    28 Struggles Of Growing Up With An Older Brother

    One day you'll get along with them. One day.

    1. Growing up with an older brother meant you were always the butt of the joke.

    2. You would always get punished for something you didn't do because he knew how to manipulate your parents more than you did.

    3. You had to play all by yourself because your brother was too busy playing with kids his own age.

    4. New clothes wasn't an option for you. All your "new clothing" was your brother's old clothing.

    5. You have trust issues because of that one time he gave you dog food and convinced you it was cereal.

    6. You lived in fear because you never knew how your brother would creep up on you and scare you.

    7. After all, he was an expert at making your nightmares come to life.

    8. He never gave up in finding creative ways to convince you that you were adopted.

    9. Your brother's dangerous stunt required a human volunteer. OK, no problem. He would use you.

    10. You were always the victim of all his evil jokes.

    11. You were also the target of physical abuse or as your brother would call it "brotherly love."

    Via vine.co

    It looked bad, but you would come out A-OK! He only meant to show you his love.

    12. "But I want to walk ahead..." Nope! You are the youngest, therefore inferior and all your arguments were always invalid.

    13. You always had the never-ending argument of "I'm the favorite child" with him.

    14. You had so many fights with him in which you would end up crying and your parents forced you to hug it out.

    You gave each other enough time to regain your strength so you could go at it again later.

    15. The pointless fights NEVER ended.

    And you hardly ever got a victory.

    16. You would often times try to seem tougher than you were.

    17. Your parents had to find creative ways to make you get along.

    18. Fighting over the remote was a daily routine.

    19. When playing video games you had no choice but to be player two and get the controller with the broken joy stick.

    20. He never gave you a decent Christmas present.

    21. Or a birthday present for that matter.

    22. Sharing is not your best quality because of that one time he never returned your scooter, and that one time you broke his action figure.

    23. He owes you hundreds of dollars because that's how he convinced you to do things.

    24. You thought twice before doing something to him because he would get back to you and it would be 10 times worse.

    25. But although he took all your food...

    26. And although he tortured you constantly...

    27. Your brother has secretly looked after you...

    28. And you know that he will always be there for you.
