Do you get on well with your siblings

[User6888]

Or not I don’t really have a relationship with them

Yes, I have 5 older siblings.
I see my sisters all the time. We are always at each other's houses or meeting for lunch. We have also gone on holiday together.
I probably see more of my SIL's than my 2 brothers.
We all get on until alcohol is involved😂😂😂
DH also gets on with my siblings
When my dd died ALL of my siblings were at my side constantly and got me through the worst time of my life.

No but not many people do get on with him long term unless he is paying them in some way.

One DB, we speak (by text) nearly every day. My three adult DC are all really close to each other too.

There are 6 of us - 4 brothers, two sisters. One brother I will never speak to, one I have sporadic contact with, one I thought was a decent bloke but really showed his true colours over summer, so I won't have much to do with him going forward.

My sister and the youngest of my brothers are fab and we get on very well, so I count myself lucky.

Yes, I count myself lucky. My siblings are nice, pretty normal people, lol - we bicker occasionally like brothers and sisters can do, and don’t see each other in the flesh much, but speak regularly.

One sister I am really close to, but it's also a trauma bonding because of our emotional terrorist of a mother.

My other sister is like our Mum. Total narc who only rings when she wants something. She's also a deeply unpleasant individual.

I used to have a brother, I think. I have vague recollections ... (joking) that's how long it's been since we've seen each other. Due to said narc mother, he removed himself when he left home at 20. Can't blame him really.

Our Mum did a great job at triangulating us. She's like an emotional hand grenade that goes off whenever we get too close to each other. Gods forbid we should take the attention off of her.

Myself and my sister that is close don't tell her that we talk and pretend we know nothing about each other. It's the only way to protect our sanity.

Not as children, but we get on very well as adults. I’ve been SO glad he’s been there all through dealing with the serious illness, death, and eccentricities of ageing parents.

Yes, we get on like mates, we're not 'adoring' or siblings who spill our souls out to one another, but I'd say we like one another and lot and would always be there for one another in a time of need though, thank God, there hasn't really yet been such a time for any of us.

Yes, i know i can count on him for anything if i ever needed it and him me. I feel lucky in the relationship we have.

We see eachother about every few weeks.

Yes- speak every day, honestly everyone I know is close to their sibling. My husband probably less so but there’s a 15yr age gap, different dads, different sex and live in different countries

Yes. She's fantastic!

No, 1 sister, very limited contact for the sake of my mental health.

I have one DB. We speak maybe once a year other than health emergencies to do with DM. Not seen him in a few years.
No bad blood or fallings out, but we are very very different and I don't think we would choose each other as friends if we weren't related! I'd love to have a sibling I was close to, it must be so nice.

I've gained a lovely Sister in law (DH's brothers wife) who's slotted in as a sibling. In fact we tell people we are sisters we're that close

NC with one, never speaking to the twat again. Don't see the other one but will chat on SM sometimes

Just because people are blood, doesn't mean they're worth keeping in your life sometimes.

Adore both siblings.
Adore parents
Adored in laws before they died.
Adore sil.

Kids all very close
We are all just a fucking love fest 🤣

I'm not knocking it. Tis lovely.

1 sibling who i get along OK with but we are not close. They are very much the favourite with my parents.

I have 13 siblings, i get on quite well with them all, though we have our ups and downs.

One brother. We’ve never had a fallen out (although he wasn’t overjoyed with me when I reported him to the police for drink driving) but are totally different people and hardly ever talk. Our mum died last year and dad died almost 20 years ago, now they’re both gone it’s hard to imagine a reason we’ll ever speak again.

@MartyHart

Nope, my sister is very strange.

Same

Sort off.

I dont spend much time with my ds , we are very different and i dont like her personality very much.

We haven't fallen out in a long time, because i either agree with her or ignore for an easy life.

We will meet up once a month or two month for a short walk. Which is moreeeee then enough.

I have a lovely dn and i will go pick him up and take him out for the day.

We are just different people.

I feel she has hurt me a lot in the past, leaving me out of things ect.

We are just better staying light touch !

Nope , I hate them and haven't spoken to them all for many many years.

NC with my sister, no regrets. Both brothers are ok, we have a family WhatsApp group and meet up occasionally.

Yes. My sister is fantastic and I love her to bits. I really wish we lived closer.
