To ask what your relationship with your siblings is like

[User2024096]

Have a very poor relationship with one of my siblings and get on with one.

Shit. For a few reasons including our mum treating us differently but mostly because his wife and I don't get on. Which is so embarrassingly cliched and I hate it. But we just have a real personality clash, we're very different people. Nothing has ever been said and I doubt it ever will but it's just a bit strained when we're together (rarely as we live in different countries).

A bit gutting as he and I were very close when we were younger. I'm hoping things will soften over time.

Get on very well with both siblings - no issues at all. Love seeing each other and spend the whole time laughing.

Sad to hear about all these NC siblings 🙁

I have one brother, a year younger. We fought constantly as teenagers but have grown much closer as we got older. Even though we're in different countries, we're in regular touch over WhatsApp/ FB and see each other 1-2 times a year. Have been on holiday together with our respective partners. I enjoy his company and he's the only person who really understands what it was like to grow up in our somewhat dysfunctional family. I know he would do anything to help if I really needed it.

We get on really well, he loves in New York now, me in the UK, we talk once our twice a week and see racketeering 4 times a years. There's just over 2 years between us and we fought like cat and dog growing up, him going to uni and me moving out was a god send for us.

Poor with one (trying to rebuild) distant with another (get on fine when we do see each other) and superficial with the other (we are in regular contact, get along quite well superficially but are very different!!)

4 of us and we are all very close. Help each other, share care of DF and never argue.

I adore her.
Love my DSIL to bits as well.
In fact I always say I have 2 sisters.
DH loves them both as well.
I hope our DC continue to have good relationships, at the moment they are scattered because of uni.

Love both my sisters loads but we are sisters and not friends.

Best friend. My sister is three years younger and we weren’t particularly close as kids but have got closer and closer as we get older. We don’t live near each other but we go on holiday together, spend as much time together as possible and our kids are all very very close.
Can’t imagine my life without her.

2 of them I get on with. Not particularly close but we keep in contact.

1 am NC with. She's a psycho.

One brother and one sister
My sister is absolutely crazy, but I adore her. We speak at least three times a week and see each other every two months or so
My relationship with my brother is not as close, but we speak regularly
We all spend Christmas together

My sister and I are NC. She's the golden child and I'm the scapegoat.

Being NC has been such a relief, I'm only cross that I didn't do it sooner. She's spent years patronising and criticising me, and is a born again Christian who can deal with the community drunks and drug addicts but can't take our elderly father shopping or to any of his hospital appointments, as she gets no public accolade for doing so.

And our Mum will never take my side, so I don't even go there anymore.

We get on if we are around one another but we don't have any contact outside of being at the parents house.

We get on fairly well when we see each other, but we're very different in personality and outlook. We never arrange to meet up - it only happens at wider family occasions - although we do communicate by text / FB.

Basically - it's fine but we're not close.

Pretty good.

Speak regularly to my sister, less regularly to brother but we’re one of those families that can go weeks between catch ups but when we do it’s like no time at all has passed.

They’re both younger than me. Love spending Christmas altogether.

Mine is very good. We have a WhatsApp group just for us so are in contact all the time wherever we are.

Brilliant. I adore my sister.

We are either best friends or worst enemies. Way it’s Always been

2DB. Get on Ok with one. The other one and I barely speak. DM once said ‘once I die you and DB1 will never speak again’ and she is probably right. Christmas is a nightmare.

Closer to one than the other. The one who's closest to me in age has a massive chip on their shoulder and is convinced I got preferential treatment as a kid because they were so badly behaved so got told off frequently (played up at school, played truant, in trouble with the police for minor offences etc)

I'm very different to my younger siblings, Ds is 3yrs younger, dB 9 yrs younger.
I like them but do not feel close to them at all. It's almost like we're not related. I'm not sure if the feel this way towards me mind.

But whilst I love my parents I'm not very close to them either. I think it's because we're all adults not just trying to get on with our lives that I see them differently to what I did as a child.

I have 4 siblings. Ranging in age from 33 up to 50.

Love love love them all and see them fairly regularly.

I thought it was OK till I got ill and couldn't be unpaid childcare for my amazing nephews and nieces. Now never hear from some, 1 only when she wants to gloat.
I was once in itu following surgical error and was told I'd ruined her Christmas because I could no longer babysit (had them every other weekend plus loads in holiday) took them on holiday many times but can no longer do it due to ill health yes surgeon not me ruined her Christmas but I had my whole life ruined because of it.
Other siblings no longer see because I can no longer drive and it was always me going to them.
There's nothing at odd as family.

I have two brothers. One I rarely see (didn’t see him for 5 years). He has no interest in my family or my life. They’ve never been to my house (I’ve lived here 15 years). To be fair his wife is a nightmare and very judgemental so maybe it’s for the best.
My other brother and I are in regular contact and see each other regularly even though we live in different cities. The brothers are very different people and don’t really get on. It’s a shame really. Makes me feel less alone reading this thread.

my sister is my best friend. there’s only 18 months between us so we’ve always been really close. we see each other every day and regularly have movie nights at each other’s houses. we’re also very close to my our brother. our whole family is very cuddly and lovey though.
