Brothers and Sisters

Who well do you get along with your brother and sisters?
What place in the birth order are you?
Do you think that has any impact on your relationship with you siblings?

 

Hey skittlechick ! I have one older brother by four years. When we were growing up; we didn't talk much. He was always going his own way and getting into trouble. I didn't choose that path. He outgrew the trouble part but we still don't speak much...not at all for six months or more. We just don't get along too well. Peace and Love

 

I have two older brothers- one 2 years older and the other 6 years older. I never fought with my oldest brother; we, being so far apart in age, never had any common ground to squabble over. My other brother, however, I fought with constantly. We've simmered down though, and things are pleasant. I'm close with them both. I can't say if our respective birth order had anything to do with it.

 

I am the oldest I have a younger sister (by 3 years) and a younger brother (by 4 years). I was a cool big sister I let them do things with my friends and I all the time. My sister and I talk all the time and get alog great. My brother is a different story. We don't talk much and the only time he calls me is when he needs something.

 

we-a're-a all bruzeer & sister

 

I am the baby at 27. I have a sister that is 34. We hated each other when we were younger. It was the big sister and the little sister that wanted to tag along and be in the way kinda thing. In the last 7 years we have grown really close we call each other for advice and if we have a problem or just need to talk especvially when we need to talk about thing that are bothering us or confussing us about our husbands. I also have 2 half brothers one is 46 and the other is 47. When I was little the oldest thought I was great took me evrywhere was the best brother you could ask for. Then I grew up and big brother had 2 kids that I was pravctically raising and I didn't need him to look out for me anymore and obtained a giant stickin his ass. He has kinda seperated from the family completely. My 46 year old half brother we met when I was 13 and my sister was 20. He had lived with his mom and never came around until then. I thought he was ok at first but truely all he and his latest wife and both the wives before her do is use people for whatever they need then never call and come around. I disowned him this year because I am tired of it.:banghead:
So my sister and me grew closer and there is a huge cannon between be and my brothers.

 

I have a brother, a step-brother and step-sister. I haven't seen my blood brother for about two years, I haven't even talked to him. We fought a lot. My step-brother is alright, I have a lot of respect for him because he is doing what he wants with his life and not what other people want him to do. I haven't seen my step-sister in about eight years...I think. We got along famously. I'm living in the same city as her now so maybe I'll look her up.

Out of all these siblings I am the oldest and it my birth order hasn't done anything for me at all. I left home when I was 16 and that was that. My brother is going to be 21 and is still living with my dad.

 

I am the Oldest and Act the Youngest...

Heh...

 

I get along okay with them, at times they drive me up the wall.

I'am the oldest of six boys. All are half brothers. sorta weird....

my mom has 3 kids, by 3 different men.

then my mom and dad have me together.

then my dad and his wife sandy have 4 or their own.

deff.....think it has had an inpact...i grew up quick....a lot quicker than they did/have.

 

I have a sister thats 2 years younger and we dont get along too well...she annoys me how immature she acts...im turning 17 and shes 15..she argues with everyone and anyone and im not the arguing type....i try to get along with her sometimes but i think we're gonna have a bad relationship later on...

 

i'm the youngest out of my sis and i i'm 25 and shes 29. Theres 4 yr and some months between us . As far back as i can remember i always looked up to her but than as i got older i realised hey thats not who she used to . Shes a very me me me me person. And we hardly get a long . She got this and "I" got that so shes better. Well since i got say 75% on a test and she got 90% shes WAY better. In my eyes if i pass i pass. shes very materialistic. I can't stand to be around her much because shes like very Rude sarcastic, where as my sarcasm is funny . (dad has sarcasm) runs in the family. But when it comes to put downs and judgements thats when i have to leave. mind you i truly think ever since i got married shes grown closer to me because shes realised her only little sister is grown up... Shes a very very smart young lady and i admire what shes accomplished but she has to realise she has to put her foot in her mouth sometimes...

 

I'm the oldest at 32. I have a younger brother who is 27 an a younger sister that is 25.
I get along pretty good with both of them now.
My parents were 20 & 17 when they had me. I wasn't planed so I often felt a little like they were wanted not me. Not that my parents ever made me feel that way.
So sometimes growing up I took my anger out on them.
We are adults now and have moved on. LOL

 

I have a step bro, we get along great, but we didn't grow up together. His dad married my mom when M. (Bro) and I were in our early 30s. We had a younger sister, his sister, my step. She died of a heroin overdose about 8 years ago, I miss her so bad. She was a sweet girl with a tortured soul. I'd give about anything to have her back. I also have a foster sister, we get along fine, when we aren't driving each other crazy. She's a hippy chick as well, but buys too heavily into the "I have obligations" game, which I just cannot do. My only OBS are to my kids and my dh. The funny thing is, my Foster sis and I look almost identical. People think we are twins. But, she's Latina, and I'm Italian and Celtic. People always think we are blood related, we just laugh.

I had NO siblings growing up. My mom had what was probably Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome and had no biological children after I was born, and I took 3 years to come along.

 

I only have sisters, 2 older sisters infact. The oldest, who is 12 years older than me, and I don't talk often. Infact, it's been about a year since I've talked to her and it's just usually about her nagging. My other sister, who is only 2 years older than I, have a love hate relationship. We fight a lot and when we aren't fighting I'm usually listening about her dramatic life. In one sense, I suppose I get along better with the older sis because we don't talk but I'm closer the other sis.

 

I'm the eldest of 3: I'm 21 (Leo), Lucky is 17 (Aries), and Peachy is the baby at 14 (Gemini).

Lucky and I fought constantly until I was about 14. We started getting along after realizing that being "partners in crime" is more efficient than getting in each other's way. We don't see eye to eye on a lot of things though, but we're similar enough that when we aren't clashing we get on well. He doesn't look up to me; we identify more as peers.

Peachy, on the other hand, is the typical spoiled baby sister, and she absolutely knows it. Of course, I had (and still have) a contributing role in spoiling her when I can. In a lot of ways, she's more like my daughter than my sister, but we still have fun talking about her friends, grades, crushes, hopes, dreams, and all the other "sparkly things" that are part of being a highschooler. She's still trying to imitate/emulate me in some things, but at the same time she's branching out into being herself, which I'm very proud of.

My birth order shapes how I relate to them both, in that I've been babysitting them since I was nine and stepped in to "mother" them (cooking, cleaning, homework help, attention, laundry, designating chores, disciplinary stuff, etc) when I was 15, when our madre went back to college full-time while working full-time. (I don't know how she did it, but she made it happen. Go Mom!) Our dad was in-house but not willing to assist, so I became not just "big sister" but "surrogate parent". Peachy eventually understood that Mom was Mom and I wasn't after things calmed down again, but she still relates to me in some ways like a parent. Lucky didn't really take any of this too well, but he says he respected me for stepping up to take care of Peachy, even though he wasn't willing/able to accept me as an authority figure.

.....I didn't mean to write anywhere near that much. Mea culpa.

 

I know how you feel my parents where the same age as your when they had me I was born the first week of my moms senior year of high school

 

I have one bio sis who is two years younger. We were extremely close as kids, but fought all the time (having abusive parents who don't believe in attachment will do that to kids). As adults, she is everything I think is wrong with people today. She stands for all the things I hate. She is dishonest and manipulative and I will have nothing to do with her. The last straw was when she lied about having cancer. You just don't lie about something that serious, and expect to get away with it. I called her on that one, and it made her really mad at me. We sometimes talk on the phone, but very rarely and not for very long. As soon as she starts in with one of her major crises (it's always a sob story, and a plea for money), I gotta go.

I have two older step-brothers and one younger step-sister whom I haven't spoken with since their father died. Before that, they only called when they wanted something from him. I don't have anything they want, and wouldn't give them any money if I did have it, so they never call anymore.

 

i have a younger sister,and no i dont get along with her..well sometimes
but that's so rare..

 

i have two sisters tiffany is 24 i am 21 and savannah is 9 and i have a brother who is 6 months old and i havent gotten the chance to meet him yet. me and my older sister get along perfectly fine we like best friends but my younger sister is just a spoiled rotten kid. dont get me wrong i love her to death but since she was my moms last kid and her ex husbands first she is spoiled and get what she wants and is so sheltered from so much and doesnt relize how good she has it. i mean i was 11 when she was born and i pretty much took care of her because my mom was suffering from postpartum depression and her husband at the time was a complete asshole (though he never changed he just got worse) so i was the one waking up several times a night to feed her and take care of her and that didnt change until i moved out when she was 6 years old and my mom had to rely on herself to take care of savannah and to raise her and all. so really savannah is like my daughter and tiffany is my best friend. if that makes sense at all

 

Well I am the oldest, I act the oldest, plus mother my own mother.

My little sister is 9 years younger than I am, and we've always been pretty close, but sometimes I find myself trying to be more of a parent to her than a sister or a friend. But I've been working on it!
