To not like all my siblings?

11 replies

Greggers2017 · 10/04/2018 23:08

I am the oldest of 7 children, 4 brothers, 2 sisters. 9 and half years between eldest and youngest.
Am I wrong to not particularly like all my siblings? I'm much closer to some than I am to others and I don't agree or like some of the life choices they have made or the way they have treated our parents at times.
Don't get me wrong I love them all and wouldn't wish them any harm, but why do people expect you to like them and get along with them just because you're blood relatives?
Does anybody else feel the same with their brothers and sisters or am I being unfair with how I feel?

I agree with you. Just because you're blood related doesn't mean you necessarily like someone's personality or character traits.

I love my sisters but one of them I really don't click with. I suspect she feels the same about me. It is what it is

I don't particularly like one of my sisters. We're just very different.

I haven't spoken to my sister for about 15 years, we don't get on. We are totally different. Blood doesn't mean anything.

My sister doesn't like me. She can't stand my style and wants to change me. She gets annoyed if I struggling with my mental health.

Im one of 6 kids. I don't have anything to do with my 2 eldest brothers. Absolute cunts the pair of them. I don't know how we are related.
My youngest spoilt brother hasn't spoken to me in 2 years because I was the only one who dared to pull him over the way he leeches off my mum since dad died. Despite being on 30k a year and single. She is always helping him out. When I told him it was about time he stood on his own 2 feet, he turned nasty and hasn't spoken to me since. And mum won't say a word because he's her youngest. And favourite. Oh well

I'm the youngest of 6 - four older brothers and an older sister. I'm extremely close to my sister, and to two of my brothers. I get on fine with DB2, but wouldn't describe our relationship as close. As for DB1, he's a complete arsehole who i have no time for whatsoever. I do my bit to remain civil whenever the rare occasion arises that I'm unfortunate enough to have to spend time in his company, but that's entirely for the preservation of familial harmony. I could live quite happily with the thought of never crossing paths with him again.

My older brother and I haven't spoken in over 8 years. Very few people know I have an older brother. I refuse to be in the same building as him, let alone the same room. I pity anyone that gets the displeasure of his company, he is a vile, manipulative piece of shit.

I have a younger brother and sister but I'm not close to them, there's a big age gap and I moved out when they were still young. They are teens now but pleasant enough to be around, but they would much rather spend time with their mates than their big sister. I would take them into my home in a heartbeat though if the need arised.

I have no siblings but I do have several family members I don't give a rat's fuck about. I wouldn't walk across the street to see them. Just because we are related by blood doesn't mean a damn thing.

I don't really like my older brother. He's a racist, homophobic Daily Mail lover.

Greggers2017 · 11/04/2018 09:09

Thanks for the replies glad to know I'm not alone. This was following a discussion with a friend who only has one sister who she is very close too. She said I was strange and cold due to me not liking some of my siblings very much x
