how do you get on with your step siblings?

[baubleybobbityhat]

Just wondered if people with step siblings very much older or younger than them (say 10 years+) had good relationships? And what about the relationship with the parent in common - any comments on that?

I have a step sister 6 years younger than me, we get on really well. She is at Uni miles away from me, but we like to get pissed once or twice a year together.
Her brother is 9 years younger than me. I love him to bits! He's very naive though, so often makes us laugh at him not with him (not that he seems to notice!
Their Dad is OK when he hasn't been drinkning!

I also have a step brother 1 year older, he is lovely, but we don't see much of eachother as we don't have much in common!
His sister is 6 months younger than me. This time last year, I'd have said she was one of my best mates. Now, I hate her fucking guts!
Their Mum is lovely, but needs to let SS grow the fuck up!

(I know I don't really fit the qs in OP, but hope this helps anyway :) )

I recognise the youngest of my stepbrothers but dont really know him, wouldn't know the other two if I passed them in the street. (stepfather's sons).

I have a half sister (11 years between us) and a stepsister on my dad's side. I would recognise them easily (half sister looks a lot like me). I havent seen them for years, we are friends on facebook but they they never actually speak to me.

Relationship with my dad not great, we dont argue as such but that's because I hardly ever see him and i'm just really "the daughter from his first marriage" and not considered part of their family. He adopted my stepsister and insists that she knows he's not her real dad...I dont think she does, he's a compulsive liar and a user. The only time he bothers to call me or visit me is when he needs an alibi (to meet his mistress, or for me to recieve post he doesn't want his wife to know about).......and breathe!!!
