How many siblings do you have?

[Animum2]

I am the eldest of 4, 3 girls and 1 boy
43, 40, 26 and 21

None but I always wanted a sister and envied friends who had them, even though they mostly just squabbled. My Dad had "outside interests" throughout my parent's marriage which was awful for my Mum but I can't help thinking/hoping I might have a half sibling or two out there somewhere.

I'm the youngest of 3 by a long way - dsis is 16 years older, dbro is 18 years older.

I was a surprise, let's say.

2 sisters and a brother. I’m the eldest

Two older sisters, two younger brothers, I'm the middle child! I get on with them all very well, we really enjoy eachother's company. I clash sometimes with my sister who's closest in age (11 months difference), but we always manage to sort things out despite being very different people.

We all live geographically scattered but get together as often as we can.

@Animum2 how old was your mum when she had the oldest n youngest then?

I'm the eldest of 3 , I have a brother and a sister. I'm 16 months older than my brother and 12 years older than my sister.

I too am the eldest of 3 - me, sister, then brother. Theres about 5 yrs between each of us, & we're not that close to each other. Our mother seems to be our touchpoint for contact on what we all are doing :(

My mum was 42 with the youngest, she was 19 when she had me

One brother

2 brothers , one older, one younger and a younger sister

I'm 40 and the middle child, my half sister is 49 and my brother is 28

Three. Two brothers, one sister. I'm the third child.

I have 3 sisters and one brother .
I get on best with my brother .
My sisters are very difficult.
Why are you asking OP ?

One, a brother.
I always wanted another. I really wanted an elder sister but even as a kid understood there wasn't much my parents could do about that so bugged then endlessly for a younger one instead.

One sister, she’s 11 years older than me.

@heatherblue you thought of doing a family dna ancestry thing to see if that throws up any siblings?

I am effectively an only child, grew up with just my mum (single mum after my dad died).

She got remarried in my mid 20s so I gained three step siblings, all born in the same decade as me (I was born 83).

I have a good relationship with my step sister quite well, wouldn't say we are close but we have a good friendship. I get on fine with my step brothers but I don't see them that much. Considering we didn't grow up together I consider them more as friends.

None but would have loved a sister and a brother

4 brothers and 2 sisters, 51, 49, 48, 46, 42(me), 40 and 38. We had very busy parents...both dead now. We try to all meet up when we can but it’s hard as we live all over the world. Generally it’s only for weddings or funerals.

I have three 'half' siblings, but grew up with just one of them. Between us, we have two biological mothers, three biological fathers, one adopted mother, two adopted fathers. Our family tree is fun

2 brothers and a sister, 39, 38, 34, 31.

I'm not particularly close to any of them, nor are they to each other. We do all meet up when I visit my parents (they all live in the same town) a few times a year though.

10 half siblings, 5 from each parent.

I didn’t meet some of them till I was in my twenties as they live in other countries. Apart from one they are all much older than me, think 10 to 18 years.

I have three favourites for sure, it’s bloody crowd control really.

1. Older sister and younger brother.
