I come from a big family which consists of seven girls and three boys. I am the youngest daughter in the family and the youngest in the family is my brother. I am much closer to my sisters compare to my brothers. The eldest had passed away a decade ago, just about three months after my father's demise. Among the three, he was the good one. He really took care of the younger ones and always my parent's favorite. He never raised his voice and always been there whenever we needed him. Unfortunately, he died too soon and I missed him dearly. He loved me the most too and always asked me to help him to decide on his life decision *smiles* like whether the girl he was dating was good or not, when he wanted to get married, he asked my permission too, and he always there to support me whenever my parents wanted to scold me *laughs* He was a great brother.
My second brother is not too close to me. He always do whatever he thinks he wants to do. He doesn't care about what people say and when he was younger, he always get beaten by my late father as he was the naughtiest. When he got married, he only think of his own family and quite a distant to us. I don't really have a great memory with him....
My youngest brother is the one that closes to me. I wrote about him in one of my discussions. Even though we are close, he still feels jealous of me. I don't know why - maybe a sibling rivalry as most said here. He is very weird. Sometimes, he will be very independent and some other times, he just can't handle his own life. He loves to make my mother worries about him as he knows that she is fond of him.
No matter the difference, I still love them as my siblings. So, tell me about you and your siblings. Share your story here with all of us.

You have quite a colorful family... and your brothers are very interesting... expecially the seond oldest... i only have one brother and two sisters... i think among the four of us... i the weirdest... since i don't really do what my sisters like to do... i tend to be very different from them... but we get along fine...
My brother who is the youngest... is the spoiled one... since he is the only boy... so we gave him all the love we can give... and now that he is an adult... he still quite dependent on our parents... i think he is a late bloomer... he already has a girlfriend... but they don't have any plans of marrying just yet... but we are all encouraging him to settle down...

Hello aseretdd,
So much things can happen when you come from a big family like mine. The ten of us really have different character and attitude. Sometimes, it is hard to understand each other but most of the time, I just feel glad to have them as my siblings. I still remember my younger time. It was so much fun whenever I was surrounded by my sisters and brothers. We watched movies together where my second brother always be the one who went and booked the ticket for us. I remember I always wait for him anxiously whenever he went to buy movie ticket and when I saw him get down from a bus (in front of our house) and purposely holding tickets in his hand while waving and smiling at us, the rest of us will jump with joy! My late dad needed to send us in his car twice..first for the boys and second trip for the girls!

That's great that you have fun with siblings. I am the only child of my parents. So there is nothing to share for me.
But i have cousins & with them i have much fun. Whenever we are together we have so much fun. The best part is there is no age difference among us when we are together. The only thing we have in mind is to have fun as long as we are together.
But now it is a little bit different. Most of them got married & also busy in their professional life. So now we don't have the chance to get together. I am the only one left who has not entered in a professional life. After finishing my study i also have to be a professional. I don't know what's going to happen then.
Hope everything goes well.

Hello darksorrow,
When the time comes, things will change *sighs* I still remember the joy and happiness I had whenever I was surrounded by my siblings when we just a kid. But thing changed when one after another started to work and get married later. Now, I am not the most spoiled brat in the family. I have my own family and they have their owns. We seldom have time for each other nowadays *sighs*
