Most lastborn go through a lot in their elder siblings hands by having to do most chores at home and things they are not supposed to do. That being said, I still don't wish for more younger siblings. The ones I have are always a pain in my neck. They are sweet once in a while, though😂😂.
What made me get to that point
The real deal was all because I want to have older siblings to bill, ask for advice from, be able to rely on when I need someone, and yes, I can possibly take one of them as my best friend instead of looking for someone outside my family. And for real, most elder siblings are sweet and can do anything for their younger ones, just like me. And the issues of having fewer younger siblings,deep inside me, I will have peace not thinking of how to take care of some siblings that I didn't bring to this world because, apart from the responsibility that comes with having a lot of younger siblings, you will think they are sent to frustrate your life because of how they can be at times.

How was I able to get past it?
I was able to get past it with the belief that life can't happen to me the way I want, and I just have to accept it the way it was made for me. And the fact that I have them as siblings is a decision made by their parents, and I don't have the right to question it, so all I can do is accept them as they gave birth to them. So, I get to learn to be the elder sibling that I want for my younger siblings, and sincerely, it's not easy, but it's nice being one.
I know this topic is all about having fewer or more siblings, but what first came to mind was what type of siblings. Is it male or female, older or younger? because I have seen a lot where as an elder sibling to my younger siblings😂.
Thank you for reading.
