Growing up as the youngest sibling was a blessing and a curse. Throughout the course of my life, my sister, Ashley, has always claimed that my parents spoiled me, which may be true, but I'm not ashamed of it. Of course it isn't just people who are the youngest sibling that are spoiled, but for me, it was one of the main reasons why.
1. You get really good presents.
Even at a young age, I was given great items such as a brand new Nintendo DS or a go-kart. The latest trends were always in my hands the second they hit the store.
2. You always had money in your wallet, which probably came from your dad.
Most likely, when your friends wanted to go out on a Friday night the first person you asked money for was your dad. Being a daddy's girl and all, I got used to giving the puppy eyes and also getting a twenty.
3. You rarely have to do chores.
This one was super accurate for me, until my sister moved out anyway. Growing up she was always the one stuck with cleaning and taking care of the pets, while I got to sit back and play with legos.
4. You have your own room, which was probably the biggest in the house.
I remember when our family moved into our new house a few years ago. I got the bedroom with the biggest closet. My mom still gives me crap about it to this day.
5. You are close to your parents.
Although you may be spoiled, and get constant criticism from others about it, it is still a wonderful feeling. I know that my parents treat me the way they do because of how much they love and care for me, and I wouldn't trade that for anything.
