To ask if you would find it odd if someone

[Beatinghearts]

Said they cared my about their friends than their siblings?

No

No.
Family relationships can be odd.

No

No. I adore my oldest friend. She is literally my best friend in the whole world.

I thoroughly dislike my bitch of a sister and my weird brother. Couldn't honestly give a shit about either of them.

I probably care more about acquaintances than my own sibling but my sibling is a toxic pos

Not at all. Quite like my brother but my sister is awful!

No

No, I think that’s normal tbh.

Not in the least.

Nope.
Some siblings can be toxic and unpleasant.

Nope ,not odd at all .
I fuckin hate my siblings but adore my friends.
The old saying that you can choose your friends but cant pick your family is very apt

My friend loves me more than her siblings. Shouldn't be hard since she hates two of them and barely tolerates the third.

Not at all. The relationships I have with my friends is so much more cherished than that I have with my Dsis.

No. I'm one of them.

No

No. Blood isn’t thicker than water. Not every family is a happy one, siblings aren’t perfect and sometimes we find our “family” with our friends.

I don't think I'd find it odd, because everyone has different lived experiences and histories with their families, but I can't relate because I love my sister more than anyone (except DC)

I love my ddogs more than my parents... I reckon that's canny normal!

No haven’t spoken to my own sister in a year, siblings aren’t always close

Nope. My brother refused to acknowledge me for most of my late teen/adult life (I'm 51 now, for reference) and I still have no idea why.

My friends were and have been more supportive that he ever was. He took his own life in December so I will never know why he hated me so much, but no, there are plenty of reasons why people value friends over siblings/family.

I love my brother but I'd use him as a human shield to save my best friend.

I care far more about most of my friends than most of my family members.

Not at all. Families aren’t always close.

This is reassuring reading for parents who worry about having only one child (like I did even though it was my only option)
