I am truly grateful that I have my big sister living with me for years. She has been my extra hand in the house. Being a working mom with three kids all in school, its not easy for me to do work in the house and work in the office. She is very caring and she loves us sincerely. My kids love her as well. There is no problem with hubby because they are good.
I know that she is not about to live with me forever because she also has plans in her life.
Do you have a family member who lives with you and offers some help?

I am the big sister in the family, mom and dad is guiding me but with my siblings, I am the one who is taking care of them while studying at the same time because mom and dad have work.
It is difficult to be the eldest. They expect you not to get tired and to always get things right. Whenever I want to share something I feel invalidated, that is why I learned to be okay even if I am not and to do my duties as the eldest without saying I am already tired.
You are very lucky to have a big sister like her. And I admit that maybe if I have a big sister, she'll be a great and brave helping hand.

I understand how you feel. Though I am the second to the youngest, I can see and appreciate all the love and care that my elder sisters have been showering me all this time. Your parents must ahve been proud of you and I can tell that your siblings are blessed to have a big sister like you.

No I don't. Since I'm the youngest I am the one helping my older sisters and oldest sister with their problems in life especially in their homes. I'm just like your sister so to speak

A long time I was the big sister, and I had to help with 3 sisters and 3 brothers. It was like I was always a mother.

That is so sweet of her living with you so she can help. As of the moment my sister lives with my brother. My sister and her husband both work outside while my brother works from home. He can look after the kids while their parents are not around.
