    First daughter. More than a maid. When your dad doesn't take responsibility for the family, the mother becomes the father, and the first daughter becomes a mother.
    I thank God that we are all doing ok in life.
    We are not where we want to be but eternally grateful for where we are.

      I’m a male but I understand your case. I saw it in my sisters when I was very young. My brothers wouldn’t wash n my sis will have to wash it for them. After that she’ll cook for my bros to come eat. I helped her when I grew up even though I was a little stubborn 😂

      Funny enough, they changed as they grew older. They can all cook now.

    We are 4 siblings 3 boys and a girl who is a last born. I'm the third born and also the last boy. My elder brother has a work buh playing i don't care tactics. The second born is the one taking all the responsibilities and adey feel for am. I'm now in the university and he is taking about 80% of everything in my education. He is 8yrs older than me. He is married with two children so he has to take care of them as well as we the younger siblings. He gives money to our parent every month. Tho my dad is trying buh the strength is not like at first. All i pray for is to get a job immediately after graduation to support him.

    In my home, the eldest was a girl and she had no reason to fail even in school her option was to be first in class and nothing else, when we do something wrong she is partly blamed, in has much as she was pampered but it was making sure she lived an exemplary life for us. Grow up seeing my sis has an angel 😂😂😂😂 me as a middle child dier my option was to do well in class so at least be between the first 5 in class, each and everyone one of us had a fair share of pampering. I had to do chores cause my eldest sis was just raised to learn, eat and do well cause she is an example to the 3 of us behind her. Luckily for me I go to the eldest and second born(boy) for money 😂😂😂😂 our last born doesn’t ask me anything he has my parents and elder siblings 😂😂😂

    Growing up, my grandfather sponsored my elder brother throughout his education but he impregnated a lady and had to drop out of school. Furiously, my grandfather turned his attention towards me and took me through school from secondary school to the university. I graduated with honors 🎖 and I'm nowing working with one of the multi national companies in Ghana with a good pay. Sadly, my grandfather passed away when i turned out good. I the youngest have to now take care of the elders. God has been good to me👍 🙏. Nice interaction from you guys❤ Keep it up.

I advice ladies don't rush into marriage no matter the pressure, remember at the end of the day you will be in the marriage.

    I'm the first born and the only son of my parents. I have five females behind me and it's not easy. My father too is no more and my Mom too is not making things easy for me. She never discusses with me about anything, never care about my sisters and I'm the only one taking all the responsibilities meanwhile she has all the cocoa farms in her custody and will not even spare 1 cedi to push my siblings. I'm even tired and I'm just very close to 30. When will I even stop and concentrate on myself? The pressure of first Borns. My woman left me because of that.

    Hmmm this issue if we go talk we no go finish..😂 speaking as a first from typical African home , I must honestly say its a bit of a mix feelings... From childhood you receive the stricter discipline , because the younger ones "need" to learn from you... In house chores, in school, in the 3:00 society... You are automatically "supposed" to be the yardstick for your siblings which puts alot of unnecessary pressure on you, on days money no dey you sacrifice for your siblings to go to school and u stay home. Now we grow, money no dey... you have to hustle to help keep them in school meaning, you can't go all the way academically as you wanted. And you can't afford to say you don't have money when u are asked Even when you don't have. Like I said it's a lot and extremely hard if u are having single unemployed mother rasing 3 boys. So yh... It's hard but I never regret any scarifices I made or am making. Love my brothers and my mom ❤😊

      Well I think first off, they have the same responsibilities as the males, but add on to that
      1. The fact that females mature early, which means they start their leadership earlier.
      2. The stress of the girl child is increased ten fold in a firstborn, the pressure to not keep bad company, not carry pregnancy etc. is crazy.
      3. And once they even get older... there's the marrying first thing.

    The only time pressure go catch me is when my parents that’s given me that pressure has a trust, going to babysit and will provide an extensive support to me after having that baby they have been pressuring me to have. Otherwise forget it. Is my life my rules. Everybody is responsible for themselves, thus being the first or last born doesn’t mean you should assume the responsibilities of another person. We are all struggling in this thing called life. Don’t let anyone pressure you because when you screw up the ownership is on you. Stay woke people and don’t get sucked into this primitive mindset that most Africans have.

      Before you know it, all the responsibilities are on you. It's not something you sign up for.
      We, the next generation knows better, so we won't do that to our kids.

    its not a hearsay or just something k3k3. After age 35 your chances of geriatric pregnancies are high and it may affect your life or the baby's or your health so its just better if you give birth early hence the pressure. and lets not forget men prefer younger women than older women so your value on the dating market won't get close to the new 20-25 year olds. they may get chosen before you
