Current Events > Do you get along with your siblings?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Assuming you have any.

I get along with my brothers but me and my sister are icy at best

My little brother yes. Older brother, no.

Used to have a sister. We were never close growing up. She died huffing airduster a few years ago. I saw her on the stuff shortly before she died, it was tragic to see.

We did for the longest time. Now that were older it got weird. Kids changed things. We still hang out but its different.

I was bullied, tormented and embarrassed in public by both of my siblings throughout my entire life. It only stopped when one of my siblings passed away, and I made the decision to just completely cut contact with the other one.

My brother is mentally handicaped so we don't really have a complex social relationship. Makes me sad.

Yup. I barely talk to them tho tbh.

I've been dropping my sister off to school lately and we only say a few sentences during the drive. She's kinda bossy but probably normal for her age.

One of my bros uses gamefaqs but not this board. We'll talk about news posted on this site every now and then in person. Like every few weeks.

I don't remember the last time i had a conversation with my youngest brother.

My brother and I don't fight but we live in different countries and only drop a single text for major holidays.

So, whatever you wanna call that.

My little brother and myself were pretty close growing up and we still chat through Steam/Discord. He is coming up to visit me this Summer, first time I'll be seeing him in 6 years.

I don't talk to my older brother or sister at all and I haven't seen them since I was 8 I think.

Yeah, we get together a few times a year.

Looking back it was completely fucked up, and my parents (really just my mom) didn't do anything except halfheartedly go "staahhp". What made it worse is that I was constantly reminded that I was an accidental child and as I got older I realized it wasn't just them trying to make me feel bad, but them (among a few other relatives) telling the truth.

It's made me completely apathetic and indifferent to the idea of family. The concept is just really alien to me, to the point where part of me thinks happy, close families are cringeworthy.

I have a little sister. We've always been really close. Time does make it different though.

No.
Not in contact with them after our parents died.

Yep

I dunno? I've only met them a couple times, that's not the same as living with them. The youngest brother I like and wouldn't mind visiting with now and again. Plus he gets along with my daughter. Middle brother seems very shy, so I left him alone after saying hello.

me and my bro is besties

i have two twin sisters - one i dont really know very well. im 11 years older

the other is special needs and lives with us at home and i love her to bits

One brother, yes. I havent spoken to the other one in well over a decade.

I only have a brother. He's a couple of years older than I am, so he was bigger than me until my later teenage years.

Anyway, he's mean and conceited. He very much takes after my dad, and puts others down to feel better about himself. For a very long time that was me that he was doing it to. Dad saw that and encouraged him, and mom didn't correct him out of fear that Dad would get angry. So he basically got away with whatever he wanted. Stuff like smashing dishes for fun, taking a hammer and destroying my stuff, etc. He liked to beat me up too, and always told me that he'd stop when I can make him.

He remained violent and mean to me for most of our teen years. Until I ended up being taller than him and he got jealous. Things changed once dad tried to kill me though. For done reason my brother took offense at that, not that he tried to kill me or anything, but because it apparently showed that dad thought he had more authority than my brother did... So then the focus shifted from him hating me to hating dad.

After that we did grow close and get along well. But he always said that he'd rather just never see any of us again. So then when he got married to a controlling woman who didn't want us in his life, we were cut out of it.

If we're lucky he shows up for Christmas to pick up his gifts and ask us to give him money. He tells us about his life and leaves. We don't matter to him any more outside of being a back up source of income if he needs.

I have three brothers. The middle brother is like my best friend. The youngest brother we get along cordially even though we are very different.

My twin brother I love to death, but he might be the worst manager of money Ive ever known in my life and it stresses everyone else out in the family.

All but one.

Why are you icy with your sister?

No. My one sister is a psychotic bipolar bitch who has pushed everyone away, my other sister is a weird dildo peddler. My brother is a bald fat habitually unemployed racist who should be punched in the face everywhere he goes

Yeah us siblings get along well together.
Its our mom that seems to be the issue in our family. Shes in the whole idgaf and toxic mood all the time. Like her personality changed from what i recall back when i went to school. Sister and mom, mom & dad are always fighting or yelling at each other and the rest of the siblings are neutral. Its like our mom became this bitter person, always talking about others negatively. So naturally that isolates her. I feel that her online presence is the cause of her bitterness. She may have developed this parasocial online presence and often compares social media to us. Like soandso had a wedding then relate it to us somehow.siblings are like you actually experienced the weddings we had and you have the audacity to compare being mother of whom the weddings for to videos and pictures your friends of friends of friends shared online?

Like we need a family therapy together. Siblings get defensive about their lives. One of them is gonna say things they cant take back one day. But i guess that needs to happen when being like this aint working.

Mostly, but we have rough patches sometimes.
