4: Pros and Cons of Being The "Anak Bongsu"
Assalamualaikum and hi.
Seeing the title of this very post, I'm pretty sure that most of the readers can guess that I'm the youngest child. Oh, you know, the youngest child, the ones who are stereotypically labeled as the most spoiled, brattiest, and irresponsible kid in sibling.
Hahaha just kidding. Tak stereotaip, sebab memang betul pun labels tu. Well, betul based on my experiences as the youngest child lah kan. But hey, berdasarkan pengalaman aku jugak, bukan anak last je yang manja ni. Some of the eldest child or middle child are childish too, from time to time. Dah la, hari ni aku bukannya nak bandingkan which one is better pun, tapi aku nak cakap pasal the pros and cons of being the anak bongsu.
THAT'S RIGHT, BAHASA AKU MEMANG ROJAK. SANGAT SANGAT. SORRY! TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, THANKS, MUCH LOVE! XO

Oooookay so. Lemme just get straight to the point since it's already 4.46 in the morning and my brain can't really function well. But I still wanna jot down my thoughts. Early morning thoughts. Nah:
PROS OF BEING THE YOUNGEST CHILD
1. You can be spoiled and brat anytime you wish, no one will get mad at you because you're the youngest. One score! Of course, you'll eventually get lectures. But whatever.
2. You're filthy rich. Why? Because you have your parents' allowances and you can bat your eyelashes and ask for your older siblings to buy stuff for you. This is very much true. Of course, this one is only true if your older siblings have their own money and pretty generous and love you.
3. Seriously, you can get away from your own faults.
4. People will spoil you dearly.
5. You'll have protective bodyguards.
CONS OF BEING THE YOUNGEST CHILD
1. Pretty positive that you're independent. Not all, just some. Or most.
2. You'll be forced to act matured, and even think matured by condition. Things will get serious when you're just young.
3. Your parents expect you to be exactly like your older siblings. Wise, matured, responsible.
4. If your older siblings have failed, you carry the burden of being the perfect child. This, of course, doesn't apply to everyone.
5. Celebrations get old. Example; if your eldest sister/brother's birthday celebrations stop at 16 or 18, yours will stop at 10. Because parents get tired. They grow old, they don't wanna do celebrations. This, too, doesn't apply to everyone.

You know what? Don't believe me. These stuff are super not real. Turns out, I'm just ranting for no reasons at all. My brain seriously needs a break. Haha. Anyhow, thanks for reading!
XO, Farihah.
