Brothers, sisters, siblings in general.

Thankfully I don't live with any of my siblings anymore so we rarely fight. When I lived with my older brother it was a pain when I had to share my PS1 with him. You have no idea how happy I was once he moved out and I got my own PS2. Overall we always got along. We were not super close but we were close while still distant if that makes sense.
 
I was raised an only child, but I have three half-siblings on my dad's side, so I kind of feel like I got the best of both worlds. I like having my own personal space (and, I'll admit, not having to share things :wacky:), so it was good to grow up without any siblings in the same house, but I also like the feeling of having siblings that I can talk to sometimes if I want to, so having them is really nice too. They all live at opposite ends of the country from me, and I've actually never met one of them (not even sure if she wants to meet me) but the ones I do talk to are really nice people who always have interesting stories to tell. I email them and we talk on the phone occasionally, which is really nice, but if I'd had to grow up with them in the same house everyday I don't know if it would've been as comfortable. When I was growing up one of my uncles (who's only 3 years older than me) lived with us for a few months, and that was weird/uncomfortable enough--he stayed up all night on the computer (which made a huge light shine into my room) and complained to his friends on the phone about it whenever I needed to use the computer and interrupt him :/
 
I have 2 full brothers and 1 half brother who I didn't really grow up with, but to answer the question - yes, I absolutely love having siblings. I don't know what it would be like as an only child and I'm glad my parents decided to have more than one kid. I think it would be rather lonely at times. My brothers and I are pretty close, too. We all live within 7-minutes of each other and we usually try to have lunch or dinner once every one or two weeks, if not something else. It's just really nice to know you have people you can count on who are your family, who grew up with you and who you can be close to.
 
I have 3 siblings. 2 Older brothers and 1 little baby sister who is 14. lol. Im close with my brother who is 23, and I am cool with my older brother most of the time, they are assholes sometimes though. And I enjoy my little sister around so I can make fun of her.
 
Most of the time, I adore having a younger sister. I do feel protective over her, and I've been babysitting for a long time now. I'd say that we're very close.

While I definitely do get extremely angry at her at times, especially when she acts like a snotty little brat, at the end of the day; I still love her.

My mom, sister, and I are so close that I don't really have that jealous feeling. We each have our own rooms and are treated to the same things.

It's nice to have a little sister, because you feel like you're teaching her things, and raising her in a way. I love having little chats (and even though they aren't very deep, she's only eight after all) and staying up late with her. :wacky:
 
I think I have a younger sister. I'm not sure any more really.

She's bugged the crap out of me ever since we moved into our new house 12 years ago. She thinks she deserves everything to be handed to her on a platter. I recently bought my first widescreen tv, and she won't accept the old one because it has my fingerprints on it. That's literally what she said.

We don't have those dumb arguments where we yell at each other over going into another's room, and call each other morons. We rip into each other hard over big things. For example, she was the second family member to find out that I'm bisexual and other things related to that, and her only response was that I am weird and should be removed from society. Yeah. I of course, called her a prostitute since she has a new boyfriend every 2 months. And it gets meaner than that.

We don't agree on anything either. Politics, languages (I'm of the Asian and Slavic languages, she's into the "Romance" languages), how to date people, etc.

Oddly enough, I get along some what okay with her current boyfriend.

I have three older brothers and an older sister. They are all much older than me the closest to my age being 7 years older. I do get along with them, but that may be because we are older now. I love to see them and their children. I could not imagine my life without them in it.

I do sometimes wish that there was another sibling closer to my age.
 
My last post on this topic spoke about how I didn't really get how brothers and sisters could get along so well that they would class one another as friends.

Well just in these last few months my brother has come to work with me and we've been getting along pretty well. We're like workmates and friends now, and it's sort of brought us a bit closer as we try to help each other out with any work related problems and such and work as a team, seeing as we work in the same section.

I think my sister is going to be working there soon as well. She sent in a resume and I don't know if she'll be working at this store or the other one the owner has just across the road, but it'd be good to see if we did work together. It might help out our relationship a bit more seeing as she's the one I don't really get along with that much at all. >.<
 
I have an older half brother on my mothers side hes liek 10 years older then me and currently surving an 18 month spell in prison for reasons i dont know -_-

safe to say i never got along with him >.>

i kind of get pissy at people who say
Random person lol said:
Sigh i wish i was a Only child

people dont know how good they have it with a sister or a brother,
you know what i would give up to have an older sister a couple of years older then me with similar taste in music and clothing that i could talk to (Especially when i was like 14/15) its actualy really lonely some times being an only child

^^ Yeah but by the sounds of it you don't understand what it is like to have a brother or sister and the ones saying that they wish they were an only child, obviously don't get along with their siblings.

I have a brother two years younger then me and a sister four years younger than me and we don't really have the same tastes in anything and we don't get along THAT great.

At the end of the day you're better off finding a best friend who you can get along with.

I class my best friend more of a sister than my own and it's just because we relate more. Just because you're related by blood, does not mean that you're going to be there for one another or do things together etc. It really depends on who the person is. =/

I could say the same thing. Just because I have a sister, doesn't mean that she's going to be a sister that I can talk to, get along with, have similar interests etc. I wish I had something like that too.

I don't mean to come across as rude or anything, but you have to take into consideration that the ones who wish they were an only child know what it's like to have brothers and sisters that they don't get along with and therefore their wish is to be alone.

It gets so hectic with so many kids in the house and all we really want is some quiet and for our parents to pay attention to us a lot more. It's hard with so many siblings to get that sort of thing.

At the end of the day we always want what we don't have.

Well I guess I can say I have the best situation. More often than not my brother does stuff that pisses me off, plain and simple. We get along well but there are just times where I just want to tell him to "Shut up" but of course with me being the way I am I hold my tongue. However I don't live with him so I may see him maybe twice a week at the most. So it seems like I am an only child however I do have connections and a decent relationship with my brother.
 
I'm an only child, which has its benefits since you can't always guarentee that your siblings will be very nice people. :wacky: However, I have always liked the idea of having a big brother; one who's about 28, who I get along with, who cares about the things I have to say and can offer words of wisdom, enjoys gaming with me, and who would protect me if ever I needed to be protected...

Since I can't really go back in time and change my family, I'm just hoping that one day I'll become close to a guy who's a little older, who eventually becomes like a big-brother figure. :) I would love to have that sort of relationship. One that has a deep kind of love, but a love that's not romantic.
 
I have a sister who is 4 years older than me.

We get along for the most part, teasing and such aside. We are, however, totally different people and wouldn't really agree on many points.

She's much more for having a large circle of friends, going out partying and such (though less so now, due to age and due also to her being a teacher). I don't have many friends, but those I do have I prefer not to meet in clubs or pubs (or should I say, some do - but I don't go with them) but in places where I can hear them. We'd play games (PS3 or card games / Munchkin). If we were to go out together we would visit museums or comic book stores / Forbidden Planet type stores (mostly to browse rather than buy despite such trips being very rare anyway). To us that is an interesting time. To my sister, an interesting time might be shoe shopping. That may be due to her being female in general (though it would be wrong for me to say that as I'll assume out of respect that not every girl wishes to have a pair of shoes for every hour of the day).

My sister is much more interested in what people tend to do these days. By this I mean what is current, hip, modern, street wise, fashion, common (in a fashionable sense - not in a Jeremy Kyle / Eastenders / chavy sense) etc. I don't know how to label it, but everyone knows what I mean. She'd always give me tips telling me that people do things in a certain way these days (be it about clothes, hair, activities, etc). I, however, would rather not. I'm strange etc, but I'm rather stubborn that I shall not let myself be what people tend to try and tell you that most other people are. Not that I don't like what people are, but people are generally more complicated than that, and also there are plenty of other people walking around doing things in those ways, and I'd rather people be how they would be by being them, and not for being told that it is merely what is done. The world doesn't work like that, but I think the world deserves some punishment. Therefore I will not yield as a punishment to the Earth. :argor: Mother Nature's laws would dictate that I be clubbed to death for not liking / caring for X-Factor etc, or that my social position / lack of social life currently denies the possibility of getting married / having children / passing on my genes, and so that I'm alive must be of some concern to the Earth, and this is my way of rebelling. It would be more beneficial to me to yield in some things, but I'm stubborn like that (i.e I've tried and failed / it's been fake) and it would feel like self-betrayal after all these years. Madness, yes, but often creative people are mad. I hope to be creative one day. Probably on the day that the Earth opens up and swallows me whole I'll write a beautiful sonnet, and it will be lost with me forever. At least I'll then have something to read on the way down.

So yeah, me and my sister differ there (whatever 'there' is - I lost myself, and likely you, fair reader). We are at opposite ends of the extremes, and both probably not healthy mindsets to have there.

She's also much more extrovert than myself, though she was also shy when younger like myself (albeit in different ways)... But I think that she is more extrovert than me because she is female, and all that sisterhood stuff (as in group of friends, rather than a nunnery) / years on the phone, on top of the fact that males usually are the instigators of relationships has made her much more socially developed than myself. However, as stated earlier, I also sort of prefer to not have loads and loads of friends that I don't really know / can't say much to / don't have interesting things to talk about. With a small group of friends who are more likely to talk about what I consider interesting, I'm much happier. It's not very good for meeting new people in a social context and also in a non-social context though, I admit. Chatterboxes are more employable at least. I used to think that chatterboxes were just messing around at school and that it was a shame, but it is sort of a vital skill - sometimes more important than what ends up on paper (especially these days).

Conclusion / Tl;dr - I have a sister. She likes shoes and has a larger social group. I don't find shoes fun, nor do I find clubbing fun. I don't like X-Factor etc. I don't talk as much, though I am improving (in some contexts). We're very different people, but we do get along. I do not wish I had another sister. I believe that the gods gave me my sister so that I could understand how people can all be different (and even get along).

I love my sister so much. She is like my best friend, I can be myself with her and she can be herself with me and it doesn't matter how demented we act towards eachother. We fight all the time, like screaming matches but the fights always end in us laughing our asses off and we get over it really quickly. I'm so fortunate to have my sister turn out the way she did.

I look at the younger sisters of my friends, they're skanky bimbos or arrogant bitches, mine is a bit of a bogan but it's cool.

I have always wanted an older brother, soooo much but :sad3: I was never given one, oh well.
 
I am not particularly close with any of my siblings, we get on well but that is about it. We do not really talk about much things outside of college work, work, family things, and some TV shows.

I have a younger sister that I get on best with, we chat about relationships and such. She is very different from me though, she is one of the popular girls in school. I was not like this at her age, I do not think she is one of those plastic creatures though.
 
I have two older sisters, both working. Initially (when I'm like really young) I hated them both because they would always say "Go away" or "Mind your own business", but I found out that back then they were preparing for their exams and completing their assignments so it was completely understandable.

Then I realized that when I grow older, I'll be able to communicate with them more when they have graduated from university. Which today, I'm now able to talk to my sisters a lot more than in the past (especially my younger sister who is a Zelda fan :D) and that I don't hate them anymore. Pretty much, we're like best friends.
 
Oh gosh...

I have two younger brothers (Broskis) and we never really all got along. I don't think we ever will to be honest. That really doesn't bother me. They know that I love them with all my heart. If anybody ever tried anything to harm them in even the slightest way, you had better believe I'm gonna be knocking people out. They're my brothers. I'm the only one that can bother them.

They're way too bratty. My Mom wanted them that way, and she refuses to change them. Ehh, oh well. I'm not planning on seeing them very often after I move out anyway.
 
i have an older sister who i get on very well with. she's also one of my pals but i fucking hate her rotten guts sometimes.

as she is my pal and only 1 year older than me we get on very well and in some senses have a very similar sense of humour but not so much in other sense. there arent very many things i cant talk to her about. as she is an art student she can be very pompous and irrational at times so i have to beat her in the face with a rolling pin but she doesnt mind.
