On being a big brother

I knew it. I was right when I thought it won’t be easy. The moment I accepted the responsibility of being my four younger cousins’ guardian while they are studying here in Dumaguete, I knew it would somehow change my life. Goodbye total leisure… goodbye me, myself, and I. Instead of thinking of just my own survival, now I am setting things up for four more people.

I’m telling you this because a feeling of being extremely worried and afraid is sinking in me. I’m not complaining, never! It was my idea. It was my decision. And as a matter of fact, it’s fun. You know… teaching them things I learned as a young man, telling them how I survived college, instilling into their minds some good values I learned, and simply giving them whatever I can. Playing big brother is really cool, but I’m just afraid that they might not cooperate, or that they might not like my way of managing the house. I might be too harsh, or to loose. They have their own minds that I cannot control. My brother is helping me out, but he’s leaving Dumaguete very soon. I’ll be doing it alone.

Well, we’ll see. Good luck to me. I’ll just do whatever I can. No regrets! If you can give me some tips on how to be a good big bro, please don’t hesitate to share. Hehehehe!
