Are adult sisters more likely to fall out than brothers??

[justasking111]

I had two brothers as adults we have never had a fallout. I read if sisters on here and elsewhere who are shocking. I've seen it in real life too

Am I being unreasonable here is it just as likely to be brothers falling out??

Obviously, it hugely depends but I have a lot siblings of both sexes but I’ve noticed that when the brothers fell out with each other, it’s less often and over bigger things. And the spat goes on for longer.

It probably depends on the siblings

This is a site with mostly female posters so sisters falling out more likely to be posted about on here than brothers I would think.

I think i expect more from my relationship with my sister than from my brother, so we disappoint each other more. We are closer as well.

Definitely

I think it's a female issue in general though with not being able to get on with others that well

You never really hear of men moaning about their father in laws (or mother in laws for that matter)

It's always women not getting on with other women. Same applies for sisters.

Depends on the siblings. My sister is my best friend. my husband and his siblings are generally civil and practical, and superficially friendly in that they will chat at family gatherings, or arrange to meet for the kids to play, but there's nothing deeper than that.

It depends on the siblings surely? I see my sister every week and we haven’t argued since we were in our teens (30s now).

Depends which one is the golden child!

I adore my sister. Shes my friend as well as family and I would die for her. My brother is a vile, wife beating pyschopath who can do no wrong as far as my mums concerned, even when he fraudulently took out nearly 25 thousand pound in debt by using my dying dads name. I went NC with my mum and brother last year and my sister has totally had my back and shut them down everytime they tried to spread lies about me. I kniw our dynamic is 50 shades of fucked up and in no way normal, but im sure theres lots of women on here who dont get on with brothers for various reasons. It does seem to be a factor however on the stately homes thread that a large majority of golden children tend to be boys.

Both my dp and I have one brother each , no sisters and neither of us talk to our brothers. Its usually due to personality clashes / behaviour rather than the sex of your sibling

YABU.
Totally depends on the person.

I’ve got two sisters and three brothers and I’ve never fallen out with any of them as adults (and they haven’t fallen out with each other either).
My ex had two brothers and they seemed to fall out every other week. They just don’t tend to post about it online.

It will obviously depend on the siblings surely? My own sister made a malicious report about me to social services so I haven’t spoken to her in 2 years

I’ve never fallen out with my brother or my sister

I fell out with my sister (I am a woman). My DH has fallen out with his sister and his brother. All made up again now and no long lasting damage but I think it would suggest sex doesn't determine relationships

I don't have a sis and nor does dh.

Dbro is tolerable in small,well- spaced doses. Dh is extemely LC (Christmas and birthday cards only) with one dbro but gets on well with the other when he sees/speaks to him on the phone but this is by no means a regular thing.

Dm had two dsis's (both now deceased) and they all seemed to me to get by. No dramatic fallouts AFAIK but not joined at the hip either. She was the youngest by quite some margin so I imagine that had quite an effect on the dynamics.

I have a sister, both in our late 40s and we've never had a crossed word.

Oasis?
