Why are younger siblings so annoying?

-

 Hey y'all!

A lot of us reading this post are either a single child or a younger or an older child(duh, obviously). 

If you're an older sibling reading this, trust me you'll love it; but if you're a younger one, sorry but this is going to be calling out all your very annoying antics that you don't get scolded for and seem to get away with -_- If you're neither, enjoy me ranting about how annoying younger siblings can get :)

I am an older sibling with an age difference of 5 years with my sister and trust me when I say, no matter what the age gap is, the younger siblings are always very galling. Right from kicking you off the bed when you're asleep to singing creepy songs in the middle of the night to blackmailing you with the smallest things ever-they've done it all; and most times don't even regret and apologise for it.

Just a few of the annoying things my younger sister has done includes stealing my clothes, coming into my room while I was in a class and turning on my mic and camera "accidently", secretly taking my phone to see my messages and putting the blame on me in situations where she was clearly at fault.

And the worst part is, most of the time, they don't even get scolded for it😒

I'm sure most of us have had our younger siblings tag along in a social situation with you-whether you're just going down to play or have some people of your age home- every single time in my case(It's so vexing right?) She would constantly nag and beg at my feet and make those puppy eyes indicating "Please take me" and at times it gets so frustrating that you can't even no and have to take them with you :(

Nevertheless, its not all bad. They're your partners in crime and will definitely help you cover up your gaffes-of course there's a very real chance they will threaten you by scaring you with the fact that they'll tell your parents if you don't do something for them :P

They'll party with you late at night and help you sneak food in from the kitchen as well as give you "moral support" when you require it at 3 a.m. 

Of course there are plenty of pros to being the older sibling too :)

You get to 'friendly' bully them into doing things for you, you have a lot freedom to do things than your siblings and get to brag about it(hehe) and of course not to forget the sense of pride knowing life-altering secrets before your siblings did, like the truth about Santa :P

Every relationship with siblings is unique. No matter how annoying they get, at the end of the day you still love and support each other :)

That's it for today's #faltufriday post! Don't forget to share and subscribe for more :) Drop off if you're a sibling or a single child and some annoying things your siblings have done to trouble you. 

Signing off,

Kuhu :)

The Broken Hot Chocolate Machine

 I've been in college for about over a month now. In the 40 days I've spent here, I've visited the food hall over 100 times - of which the Hot chocolate machine has been broken for over 90. Bombay's humidity was quickly replaced by Boston's "Fall" (it's winter guys) and the only thing helping me through the transition was a cup of hot chocolate every morning. But about 2 weeks in, the hot chocolate machine broke.       Initially, a piece of paper, closely stuck by tape, lay pressed against the machine: " Hot Chocolate Machine is Broken! "  4 weeks in, it's now a laminated sheet of paper, carefully stuck to the machine. Someone took the time to type it out onto a computer, print it, cut it, have it laminated, and stick it up to the machine. Do you know what they could be doing in that time? (Hint: getting the machine fixed!) This post is not about the machine. (Obviously Kuhu, it's a Mental Health blog - get to the point!) We often pro

The Constant Comparison Circle

"Wish I had hair like them." "How do they manage being the best at EVERYTHING?" "They're so fit  - look at me: a couch potato" We've all compared ourselves with the people around us. We all compare ourselves with the people around us. We get jealous, begrudged and green with envy. And sometimes we just smile to not let the world know. We get insecure. We feel bad. But what we always forget to accept is the state of the situation. Our situation - their situation. Literally no one out there is a 100% happy with their lives. And, unlike the cliches, maybe we shouldn't be.  Who said that you have to be happy all the time? If you're happy all the time then how do you become a better version of yourself? There will always be someone smarter, richer, more popular, and better-looking than you. Healthy competition is good. It's not a bad thing to have people be better than you. It's a bad thing if you accept that you can never work hard and

Consistency and the 4 Year Special

“Isn’t it funny how, day by day, nothing changes, but when we look back, everything is different.” -C.S. Lewis If you go to the gym for the first time, and you work out, and you come back, you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. If you go to the gym the next day, and you come back, and you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. Clearly, there are no results, can't be measured, it must not be effective, right? This is the thought that often leads to us quitting. The problem doesn't solely lie in the lack of patience, but rather, in the lack of material. If we don't see it, we tend to believe it doesn't exist. That's where we get it wrong. "Good things take time. Getting better takes time. Building a habit takes time." But they also take consistency.  Going to the gym for nine hours does for a day not get you into shape. Working out every day for 30 minutes gets you into shape. Studying a chapter one night before may work (sometimes); but in t

Is a Fresh Start Always the Best Thing?

-

 Before starting Junior year, I pledged to myself that I would make it "my year." I would study super hard, I'd make a million friends, and I'd come under the teacher's radar. Jump to September 2022,  I was burnt out. Walking back home with earphones plugged in, I remembered the first line of this post. And then I also realised how incredibly stupid it was of me to think I could ever accomplish it. Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't stupid because it was unattainable; it was stupid because it was unsustainable. Many a time, when we wish to just give up everything and "move on" ( start completely fresh), we tend to forget our past and our learnings from it. That is (one of) the biggest mistake we as humans make. Rather than acknowledging a fact, we tend to ignore it and act like nothing happened because after all, Ignorance is Bliss, na? A fresh start shouldn't mean giving up your whole life in pursuit of something new. A fresh start is when yo
