The Older Sibling Effect

Generally perpetuated by older siblings, this effect takes place when something is so hyped up or raved about by someone, that you grow to despise it.

surrogate older sibling

A person who fulfills the vacancy to be the surrogate older sibling in a family where the oldest child has left home whilst the younger sibling(s) are still too young to move out. Such vacancies are commonly found on the Happy Family sticker in the rear windshield of the family car. This role often involves providing guidance, support, and companionship in the absence of the biological older sibling.
