What is your role in your family?

[Doubt The Rabbit]

I'm kind of the person who gets blamed for everything, even if it's not my fault, and just kind of stand there and take it. :|
Then I have to get over it and go back to being the family stepping stone. Or punching bag. It depends on whether or not everyone's having a good day.

I'm the Go To girl....always.

 

[Doubt The Rabbit]

I get a little of that from my parents.

 

[tehdreamer]

The mediator, the second parent, the care giver, the rational one. And when no one needs me to find, fix, or make something... I'm the invisible one.

 

[lomojojo]

The one who knows where everything is, the chef, the driver, the maid if I allow it, the homework helper, etc, etc, you get the picture...

Hi-
I'm the oldest of 5, so I've been put in charge of things and I'm supposed to be the mature one. One of my brothers was the scapegoat-type when we were younger and a lot of times I thought it wasn't fair for him to be seen that way.

I'm the second oldest of 4, but my half-brother lived with his father, so I ended up being the second caretaker and the mature one for a while until there was no one to take care of. Now I have my current title and I don't think anyone will be taking it any time soon ;P
Although I'm still expected to be understanding of certain things that I honestly don't want to "understand."

 

[edgecrusher]

i just exist pretty much. no real purpose, i am just a member.

 

[Brother Karl]

I am the youngest but I am constantly jostling for equal position.

 

[Calm]

I am the person everyone comes to talk to if they feel down, shigh. Sometimes it gets heavy. But I am not a care taker, I use people.

 

[SophiaGrace]

But I am not a care taker, I use people.

Oh that's nice to hear....*sarcasm*

 

[Calm]

I've been used so much that I just don't care anymore.

 

[SophiaGrace]

I've been used so much that I just don't care anymore.

No it seems like you've turned into the agressor so people wouldn't use YOU.

What is your basis on such assumption?

What you've said....

am I wrong?

What you've said....

And what I have said that makes you assume I am an agressor (which basically means I am searching out people to use)?

Do you know my life? My thoughts?

She meant that you take advantage of people before they take advantage of you.

 

[Nina]

I'm the "creative listener" always... family, friends, everyone... It's fine, except when I have something to say... The rest of the time I'm the mom-wife-friend, DO-it-all woman...

 

[SophiaGrace]

*nods* That's what I meant.

I don't want to argue with you (Calm), I'm sorry. This should be a private chat. Youre right though, I DONT know you and am basing my opinions on what little I do know of you via your posts. Feel free to correct me though.

People say you learn more by listening than talking....

Though I can relate to feeling unheeded when you want to say something and you've been the one to listen all the time.

 

[Nina]

Soph, I do think I learn a lot listening, but it's rough when you realize that is what you've become to the person...just a "sounding board" Then you just got to get cooking and find someone who will listen to you. That's what I did too!
