Ah the fun of having siblings. It's weird sometimes when I think how I made Star the youngest in the family but I myself am the eldest I don't know why I made that design choice at the beginning.
Um just warning you now, the next page is a bit on the heavy side okay.
If you really can't wait to see what happens next. The next TWO pages can be found on my patreon over here on the $10 tier https://www.patreon.com/squiggle

Whether being the youngest (as I was) or the eldest, there are many ways to feel robbed of your childhood. Being the eldest sibling so you're expected to grow up fast and set a good example for your younger siblings, or being the "good child" who's expected to avoid your older siblings mistakes, and be independent and out of the way because they need all the attention to keep them on the straight and narrow
What I do find odd to think about, as an oldest child of 3 siblings, I seem to be the one that kept my inner child the most. Might be because I would keep my sister occupied for my parents or just because I enjoy the nostalgia of being young and never want to be rid of it, but even entering my last year of college I still have the heart of like 7 year old me. Don't get me wrong, I did feel like I had to grow up fast, but so did my brother and between us I seem to have kept my kid side strong. Helps when working with kids in the classroom at least : )
Nothing bad happens as such..its just a lot of personal reflection that um might make other people then reflect on themselves maybe. I dunno its probably not nearly as bad as im making out, but because its pulling from my own thought processes and experiences it hit me hard in a way i didnt expect.
pretty common in military familys my aunts first husband was in the coast gaurd and my 2 cuzens got corperal punishments like having to do pushups or burpies till they cryed right along with geting games or toys taken away and stuff.
my ex stepfather tryed this on me once or twice pushups and other exsersises one time and anothe time i was told to pick up all the leaves in the yard by hand...he was in the navy and he turnd out to be a pedo... so i have major trust issues with parental figuers as well as military parents etc.

The ups and downs of our minds while trying to be little is every bit as real as the stigma about being little. It's like we struggle to just be in a little mindset and any slip of our concentration sends us off into whatever could be related to making us want to be little in the first place. I'm not sure if that actually comes across to outsiders reading this comic.
I was the youngest, two older sisters, but we had 2 TVs! still had issues cause 2 TV's split around 5 people isn't much, and at the time Internet was dial-up... I mean my sisters would often just be in their rooms all grumpy so I had the tiny tv upstairs that you need to smack in the back every few minutes to make the picture stable. but overall, not much fighting, not like there was much to watch anyway, plus I had no issues watching the teen shows my sisters watched
Growing up as the eldest sibling but only having basic public television, PBS kids was the only kid channel. One kid wanted Sesame street, another wanted Arthur, I wanted Cyberchase. But since it was all on the same channel, we kinda just sat down and shut up and waited till out preferred show came on, even if we had to watch the kiddie stuff. Cause that was all we had. Hell even our old man would sit down and watch cartoons with us, since his stuff didn't come on until 8 at night, he didn't have a problem with us having the TV at all.
Oooh geez. Yeah, I seem to recall having this bit of this with my cousin a couple times. Although it wasn't explicity about who gets to watch what channel.
I think, back in ye ol' Nickelodeon, my cousin and I bickered on what show was going to be voted on - one side being Fairly OddParents and the other being Wild Thornberry's. Fairly OddParents won and my cousin kinda threw a fit trying to get the program to change.
Oh, and another time, my mom and I, while not exactly fighting like in the picture, debated on whether to record an old America's Funniest Videos episode (with Bob Saget) on a channel that wasn't ABC... and she really wanted to watch Survivor. We both relented saying I would record half of the episode and then stop the recording (on VHS) and then let mom watch her program.

as the bsby of the family i can attest it is NOT easy being the youngest but I also know that my big sister (i have 3 siblings but only grew up with 1 of them as the other two were either already adults or lived with their moms) didn't have it easy either. I hate to admit it but due to err...extenuating circumstances...I was a bit of a demon child on a sugar high most of the time. That being said for me there were enough TV's to go around. everyone had one in my family and there were TWO communal ones at first (one in the finished basement one in the upstairs living room. Basement was free access for hooking up the nintendo though and it was a BIIIIIIIIIIG TV so...I kind of got away with being down there all the time playing videogames XD
It was the heaped responsiblity of being the eldest that I think massively contributed to me being a little. So sometimes I think I should have made star suffer the same as me, but then I think I...guess I didnt want her to reflect me identically. I dont think I could deal with all my life being in the comic, so wanted to distance her slightly from myself so chose to flip the sibling expectation.
OH cute sibling fights. Poor Star. I have heard that being the middle is the crappiest because you are ignored but I think it either being the oldest or the youngest with a flipcoin on who has it worse.
Being the oldest son of a pair of a youngest daughter and a youngest son. Guess who ended up being the badguy every time there was a conflict :3

It's so weird to me that siblings fighting is such a commonly accepted thing.
I fought with my brother on very rare occasion, but for the most part we liked the same shows, we took turns being player 1 in games and enjoyed watching the other play in single player games.
I was oldest by 3 years, but it was never really like main brother Mario and second fiddle Luigi.
It was more like "are they twins?"
I feel it helped develop a healthy competitive attitude, like "when you're behind I'll pull you up until you can pull ahead and help me. Then we both improve."

Is it weird to say being an only child is just, really lonely. My siblings and I only share a mom so when her and my dad split I went from youngest to only. It got really really lonely being alone and sure there's friends but just. Sitting alone, in a room, just your toys a TV and your mind. As a mentally ill kid I can only imagine that formed alot of bad habits
I am the eldest in the family not just siblings wise but also all the cosin and step cosins too. tough i ended up not having my way most of the time because i was the most mature and conceeses things. The least time at the computer. The least tv time (no big deal i always hated tv) the smallest room and so on
i know what happens here... the parent comes and instead of trying to listen to them they will punish them all with no tv, making them all mad and opening the window for them to try to always be nice to their parent that way they will be little happy blank slates for them to pour a tiny version of themselves.
older siblings.. the bane of my existence. but not the end of my curiosity. I remember sneaking into the living room where my "dad" slept and secretly watching weekend stuff like sailormoon and captain future while hiding under furniture knowing full well he'd be beating me within an inch of my life if caught. Since I'd have no chance in an argument with my older siblings when we had the tv to ourselves :<
