The Eldest Son

is it be the eldest son easy? I do not think so. there are many things that must be borne by the eldest son. he should be strong, shoulders must be as strong as steel and his heart must be as strong as rock. he who will be the backbone of the family, caring for elderly parents and raising his younger siblings lovingly. he who will guide families toward a better future. I'm also the eldest son, at least that's what I think. despite these negative thoughts always haunt me, but I'm always optimistic that everything would be fine. Do you feel the same as me?

Being the eldest son in a family of many members presents a challenging task. In my hometown, I saw many of the eldest sons who are forced to mature early so they can help their parents in the activities for the provision of family needs. It is a very big responsibility to carry. At times, the eldest forgot themselves so to care and help the other siblings. When the other siblings have their own family, it is usually to late for the eldest because he is already old to have his own family. On the one hand, some eldest sons got married too early, to be away from their parents because they are working too hard. It's a way of escape for them. Nevertheless, let's do what is right when we are the one who is the eldest in the family. All will be well with you as long as you will make it well. Good day.

There can be a lot of responsibility riding on the eldest son. I don't think this is not quite so evident in Western families as it is in other cultures.
