When people look at the youngest child in the family, they usually think that child is the luckiest for being the youngest, which may be true. But there's a lot of things about being the youngest that sucks that nobody realizes.

For starters, I have hardly any baby pictures. I'm the youngest of six and by the time I came along, the excitement was gone. Parents love to take pictures of their first born because it's their first, but sixth? Forget it. Everyone has already seen all of the siblings go through each milestone, no need to document the last baby doing it too.

I'm always introduced as "The baby". I am almost twenty years old. I am not a baby anymore. Not to mention, "The baby" makes me sound so innocent and little. No thank you.

I always wanted a little sibling. But no. They had me and that was the end of it. I wish I was the oldest so I could have the little siblings to play with and mentor but instead I got the older siblings to pick on me and beat me up.

Speaking of older siblings, they suck. Don't get me wrong, I love them to death now, but back then, I hated them all. They can be so cruel at young ages. I was always too little to hang out with them and such an easy target for them and their friends.

These days, they're all 21 or over, and I am not. So that means that I am the designated babysitter for their kids when they want to go have some drinks. I love the kids, but I'm family too! I want to go out with you guys even though I can't drink!

I'll be honest, I am spoiled as the youngest. But I haven't been able to become more independent because of it. If I am ever broke and screwed, my parents will lend me money. I basically rely on that half the time. I haven't been on my own to learn how to really control my money because I know they will save my butt if I need them to.
