I am very thankful for my brothers and sisters. I have 5 sisters and 4 brothers. We are all 10 and I am the 9th child. They were my first friends and the first people who love me, nurtured me, played with me, who taught me a lot of things, supported me and the ones who carried me on their arms when our parents were not around.
Being the youngest girl in the family, I was treated like a precious jewel and I feel blessed for having my brothers and sisters in my life. They were the one who protected me from anything. Though we do have a lot of differences and we argue a lot when we grow old, our ties will never be broken because we belong to one family. I will be forever thankful having them in my life for they are a part of my existence and what I have become right now.

I wish the same thing but of course we are not perfect and we also experiences a little misunderstanding. I agree with what you said.

@cherigucchi for sure but being the baby girl is a good thing right?

@rakski Yes it is but then sometimes it is not also good whenever they become too protective since it makes you feel weak.

It is great to have such caring siblings. My sisters were also my best friends growing up

I have no brothers or sisters. I have two step-brothers and one step-sister, but I don't stay in touch with them.

I am not surprised if you are not close to them. Isn't difficult that you don't have siblings?

@cherigucchi no. I consider my best friend as a sister.

Sometimes I feel like a Princess whenever some of my Brothers take care of me. Like they will do whatever I want and what I need. But sometimes they have this mood swing and you can't even talk to them instead will have a heated argument.

That is normal and I believe it happens to every family and among or between siblings.

You are blessed having 9 siblings. The more the merrier, they say, and I'm sure you have one big, happy family. Stay blessed!

@cherigucchi Every family goes through misunderstandings and arguments. They're the spices that keep the bond stronger.
