To ask if you like your siblings

[Thedays76]

Seems everyone I know has amazing sibling relationship. I just don’t

I don't either.
Last spoke to my sister 5 years ago.

Yes I do...be lost without them

No we don’t speak at all haven’t spoke in over a year

NC with one, tolerate one and friendly with one

Yup all three of them - one especially I would be lost without.

I love half my siblings.

I do now, with my sister, but didn’t for years. My mum didn’t speak to her siblings for 10 years and now suddenly they’re texting for birthdays and christmases and even met up on zoom during lockdown

Needless to say I know my cousins’ names (because I have them on FB) and that’s about it.

We have some weird family dynamics where people don’t speak to each other for years but then someone does a U turn and it’s all fine again, I get really confused. What I mean is, it might not be forever?

I have three, I don't talk to any. They're all awful.

I get on with my sibling now. Didn't always and I have had to change my expectations this has helped.

I’ve cut 2 of mine off and am low contact with another. The rest I get on fine with.

Love mine, DH loves his but doesn’t like him.

Nope, avoid as much as possible as we just rub each other up the wrong way and for some reason it’s always my fault, got a family event on Friday which I’m looking forward to apart from having to see them

2 yes , the other I haven't had contact with for 15 years

I love my sister. We are very different and probably wouldn’t be friends if we weren’t sisters. But, our shared history gives us a unique bond that is extremely important to both of us. I am sorry you don’t feel close you your sibling.

Nope. When I finished disbursing my parents estate it was a relief to know I now never had to speak to him ever again

Nope - am polite at social gatherings ( infrequent and obviously less so since Covid )

Only see my brother when I visit my mum's (he still lives there). No contact with step sister, minimal text contact with half sister.
My sister in law is one of my best friends though!

Yes, my sister and I are really good friends, see eachother and text all the time.

I really hope my son and daughter are friends in adulthood. It would make me incredibly sad to think that they wouldn't speak.

Yep, love my sister, would be broken without her.
I don't think there is a prescription, it's luck, maybe nature and probably nurture but all three can let you down. I feel lucky, it's good but not sure what mage it good.
to you.

I do - brother and I are very compatible; I'm not sure my sister and I would have much to say to one another (other than similar sense of humour) were we not siblings, but we do get on. I don't think the 3 of us have a super-close, confiding sort of relationship, but we are like mates.

Yes. My sister is my best friend. I also get on well with my bro but he's the one that I disagree with the most lol. We always clear the air though.

DH is really close to his brother even though he's lived on the other side if the world for over 20 years! He has 3 half sisters who he gets on with but isn't as close to as he only met them about 4 years ago!

Thinking about it I don't know anyone who doesn't like or at least get on with their siblings! My parents have positive relationships with theirs (except my mum with her secret adopted bro but she doesn't really know him tbh)

Not much no.

Some are okay. They probably say the same about me.

Lc with my ds.

We have absolutely nothing in common and our lives and views couldn't be more opposite if you'd tried.

Her behaviour is also horrendous and she's toxic.

I very rarely see her.

My dm treats her like a child victim still and enables her behaviour so together they're a pair of twats

Definitely don't dislike but have nothing in common beyond a shared childhood.
