          I am the youngest of four children and the only girl in our family. My brothers are 14, 12 and 10 years older than I am. when I was yonger I loved being the baby in the family. It was wonderful to have three older brothers to take care of me. I always got along well to them They often bought me presents and I always felt special. Now that I am an adult, however, I hate it. No one in my family takes me seriously. Even though I am 32, they all still treat me like a child. they are always trying to give me and my husband advice about everything from the way that we raise our children to the kind of house we should by. I love my brothers but I need to feel independent too.
