1. You are always compared to your older siblings. E.g my sister is (in my parents eyes) so amazing. She worked so hard for her exams, her room is really tidy, and she applied to one job and got it. My brother is lazy, his room is never tidy, he's rude and did not do well in school. Me on the other hand, I'm either "just like your brother" or I "need to be more like your sister". I am never seen as my own person, just variations of my brother and sister.

2. You never get anything new. If I need a pair of jeans because mine don't fit anymore, I get my sisters old ones. If I need a new desk I get my brothers old one and he gets the new one. E.g 4 years me and my sister had to decide who got to stay in the big room that we shared and who had to move into the tiny one. Obviously she got the bigger one but she also gave me everything that she didn't want anymore, so my room is tiny and it looks like I'm a hoarder because she uses my room for storage, and she has the audacity to say "I like how simplistic and empty my room looks".

3. They claim that they are hard done by because you always get things a couple years earlier. THAT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T INVENTED WHEN YOU WERE MY AGE. So yeah maybe you got a shitty Nokia when you were 11 and I got a blackberry (tbh these are also shit phones but at the time they were great) when I was 11. Because a Nokia was good when you were eleven and a blackberry was good when I was eleven.
