To not really like one of my siblings

[User54047]

I feel that it’s really rare to admit to not liking your sibling but I really don’t like one of mine. I feel really bad about it in a lot of ways.

I guess though maybe it’s not uncommon but it’s something people in real life don’t see to talk about

I have one I rarely see and don’t think I’ve ever spoken to on the phone, we have nothing in common, there is no dislike just apathy, it’s not uncommon.

Never have liked my only sister, have cut her out of my life now and so much happier without the stupid cow.

One of my siblings is the most selfish, spiteful and tantruming meddler ever. They're my mums favourite and no matter what nasty things they do to others, they are perfect in my mums eyes.
I'm completely nc with this sibling.

I can't stand my sister, we seemed to sort of get along when we were little, but now I hardly ever see her which suits me fine. On the very few occasions I do take her to Aldi or wherever (she doesn't drive and lives alone) I've maybe driven quarter of a mile from picking her up, and would happily punch her and drive her straight back home. I have loads of friends who love their siblings, but it's so strange to me and I couldn't imagine socialising with mine or worse, having a holiday with her.

I have six siblings and to be honest there's only two that I like. I used to really try hard to get along with them all, act as a go between and peace maker but I just can't be arsed any more so only bother with the two that I actually like and who I feel like and care about me.

My brother (only sibling) is a selfish, lazy, ignorant, racist, sexist, useless arsehole. I haven't spoken to him in years and have no intention of ever speaking to him again. Just because you are related to someone, doesn't mean that you have to like them.

Oh gosh i would say this was very common! You can choose your friends and all that. I’m not particularly chummy with my elder brother. He can be a dick! I love him but we’re not friends.

I don't like either of my siblings. I'm NC with my sister and LC with my brother.

I don't know how we're related. They're awful people.

I have two younger siblings.
My brother, while on £60000 a year salary takes at least £200 a month from our terminally ill mum, as he's 'destitute'. My sister is an alcoholic.
I love them both but dislike the people they are. They don't like me much either I don't think, as they think (perhaps rightly) that I'm judgemental and a bit of a bossy know it all.
I never say anything though as it would hurt our mother. After she passes away I won't say anything either but will no longer have anything to do with them.
It's very sad though and I do regret the way things are.

My brother has changed a lot over the years and I have tried and tried to maintain a relationship with him and his family. Is has caused me profound sadness to finally realise he can't want to be in contact with me and my family. I made myself ill over this over the years, we are a very small family, but finally I've come to terms with the fact it is his loss. Still hurts though.

I have two siblings. One I love and get on well with, we love 2 hours away and visit one another regularly. Our kids adore each other and play really well.

My other sibling is, in a word, A fuckwit. If he wasn't family id have nothing to do with him, he's lazy, entitled and bad tempered. As children he was awful to me, he stole from me even in his late teens, not little things but my Walkman, purse etc, slept with my friends (then ghosted them) and was (and still is) a compulsive liar. I've actually stopped making the effort with him now, life's too short. Mum of course thinks he's the bee's knee's, there's VERY different expectations because I'm female.

That’s a shame.
Maybe they don’t like you either?

Shortfeet No they don’t appear to.

I don't like my brothers. In fact, I don't love them either. They get more unlikeable the older they get.

I can't abide my sister for a few reasons. Selfish, judgemental, thinks she's a cut above the rest. Her partner is a twat too. Shame but there we go, i do often wonder how the nephew is though. Haven't spoken for around seven years and that suits me fine. We're doing just great without them in our lives.Will probably never see them again.

It’s not as uncommon as you think. People just don’t talk about it because there’s a stigma to not liking siblings. If you say you don’t speak to a relative, some people are all ‘ahh but she’s your sister/mum!’ even if you explain that they’ve abused you. Apparently to some, sharing blood means your relatives can shit all over you.

People automatically expect siblings to and BFFs. You see it on here all the time, people having DCs close together do they can be besties and whilst that may work out when they’re very young, it means diddly squat if they grow to have very different personalities or one becomes a complete arse. Case in point- I’m NC with DB1 who’s 18 months younger who’s a bully and narc.

Siblings have been warring since Kane and Able.

Dont feel bad. I was NC with my sister for a few years . I always thought she was greedy, selfish, narcissistic. Our mother died last year and she is worse than I ever previously thought and I utterly despise her for her attitude towards my mothers possessions and her me me me first mentality. Worse thing is, her daughters (early 20s) are like my sis when she was younger. Me and sister will never speak again. Ever. In my opinion, friends make more of an effort with each other than family does.
