5 sisters and 3 brothers, ranging from 14 - 33.
They're not all full siblings - interesting family tree!

Parttimewasteoftime · 06/07/2019 22:53

1 brother

sloaneBear · 06/07/2019 22:56

4 half siblings. Never met two.

One half brother I have met but he doesn’t know we are related. The other I am close to but we didn’t know of each other until I was 16 and he was 35.

None and I'm generally quite happy about that as I hear so many of my friends have fallen out with their siblings, big time. Unfortunately, it often seems to involve money.

ShoutyQueen · 06/07/2019 23:01

1 sister. We are twins.

Animum2 · 06/07/2019 23:09

I should mention the younger two have a different father

AhhhHereItGoes · 06/07/2019 23:19

AhhhHereItGoes · 06/07/2019 23:20

They were both from previous relationship of each of my parents.

StumpyinSomerset · 06/07/2019 23:21

I'm the eldest of 6.
Two brothers and 3 sisters

SrSteveOskowski · 06/07/2019 23:23

One brother. We don't talk because he's an arrogant, abusive, selfish asshole. Exactly like his father.

  1. 5 brothers, two sisters. 7 full siblings and the youngest brother was adopted by my parents as a toddler but he died as a teen. We all get on and support one another. If I called they would all be there for me immediately.

1 brother who is 3 years younger than me. He lives in a care home after a very serious accident at work.

2, a brother and sister. I'm the youngest.

namechanged2000 · 06/07/2019 23:30

@MondeoFan I'm sorry to hear about your brothers accident.

Violetroselily · 06/07/2019 23:30

I am the youngest of three - brother, sister me.

Five years between my brother and I, with my sister slap bang in the middle

ValleyoftheHorses · 06/07/2019 23:31

None.
Why?

SockQueen · 06/07/2019 23:31

One sister. I'm 35, she's 31.

BobTheFishermansWife · 06/07/2019 23:31

1 brother who is 2 years younger than me.

DramaAlpaca · 06/07/2019 23:33

One, younger than me. We don't have anything in common, unfortunately, and rarely see or speak to each other. DH, on the other hand, has four & he's close to all of them.

riotlady · 06/07/2019 23:33

3 half sisters, but I only grew up with one of them, the other 2 lived with my dad and I didn’t see them much.
We’re 26, 18, 12 and 9

NetballHoop · 06/07/2019 23:38

I'm one of four. Two girls, two boys.
I'm number three and there are eight years between us.

My relationship to my siblings is ambiguous, I have one twin sister but grew up with my older brother. Through music, both my parents and I have had several off spring. Some people say that I am a sibling to the Rolling Stones, That they were all brothers and foster children. I have had two brothers who were raised in separate environments while working for my Father. On Twitter their are at least fifty youth who share my last name Wainer while growing up there were only four to six. Reared apart siblings count for as much, as these days I have been closest to my twin sister. Who is to say what having children who grew up in foster care implies when they are your own biological offspring

I have 2 brothers and a sister.
