As the youngest daughter, are you...

I am the youngest of myself and my sister, and there really hasn't been a difference in the way we were treated by our parents. My older sister was trusted with more responsibility when she hit a certain age, and I got the same treatment when I reached the same age. My parents haven't spoiled me anymore than they've spoiled her. I guess it just depends on who your parents are.

I am the youngest in the family but I don't think that I have more responsibilties than my elder sister. Sometimes I may even think that I have less responsibility than her. When we were children she held the responsiblity to take me to school, to play and all. Now both of us shares our family responsibilities like taking care of our parents etc.

In my case, it is a little of both. I get my way a lot, but at the same time I have more responsibility.

Same here!!! I guess I can also call them spoiled brats. Although I'm not really expected to do all the work because I'm the youngest, I still end up doing the work because they don't know how to do certain jobs and ask me to do it. I get a lot of responsibility because I'm the only responsible one brave enough to do the work. This is especially true with paperworks and business stuff. Sometimes they have to wait for me to make decisions and stuff. Its sad how the older ones can get so irresponsible.

hi... i am the exact opposite... i am the oldest and i have almost all the responsibilities at home.... wahhh!!! i feel so bad... my 2 brothers are not pressured as i am.... they can get away with things that i can never can... what! i feel bad about this...

I'm not the youngest daughter, but I am the oldest. My sister in law is the youngest. So I will give you my opinions on both. As the oldest, I carried the brunt of the household responsibilities. I was also the one who got in more trouble than my brother did. I was expected to keep a tidy room and do the dishes as well as keeping good grades.. Because of my childhood, I have always been the "mothering type". Taking on any task when there is something to be finished and making sure it was done correctly. Now my sister in law, is the baby of her family and the only daughter. She has it the easiest. She has 2 older brothers and although she had chores to do she was and still is sort of lazy. She has no street smarts and I kind of feel like she was a bit sheltered in life. So to answer your question yea it should be the other way around, but with respect to your parents, if they feel that you are the more responsible child then that could be the reason your expected to do so much. I'll take your work on your siblings being spoiled brats, my sister in law was definatley spoiled... she still is. lol

I am the youngest in the family..But my dad thinks that being the youngest doesn't get me special treatments..I have to learn the responsibilities. He always say that being a girl, I need to practice and learn household chores because time will come that I would have my own family. That if I'm lazy and doesn't even know how to do it, my future husband would send me back to my parents..lol..My older siblings did the same chores, so no problem with that..Sometimes, though, I get to skip some chores due to school pressure..Just telling my dad that I'm having difficulty in a subject, he would send me to my room to study some more..simply because, he wants me to have good grades and don't want me saying in the end that my chores got in the way in achieving high grades..lol..
