To think women with more than one sister aren't to be trusted...

Have name changed as I know a few of these. Slightly light-hearted and of course a generalisation, but I do wonder. I mean, don't they need to be a bit hard and a little two faced just to get through growing up in a family of girls?

I can think of 2 women in particular, acquaintances, who both have 3 sisters and no brothers. Both are fickle, have an out of sight out of mind attitude to friends and talk about things that their friends have clearly told them in confidence to others.

I have kept a distance, for my own self-preservation. But I just wondered whether anyone else has ever found this.

I'm not offended in the slightest (mainly because the opinions of idiots don't bother me) but I am genuinely baffled as to why you think a girl would need to become hard and two faced to get through growing up in a family of girls Confused.

I mean, why? Would genuinely like to understand your rationale (if you actually believe it yourself).

Are you one of those women who says they prefer to hang out with men as women as so "tricksey"

AndreasVesalius · 17/06/2014 21:46

Three sisters and a brother here. I'm the youngest by a long way though so everyone looked after me, no need for sharp elbows to survive.

I am a bitch though. I blame teaching teenagers for that. It brings out the sarky side.

ExitPursuedByABear · 17/06/2014 21:46

Oh you could be describing me. But I only had a brother.

So that shoots your theory up the arse then.

Are you drunk? Or mad? Or stupid?

gutted2014 · 17/06/2014 21:46

Wow. Just wow. You wouldn't trust me one inch - I have 2 older sisters & went to an all-girls' convent school (most teachers female) from the age of 11. I didn't choose any of it.

I also don't get why I'd need to be 'hard and 2-faced'??? My sisters & I are and were as loving as any other sibling combination - not manipulative, underhand and bitchy, as you seem to suggest Angry

Doinmummy · 17/06/2014 21:46

I am utterly jealous that so many of you come from lovely big families!

ExitPursuedByABear · 17/06/2014 21:47

Have a brother. Sheesh. Wouldn't want to lose him.

imip · 17/06/2014 21:51

Hmmm, for over 20 years I have kept in contact with two close friends, both the youngest of 4 dds. I keep in contact despite living half a world away - definately not out of sight, out of mind. I was their bridesmaids, along with their sisters.

And I have 4 dds. Frankly, this is not how I am rearing them!

GarlicJuneBlooms · 17/06/2014 21:52

have you been taking lessons from a family of girls?

My sisters are hardfacedtwofacedbeyatches, OP, and we is comintagetya! We know where you live. Be afraid.

missingmumxox · 17/06/2014 21:53

Ow! I want to be a bitch! I only have a brother :(

How many sisters do you have OP? and are you male or female?

HaroldLloyd · 17/06/2014 21:54

You can still be a bitch, look at that exit she's a huge bitch.

I am a witch, it's like a bitch only more sinister.

TheHappyMonkey · 17/06/2014 21:55

Shake - there was the adopted brother Albert, and also Charles Jnr who died when he was still a baby.
Clearly spend far too much time watching LHOTP!
Nellie and her awful mother were just hideous, total baddies.

GarlicJuneBlooms · 17/06/2014 21:55

It's okay, Missing, just castrate your brother and you'll find your face becoming harder by the day - so will your new sister's! Win-win!

WhereTheWildlingsAre · 17/06/2014 21:56

Missing, I only have a brother too. Sad

We could becomes sisters and be bitches together!

You can have mine Missing Grin please.

shakethetree · 17/06/2014 22:02

TheHappyMonkey - they were awful weren't they, I always felt sorry for the lovely Dad.
Listen to me & my LHOTP & the Osmonds, I'll drag myself out of the 70's one day.

ExitPursuedByABear · 17/06/2014 22:16
TheHappyMonkey · 17/06/2014 22:22

Oh yeah, Nels Olsen was just such a nice bloke, I don't know why he put up with the awful Harriet.
I would love to be in LHOTP, not so keen on the Osmonds though.
I'm working my way through every LHOTP episode from the v beginning, up to series 6 now, that's a lot of hours I've put in :)

Igggi · 17/06/2014 22:26

Nellie became nice in the end. I feel the need to stick up for her.

shakethetree · 17/06/2014 22:26

There's worse things you could be doing with your time Smile

Night night.

shakethetree · 17/06/2014 22:29

Sorry Igggi, that was for HappyMonkey, although sticking up for Nellie is indeed time well spent.

Igggi · 17/06/2014 22:42

Grin A secret never to be admitted in real life

ThePinkOcelot · 17/06/2014 22:47

You are talking out of your ass!

PrincessBabyCat · 17/06/2014 22:47

Shock I don't even know anyone outside extended family that have more than 1 sibling.

You guys come from big families! Grin
