11 Things Only Lebanese Eldest Children Understand

There’s nothing as universal as the eldest child’s experience. And in Lebanon, that is really no different. To the many many eldest children that are sprayed out across Lebanon’s vast lands, here are 11 things only you will understand.

1. You had to deal with all the bullshit

You’re the oldest child ever.

2. You deserve 50% of your siblings’ degrees

These kids can barely write a paragraph without me.

3. You’re the third parent

Born too early to experience the joys of the middle child, born too late to not have your own children…or something.

4. Oh, we don’t care about that anymore?

I guess all those times I ran back home before curfew and had to change my outfit 18 times were for nothing then.

5. Shu hal jeel?

Back in my day, we had to wait for a Youtube video to buffer.

6. All your previous items somehow make their way into your siblings’ possessions

And no one is even grateful.

7. You have never been a child

Some would say you’ll always be a child too, so rip 2 u.

8. You’re the only one who really understands your parents

9. You used to study under the tree

Wait- that’s the other old people, our bad.

10. How did I become the provider of the family?

Why am I buying my 6 year old brother roblox bucks with my first paycheck?

11. This house would literally fall apart without me

None of you! None of you could do what I do.
