I'm the eldest child and I was like a little mother - I was 2 when my brother was born, and I would help my mother bathe him and stuff (or rather make my mum let me help). When I went to school, I'd come home and teach him everything I learned at school that day. I also basically forced him into learning how to read. Lol.
So while I was the oldest and kind of bossy, I wasn't really the stereotypical elder child. I'm rather shy actually.
I also have to tell you that with siblings, if you have a younger brother, the silly name calling never really stops. I'm 28 and he's 26, and we still call each other shit face and idiot features.
