Why do parents blame their oldest for everything?

I am the eldest, with an 8 year old sister and 4 year old brother. When we are all together and one of them end's up hurt, i'm usually the one that has to explain the situation, however, as long as it wasn't my fault i generally don't get blamed, unless it is something that i could have prevented.

In your case i think that your mum is just tired at the end of the day and had a short temper. If i were you i would talk to her about it. Tell her how you feel and how it upsets you.

i'm no longer fairly the oldest, yet my great brother would not like being around the kinfolk sim basically seen the eldest while i'm around my 2 little brothers. I additionally am continually blamed for situation that i did no longer even do, I regularly am additionally the only blamed while my brothers are those that do issues to ME! I advise, actual mum, what did I do? How am I accountable? i actually do understand the place you're coming type and that i too hate it. My mum continually says 'you are the oldest, you will possibly desire to understand greater useful than that' or 'Get some straightforward experience, you ought to not acted so immature'. I actual think of that my mum loves my youthful siblings greater advantageous than she does me and enjoys wrapping them in cotton wool. yet quickly sufficient i'm would be sufficiently previous to omit out of kinfolk stuff and not might desire to spend time with my youthful siblings so i can not be blamed anymore.

Yea I have an 11 year old sister, because your older in a way you have to take responsibility for your sibling. I know it wasn't your fault but because you are older your mum shouted at you, she can't exactly shout at your 8 year old sister. Just go up to her when she is nice and calm and tell her what actually happened and how she upset you. She will most likely apologize as she didn't realize what she had done.

I understand u i have a sister of the same age and i always get blamed for everything just tell ur parents what reaally happened ..ithink that they blame the oldest because their older and they're supposed to have a responsibility just relax it happens to everyone even me.. well i hope i helped !! Good luck :)

hmm..........you are old one and because they have all their expectations from u Mainly because they expect that you will have learned how to do everything by now, so they expect you to be more 'grown up' and do what's right all of the time! their oldest child....and dont take it seriously they love u and care for u
