To ask if you like your siblings

[Theeyeof]

Just that really

Yes. I go on holiday with my sister, and we speak most days on the phone. Haven't seen her since feb due to covid and being 200 Miles apart. She is coming for a visit in 2 weeks. Can't wait.

One I truly adore, my life is better for their existence and I’m so happy with the way our relationship currently is, couldn’t imagine life without them.

The other, meh. Very low contact, no interest in their life and they have none in mine. Taken a long time to accept we were only in touch because we felt we had to be.

Yes my siblings are ace

One has narcissistic traits and I still adore her. I think you can.

I have an older brother and a younger sister. Brother is fabulous. We don't talk or see each other that often as we are both busy and self sufficient. Younger sister is the psycho bitch from hell. She has manipulated my parents and after many years of angst we are now nc.
Brother doesn't talk to her either. Unfortunately my parents are still in her thrall so I'm nc with them as well. I'm absolutely fine with that!

I like dsis - but it is definitely easier to get on with her at a distance of approx 400 miles! I think she thinks she is superior to me, and I know her dh thinks they are vastly superior to dh and I.

Only four out of six of us left, we are the very very best of mates, holiday together, talk most days, love each other's company. Each of us could turn up on the others doorstep anyday anytime and all would be welcome!

Hmm yes and no. They can be alright but other time’s not. We’re not very close but would be there for each other if needed.

When people are discouraging big families on here, I always think it's a very short term view (if the argument is parental time). You have a life time to support and share things with siblings. The more the better.

Love all 3 of them, but have nothing in common with the eldest, middle one is a narc but amazing fun so I'm wary, the youngest is amazing and my best friend.

Yes, I love them absolutely. Both much older than me so we never had the sibling rivalry dynamic, I get on better with both of them than they do with each other.
They're on another continent and I miss them dreadfully.

My DH seems to be able to take or leave his sisters. No strong feelings or dislikes, they just all seem a bit meh about each other which I find so strange but each to their own I suppose.

I have 3 half sisters, one I grew up with (mums daughter) and 2 much younger than me that I only saw occasionally (dads daughters). I get on really well with the former and think she’s the best, I’m vaguely fond of the latter in a distant aunt sort of way, but honestly don’t really know them that well.

Nope. Both of them are cunts

I get on like a house on fire with my brother.
My sister... we are not close. We love each other, but if we weren't related we wouldn't be friends or probably even like each other to be honest. Related to traumatic childhood events I think.

Yep, like all three. That said, we all shared a room growing up so we've possibly just perfected the art of getting along.

Would be pleasant but with work nobody meets up too often. Always feel mind games with siblings. Have sisters. But alot families not close.

'The more the better'...what nonsense.
There are actually seven of us from my dad and mostly they are a bunch of cunts as far as I am concerned.

No. My brother is a good man with a good heart, but we are complete opposites and have never been friends.

I didn't growing up. He is my only sibling but was a bully. We're now in ours 40's, our parents are dead and I still can't forgive the trouble he caused. Haven't spoken to him in nearly two years.

Nothing to complain about. We hardly talk but not because we don’t get on just busy doing different things. If they need me they know I’m here and if I need them it’s the same. If we bump into each other we will chat.

Fought like cat and dog as kids.

Completely different people now, we don't see much of each other, but we message a fair bit these days. I love my brother. He's very clever (would never have admitted that as kids!) and he's funny. We share a sense of humour and have similar political views. He's outspoken when he believes something is wrong and I admire that as I'm not brave like that. He just doesn't give a fuck about what other people think. He's great.

No, not really.

Incredibly close as kids but now he thinks he's superior to everyone. Lectures me about my choices in life, makes it clear he doesn't like DH. Borrowed a substantial amount of money from DM, pays in back in dribbles but he lives the life of riley. He's a poor father to DN's too.

Yes, very much. One brother whom I don't see nearly enough.

they are a bunch of cunts as far as I am concerned.

Right. The common denominator is you.

My sister died a few years back. We didn't really like each other for the majority of our lives. I moved away and she thought I lived this wonderful east life with loads of money.

I like my brother but we don't have anything in common and we rarely see each other or speak. We'll message every few months.
