    I had an older brother and sister and didn’t like them very much. My brother was really mean and aggressive and for many years I hated him because of it. My relationship with them both now (we are in our 40s and 50s) is friendly, but it’s not deep in any way.

    I’m the oldest with a younger brother and sister. It was a little bit rough as kids and teenagers but now we’re basically 3 best friends.

    As an older sibling now and my sisters grown it’s pretty chill. We say hello and shoot the shit when we’re together. Nothing really in terms of close connection. We just kinda do our own thing.

    It feels like I’m 5 years old and my older sister is sitting on my stomach because this is the last year she will outweigh me and she’s poking me in the chest over and over while yelling “stop hitting yourself!”

    I have nightmares where I’m so mad at her. I wake up mad. We have a 9 year age gap.

    Have an elder brother and he’s the probably the only person in my life I’m very close to and actually love.

    We didn’t get along very well growing up, but now are are in our 40s and they are some of the very few people I 100% trust and respect.

    We are close for sure

    My sister is invaluable to me. I have an inbuilt support system. My wife and my sister are the only things that truly matter to me.

    I would absolutely die for them, I tease them, I make fun of them, I get angry at them, I cry for them. There is absolutely nothing I wouldn’t for them and at the same time it brings me a great deal of pleasure getting them angry. They care what I think of them and it makes it that much more fun to get them angry, but that the end of the day. We speak, laugh and do it all over the next day

    The age gap can vary. I have a younger brother who is 6 years younger, he felt like a younger brother. Then j have another younger brother that is about 14 years younger, he felt more like a son than a brother to me. Since I had to deal with most of his chores. Bringing his to school, Scheduling appointments, paying his clothes, hair cuts, etc.

    It was great when I was little, always someone to play with (I have 4 older brothers, and 2 sisters) Then it seemed everyone went their separate ways except me and my slightly older sister.. Still good relationships, well at least with some of them. 7 getting a long not easy.

    2 of my bros have passed but my sister lives near me, my other sister is here 6 months of the year (Arizona) and one brothers visits me occasionally. So I can’t complain. I absolutely adore my sisters. Not married so they get me through live and I’m very happy.

    I’ve got two younger brothers, one is two years younger, the other five years younger. My middle brother made our lives miserable, growing up he was constantly fighting with our parents (who spoiled us all rotten) and fighting with us. He bashed walls in, assaulted me several times, broke things, dropped out of school on a number of occasions, spread rumors about me, etc. Getting assaulted by him in my 20s when I was trying to figure life out pushed me into a depressed state for over a year and things have never been the same since. Despite all we wrote, things were often good. For all the times he hogged the computer (he got addicted to WoW and our parents would have to force him off when it was my turn or our other brother’s turn) we would also play games, people thought we were twins because we looked so similar, we laughed, talked for hours and until he assaulted me I felt like I knew him. Often I wish he had never been born but at the moment I’m taking things one day at a time.

    My youngest is just… there. He’s quietly dealt with depression and has slowly turned into a neet. He has a job that he goes to five to ten hours a week and spends the rest playing video games. While my middle brother and I have traveled, have had numerous partners, long term girlfriends and dreams I feel like my youngest hasn’t even given it thought. Or at least that’s how it appears, whenever I ask him what he wants to do he just shrugs his shoulders.


    That’s just a teeny snapshot.

    I’m the oldest of 2, my brother is 3 years younger.

    He’s spoiled rotten, whiny and frankly, a manipulative piece of shit who takes advantage of our divorced parents hating each other too much to pay attention.

    Personality-wise we mix about as well as water and oil, literally nothing in common. He’s also incredibly entitled and disrespectful, the amount of times I’ve wanted to punch him in the mouth but stopped myself because I’m legally and adult and he’s not are too many to count.

    That’s not to say I’m prefect. But seriously fuck this evil curly-haired version of me.

    Based on what I remember, this is how my sis [F22] and I [M27] sibling relationship evolved

    1. Grade school —-> I hate you
    2. High school —-> I tolerate you
    3. College —-> we’re cool
    4. Working adults —-> Wanna hang out? Let’s go eat outside.

    I have a sister and I can’t stand her. She’s a huge Karen. I stopped talking to her years ago after I told her that she was a fat, weak, puffy, feeble-minded piece of garbage who only knew how to make herself a burden on others.

    You are used to having roommates.

    If you don’t stay connected with them, you’ll realize that you’ll grow up and grow apart.
