That is right. Some parents would think the elder siblings will help in raising the younger ones but they forget that the elder ones have their lives to live. You only get to enjoy it (being the youngest) when everyone is still around but after that stage, you have a lot of work to do to keep yourself running well.

I had to help a lot with my younger brothers. More than what is generally required these days - and I didn't have the tools either. But it still did me good - and hopefully they have forgiven me being the bossy older sister! However, as you said, older siblings finish growing up and leave the home. My youngest brother was 12 when I left home. Seems sad to have missed out on his teenage years.
