why is your eldest sister feels like shes the alpha in the family? (link)

Probably because the elder feels envious of all the attention the new arrival receives as a baby. A new baby does actually need far more attention than the older child, but that isn't how the other child usually perceives it. It's more usually a feeling like 'now there's a new baby in the house I don't matter anymore.' Now it's a good parenting policy to make the elder child feel involved. Part of the adult 'care and support team' for the new baby. Help with feeding, changing and so on. But it also contributes to feelings of being the 'boss' of the younger one, and these feelings can continue long after the younger family member stops being an infant.
