I'm the older of my brother by three years. I'm usually the bossy one and have been know to be extra mean, too. As the older of the two, I've been more spoiled and have lots of pictures taken. But my role is supposed to be a `second parent`, which I've failed miserably in this lifetime.
It appears that the youngest member always look up to the elder for guidance, which explains my lack of `rearing abilities`. And since I was the oldest for most the paternal cousins, most of them don't care if I exist because I failed to participate in their affairs.
