Boomers and Gen X

So my parents are older than most people’s parents in my age group.

Anyway, the adults in my life fucking suck. My younger sister was born when I was 5 years old and on that day, everyone told me I was a child anymore because I was a big sister. Wtf. I was still 5 years old.

I remember being really angry any time an adult told me to grow up and stop acting like a child because I had a baby sister now. I was literally 5.

All the adults in my life were trying to convince me I was wrong and that I needed to grow the fuck up anytime I did something like cry or asked for help. BECAUSE I WAS 5.

They always compared me to my cousins who were literally in high school at that time and would question me like “why can’t you be more like them?!” Idk maybe because I WAS 5???!!! Like wtf?

Everyone tried to convince me I was wrong af for basically acting my age. When my sister was born, they expected me to act grown as fuck and because that’s how everyone treated me, my sister grew up also believing I was a shitty sister for not being grown enough for her. She expected me to take care of her the same way all the adults in our life were able to care for her, but even then I was still a child. When she was 5, I was 10 years old. Wtf is a 10 year old gonna do you??? There was only so much I could do at mother fucking 10 years old and here comes this kid believing everything the adults say and feeling entitled that she needed to be babied by me, who was only 10 years old.

I knew my family was trippin and as an adult, they still think the same way including my sister who hates me for not being the adult she needed me to be at the time (again, I was in still elementary so wtf), but everyone I meet as an adult says that it’s literally fucking crazy to expect a 5-10 year old to basically act like an adult or even a teenager.

These dumbass motherfuckers expected me to basically become a third parent to my sister at the age of 5 and have held that against me ever since but I don’t give a FUCK. I feel like my childhood was taken from me before I even got to live it and now that I’m an adult, I know for a fact I was right.
These old ass people kept having all these kids without ever wanting to actually raise the kids themselves. They expected their older kids to raise the younger ones, but this mindset is stupid as fuck because yeah, I was the older sibling, but I was also FIVE YEARS OLD.

I hate old people so much. I don’t want to interact with old people. I’m happy the people in my family were already old as fuck when I was kid because most of them are dying out now.

Unless my sister wants to go take care of everyone herself, they better not expect me to speak to them ever again. I want nothing to do with my parents or my old ass relatives. I don’t care what happens to them. I don’t care if they end up in a nursing home or not. They can figure that shit out themselves. Im never speaking to my whole ass family ever again.
