Yesterday I visited my brother, he lives in a city which is 1 hr away from my family's home. I have a job to do here today and I stayed to his house for the night. Every time I visit him, I remember how much I have missed my brother, we used to live together for 7 years when we were students. He is 2 years older than me and he always gives me good advice and he helps me a lot with my job as well. I would like to stay longer but unfortunately I have to go back home this afternoon. Do you have any siblings and do you have good relationsips with them?

I have four siblings and I'm the youngest, we're all grown up but we do act like children most of the time. lol! Everyone loves teasing and making fun of each other to the point that my Mom would lose her temper at times because of the craziness going on around our house. It's really fun when we're all together, and one time when my father was still alive and everyone was at home and doesn't have anything in their schedule that someday, my oldest siblings laughingly said that the Simpson's family is all together and it's time to mess around. Yeah, we're really like kids, it's actually pretty annoying sometimes because most of the time I'm the subject of the ridiculousness for I'm the youngest. It's actually hard to believe that no one's under 18 in the family anymore but my Mom still feel like she have naughty toddlers at home. ^^
I even think that I actually had a brother complex when I'm younger. I was afraid that when my brother (he's second to the youngest) grew up and finally had a girlfriend, I was really afraid that he wouldn't talk to me anymore and hang out or just mess around like we used to.
We're all very close and it's really fun to make such good memories with them but we do had a fair share of banters and fights.

Your family sounds like fun, I would like to have a bigger family and more siblings! It looks like you love each other very much and that you are happy people! I used to be like this with my brother when we were younger and I thought it would always be like this, but since he rented his own apartment I don't see him so often and I miss him a lot!
I hope you will always be a united family as you are now! Have a great day :))

Yeah, and we really can go crazy. ^^ We can really become noisy people when we're all together. :D I've thought of that too, but we can't help, our sibling/s will grow and there will come the times when we need go our separate ways. Some of my siblings are actually moving farther away, they have their own businesses and paths they want to travel so I understand, but I still can't help but feel lonely (I'm the youngest after all, so I notice this more). I hope you and your brother would never fall apart, it's great to have a sibling that we're really close with. Thanks!

I do not have any siblings but I have 5 children and my youngest daughter and son (my daughter is 7 years older than my son) really are the best of friends;especially now that my daughter has married and moved away, when they get together they have such a great time.I think she misses her brother more than he misses her!

I have noticed that some of my friends that are the only childs in their family want to have many children when they start their own family. Did you feel that you wanted company when you were growing up?
It must also be hard for only childs and for the older ones in a family to establish some habits in the family for the first time! As the second child, I found some things ready from my brother. For example, when he was in high school he wasn't allowed to stay out until late but after many efforts with my parents, they allowed him to stay more. And when my time came, I could do it as well without much disagreement as long as my brother knew where I was. I always beleieved that it is the same for only childs too, you have to show more responsibility as you grow up to gain the trust of your parents.

I'm from a broken family. I have 2 legal siblings and 3 half-siblings, but the other one i never meet her since. I am more close to my half-siblings than my legal siblings.
