Question

Why do littel kids have to listen to their big brothers or sisters?

Answer 1

I never understood that either. We didn't choose to be younger then them. I never stand for any c**p from them, I listen to my parents and that's it.

Answer 2

Since they are often the helpers of their parents, they are only trying to make you follow the rules. They just know more of the rules then you do.

Answer 3

They don't older kids seem to taunt the little kids so they follow and get their way

Answer 4

so they can learn. and since they're older, they know more.

it's respect also. and idk, you just have always had to ...lol

Answer 5

No idea

My sister (18) bosses me around and I get really PO'ed at her cuz she thinks shes the boss cuz I'm 13

My brother (20) doesn't though. I like him more. haha

Answer 6

Well usually, the older siblings are the ones that always had to put up with parents discipline when they were young. And by listening to them can help you get out of things, learn alot and just avoid trouble.

Answer 7

I only want my younger children to listen to their big sister when she is babysitting for them, because she's in charge then.  When I am home, she is NOT the boss, and they do not have to obey her.
