Babies are joyful; being the baby is joyful, I would know this because I am the baby of the family. Having two older brothers, which was a blessing, because they had to be nice to me and babysit me if my parents went on a date. There are many perks and curses being the baby of the family and I will share them with you.

1. Your teachers always brought up your sibling's achievements and how much they loved them.

This was me on the first day of high school every year because I knew how popular Zach was and I knew how intelligent Justin is. Even when teachers promised me that, "They won't compare you to your siblings", they still did. I guess I was a #legacy.

2. Your parents would often call you the wrong name.

"Mom, is Zach or Justin a girl's name? No, it is not." Like the gif above, I forgot my own name for a second.

3. You had to go out of town for their soccer or basketball games.

My brothers received the athletic gene and I was the one who was dragged to every game. On the bright side, we had to travel to different places, so it was like a whole new world.

4. You were given many hand-me-downs.

If we are talking about my sister-in-law, then yes, and I enjoy the gift of free clothes.

5. If your parents were out, that means you had to go everywhere with your siblings.

Older siblings try to set excellent examples, but when our parents are gone, they know they have the "boss power". My brothers totally knew they had the "boss power".

6. You received everything you put on your Christmas/birthday list.

Even if you already have everything you ever wanted, your parents still find something to buy and give you. They love you with all of their hearts, is that so bad.

7. You were/still are spoiled rotten.

You wear your crown proudly and with pride. Ever since I was a baby, I have had a crown on my head. Thanks, Daddy.

8. Friends of your parents/siblings spoil you as well.

Chris Hemsworth said this best and I think we all agree with Mr. Hemsworth!

9. Because of your older siblings example, you are great with younger children.

Younger children are sweet, joyful and they are the light to any situation! Us, younger children, love babies!

10. You know there are more perks to being the baby than curses and are very thankful for the love everyone gave you.

Us, babies of the family, might get everything we asked for, but we know the definition of love. We love to give thanks and we love to return the love back. I know that I am spoiled by everyone in my life and I would not trade them in for anything!
