Siblings-Growing together or growing apart!!

Hello, Melody. I think siblings-growing together is better than growing apart. As the saying goes: relatives faraway are not better than neighbors nearby. Location plays an important role in relationships between one and another, and it is right for sibling-relationship. So siblings growing up together will be more closer to others than the ones growing apart!

Hello Melody, We are only three siblings in the family (a brother and a sister) and I am the eldest among three. I am 2 years older than my brother and ten years older than my sister. We all grow up together but we are not close with each other. I always had a fight with my brother. We two can't get along well with each other. In my sisters case I think it is understandable because of our aged gap. But as we gain an age and we become more mature we become more closer with each other. We managed to chit chat a little, play together and throw jokes with each other for fun sake. Our relationship now is more than good than when we were still a child. But no matter how we become more comfortable with each other and becomes closer I can still feel the respect they pays to me as their elder sister and it made me glad. Im happy to see that they are growing as a more responsible individuals.

I would that siblings have problems, and differences, but they have to learn to get along and stick together.

I think it is that we don't need each other as much as we did before. I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters. We have all scattered throughout the United States and even though I now have one sister who lives near me we are not as close as we were when we were growing up. I feel much closer to my friends than I do to my siblings because I see them more.

it is always best for brothers and sisters to be growing up together. it is evident in your family. now, your mind and heart is with them though you are already living apart. the love that you have for each other actually grows even a lot deeper although you are no longer living in one home. just consider how you entertain in your heart and mind those days of togetherness and the desire that you get together plenty more times. that love will still be there and will still be growing strong even if the physical presence of the others may not be just around day in and day out. no, melody, you are not drifting apart, it is just simply part of growing up and the demands of the times, too, that we can no longer be with our love ones for as long as we want. you may still be needing each other so much and this will surface during the times of happiness and sadness. for always, you will call upon them to get together on those occasions of joy and sadness.

Yes this has also been felt by me.I think it is part of a life.When we are small we really are very close to siblings but as we grow old the need really reduces.May be there is something to do with the distance.But that bond always is there.

The best is to have them grow together so that they can effectively bond together and live for each other. Growing apart would make the stand the risk of enstrangement!

I'm sure you need each other as much as you did before and they love you the same way.Maybe you need to meet them.Don't hesitate.Just take your much deserved break for a while for that 'great sibling re-union'.I know,they want it as much as you do.Wish you tons of smiles and good cheer.

I only have one brother & he is three years younger than me. We were never really that close. I think that was because I sensed that my mother preferred him to me. But anyway, we have gone through periods of not getting along very well, mainly when he was with his first wife, to getting along okay, which we do now. I also didn't like the way my brother was a racist & this made it difficult for me to communicate with him.

Well my brother and I grew closer as we grew up. We are very close now—but don’t see each other often. He is a soldier in the Army- right now stationed in Iraq—so I see him Never! But we e-mail often. He is scheduled to come home in May 08- I can’t wait- I think as we get older- our lives get busier—but our relationships stay the same- It’s a special bond!

Its normal melody. This things happen in our everyday life. During our younger age.. we are so close to them and stays together.. when you are needed to go far maybe cos of work or other matters you will start to feel the pinch. You will find something missing and you might be thinking that your relationship might get broken. No way.. it all in your hand.. no matter how far they are apart from each other..they are still your siblings.. and you can feel the joy once you get together again in any occasions.
