Big Bro


Big bro means eldest brother. Well, I have 1 younger brother, I guess that makes me a big bro.

I didn't choose to be a big bro, it just happened that God gave this role to me. For me, it's a privilege and a responsibility.

First of all, I think that a big bro should be a 'bridge' between parents and younger siblings. He is a center of peace in a family, he is a role model for his younger siblings.

I personally don't think that I'm qualified as a role model for my younger brother. But I think I should be proud of the level of communication between parents and younger brother.

At least, when there's a problem, parents will talk to me to seek for my opinion, younger brother will share almost everything that he dare not review to our parents. Whenever there's a conflict between parents and younger brother, I act as a peace keeper.

I strongly disagree being too controlling, big bro shouldn't control his younger siblings that much, you may have more experience and do not wish your younger siblings to experience the same bad experience like you did. But that's the only chance they can grow, just be an adviser and tell them what the pros and cons of this situation. Moreover, no one knows how the situation will turn out, bad experience for you might turn out to be a good experience for others.

Oh, 1 more thing, please don't be so calculative to your younger siblings, especially on what they said and in financial wise.
