If you're the oldest in your family, you get it. Many responsibilities fall on your back, even when they are not really yours. Then, you grow up feeling like you have to be on top of everything and everyone all the time. Let's be clear: at some point, everyone must be responsible for their own actions and consequences.
That is exactly the case in this story. It all started with a simple, seemingly innocent request: can you please wake me up? A younger brother who is not great at time management or at remembering important things asks for their older sibling's help to remind him of his to-do list. At first glance, nothing too bizarre,but what happens when one little favour becomes routine? The 22-year-old sibling starts getting more and more used to having his personal alarm clock in the shape of his older sibling. Appointments had to be reminded, and every important event started with his sibling waking him up in the morning.
Things took a turn when the younger sibling asked for the usual favour again, but the older sibling overslept and didn't end up waking his brother up in time. The younger brother ended up missing the scheduled appointment. Furious, he blamed his sibling, saying that he messed up his appointment on purpose. Apparently, the meeting was quite relevant, which made the older siblings feel a little guilty. We get it, siblings help each other all the time, but blaming them for your own calendar conflicts seems a little extreme.
When the older sibling took to the internet to figure out if he was in the wrong, the internet waited no time to take his side. Some of them related to the older sibling's feeling of having to organise everyone's lives, and some couldn't get past the younger sibling's actual age. No matter the case, we have to agree with the overall conclusion here. It is okay to help the ones you love when they ask you to, but not to become entirely responsible for their every move. Also, man, just put an alarm on your phone. We promise it works better than fighting with your older sibling.
