I Am the Oldest Sibling

Is it better to be the oldest, youngest or someplace in the middle?

The youngest, my little sister's always gotten away with things I would've been killed for.

@ScrewThisImDone because she was the favorite or because parents were tired out by time she came around so they just let things slide?

I’m sure it’s a bit of both, and the fact dad walked out when she was two, so Mom kind of overcompensated as far as spoiling that little pest.
@ScrewThisImDone Best of luck with these feelings. They resurfaced for my mother and her siblings late in life. They all died with things unreconciled. I might suggest that you try to deal with it while everyone is alive and healthy, albeit perhaps angry or worse. Sometimes a good religious leader trained in family counselling can help.
