Parents get angry at 16-year-old for not making food for her spoiled 11-year-old sister when she demanded: 'I told her no, but that she had two working legs'

It's important to learn lessons about doing things for yourself, and the later you learn them, the harder that lesson is going to be. Some people, of course, manage to never even learn this lesson, but one would argue that when you come across these people those experiences generally serve more as cautionary tales.

The erosions of their parents' supposedly hard-and-fast rules and strict parenting beliefs have long been a frustration of oldest siblings. At any given age, their parents anxiously held more tightly to every rule, and more carefully weighed the risks of every new thing that the child might want to do, was carefully considered and likely to be forbidden—especially if it had a monetary cost associated with it.

But by the time the younger siblings, and especially the youngest, come along, the parents realize that some things and some experiences their children will be ok even if they don't cling tightly to them and take on a more laissez-faire and easy-breezy outlook on parenting.

The older parents have probably also progressed further in their careers and money isn't quite so tight anymore, so the youngest will enjoy perks that the oldest could have never dreamed of and got to do things that the older siblings didn't at even younger ages.
This, of course, leads to some resentment between the siblings and is the reason why some youngest siblings have a reputation for being quite entitled. Never having to deal with the hardships and scarcity that their older siblings had to, or having to fight for every opportunity.
These siblings clashed over the younger sister's demands that her older sister make her a meal, prompting their parents to get involved, inexplicably taking the entitled younger sister's side.
