Oldest

I saw my parents, I hear them and I feel them. But something's weird,. Why are they not fighting anymore? Usually I would think that everything is better now but as I grow older I started to lose hope. There's no such a thing as a "happy family", at least, not for me. Thinking about this makes me feel low, I try to think of positive thoughts but it's usually not enough, the older that I grow the worst that I feel, then I woke up from the sound of my parents fighting, my siblings playing, and our dogs barking.

I slowly stood up and got out of my room, my mother looked at me and started yelling at me for "staying up at night" and being "lazy" as she had to cook for my siblings. Why should I cook for them? They're your children,, and I am too, being the oldest does not mean that I have to take care of them and become the so-called "3rd parent". It doesn't stop, it never did!

 I wish that I was a kid again when I didn't have to take care of anyone,

 I wish that I was a kid again when I didn't have to take on jobs just to feed myself.

Ah, no. I just wish that my family.. . . . .

..." WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? " My mother yelled, I apologized before my dad started to criticize my mom for yelling at me telling her that I was still a child and didn't have to cook for anyone. At least he understands....

I walked over to the kids room and my siblings ran up to me, "Big-, big brother! Do you have time now?" Dib, the youngest of my siblings asked. Of course, I wouldn't have come here if I didn't, I smiled at them warmly before hugging them.

"Brother- you're choking us!" I immediately let go of them not wanting to hurt their fragile body. "Ah, I'm sorry about that, you guys weren't hurt right?" I asked before asking again "Mom cooked for you guys, right? Did you guys eat enough? " I asked as I didn't trust my parents considering the fact that they've never even took enough care of them that they only see them as 'caretakers' who live in our house.

I didn't mind it, as long as they're okay then I'm fine with it. I'm fine with working multiple part-times while studying in order to get a proper job, so I can move away from this broken family.

"Yep! we also ate the fruits that you gave to us, we made sure to wash it! " Medea,the middle child of our family smiled softly quite proud of herself being able to wash the fruits. "That's good, you guys are such good kids being able to wash it without me telling you to. "
