This morning, I saw a reality that too many firstborns grow up living.
A little girl, no more than six, walking to school with her younger sister, maybe four. She held her hand tightly, not as a playmate, but like a guardian. Each time they approached the road, she gently pulled her inward, shielding her from passing vehicles. The younger one was crying, probably denied something from home, her tears loud and restless. Yet the older girl did not complain. She kept walking, whispering comfort, steadying her sister’s steps, carrying a responsibility far bigger than her age.
That is the quiet burden of firstborns.
From childhood, they are assigned roles they never applied for. Protector, caregiver, example, second parent, etc. While other children are allowed to be children, firstborns are taught to be careful, to be strong, to look out for others. Their mistakes are lessons, their sacrifices expected, their maturity forced into existence too early.
They learn responsibility before they learn freedom. They carry siblings on their backs, emotionally and sometimes physically. They are told to understand, to endure, to adjust, because they are the “eldest”. No one asks if they are tired. No one asks if they are ready.
The weight placed on firstborns is unreal, yet they carry it quietly, often with love, often with pain.
If there is any fairness in nature, then firstborns deserve to be rewarded with everything good life has to offer. Peace, softness, ease and love that chooses them first for once.
Nepotize me lord. You’re my father. Let them know. Put me in places they think I don’t deserve and let them know “my child gets anything and everything she desires”
