How did you torture your siblings?

If, indeed, you did.

I distinctly remember bopping my sister on the head with a recorder one time. I can still hear the 'donk' noise it made.

Then there was the favourite of repeating everything she said in a whiny voice.

My DH's eldest brother used to keep a fart jar then pin down his younger siblings and hold it over their face.

Any other gems any of you would care to admit to.....?

My brother put slugs in my wellies, I screamed the house down, still hate slugs, mind you Im sure I was equally as horrible to him too

I used to make my younger db eat stuff. Marbles, coins, nail polish remover... my mum warned me I'd regret being mean when he got bigger than me. She was right.His favourite trick when we were older was using every family gathering in the nine years beteeen meeting my dh and getting engaged to wait until I'd put food in my mouth then ask whether we were thinking of getting married, and let the awkward silence drag on forever....

Just by being alive, my half siblings appear to hate my guts like they hate my mum.

My brother was at weaning age and my mother lovingly made all his fresh meals and left them cooling on the worktop I proceeded to cover them in pepper fortunately my 5yr old self wasn't bright enough to mix it in so she noticed it before feeding it to him!!

Also used to wrap full rolls of cello tape round and round him and leave him... wow I was mean Hmm

My 5 year old brother was petrified of the Goose Bumps programme in particular an episode about gnomes.

I used to watch him from the window and call the phonebox when he was near it and pretend to be murderous gnome who watched his every move, this went on for 6 months and he was terrified of my next door neighbours garden that was full of gnomes. Then my mum caught me on the phone threatening to eat his brain whilst he slept :o

When he was 8 however we had bunk beds and I got in the bottom one night to discover a very large kitchen knife dangling from the slats above with an elastic band!

We also used to have sword fights with pool cues.

My sister told me my toy Koala "Cuddles" was suicidal. I would find Cuddles with her head in the gas oven, dangling from the dog lead, strapped to the piano stool with kitchen knives dangling from the ceiling....

I was 6. She was 16. Surely old enough to know better?

I was a horrible, horrible child.

I told my sister I had spat in her milkshake - this was after she had finished it. (I hadn't, btw)

I talked her into letting me give her hair a bit of a trim (it was halfway down her back but her fringe was only level with her jaw) with a big pair of scissors and one snip - I took the lot off to the level of her fringe.

I got her to play a game of hide and seek with me, and then shut the airing cupboard door when she hid in there and just left her. For a long time. She is now claustrophobic.

I told her santa was dead. On Christmas Eve. She was 5.

Frankly, I am amazed she speaks to me. We are very good friends and very close now, thankfully.

Vitalstatistix · 29/07/2014 08:06

Oh, and I told her that you have to pretend to be asleep at night because a witch comes into your bedroom and if she realises you are awake, she will take you.

She still has to do that now, and she's 37.

Mind you. So do I. And I'm 40. So that one sort of bit me in the arse Hmm

We were just laughing at this thread and DH mentioned what he used to do to his little sister. He used to open the top of her chocolate advent calendar and slide out the tray, eat all the chocolates and then put it back and reveal it. She would then open the doors and it would be empty...DH would do Sad and suggest that they had forgotten to put the chocolates in.

My little brother and his best friend used to wind me up by calling me "radiation woman" as according to them I was so toxic I was radioactive. They used to dance around me in a circle shouting "radiation, radiation" whilst wiggling their fingers in my face. It would send me apoplectic with rage!

I got my own back by accidentally on purpose driving his best friends brand new remote control monster truck straight into his outdoor swimming pool. Whoops.

ilovesooty · 29/07/2014 22:36

On Christmas Eve we used to go to my auntie uncle and cousins. One year my little sister had earache so we couldn't go. In bed that night she was sniffling and waiting for Father Christmas so I told her it was Dad.

She was just 3 and I got an almighty bollocking for that.

These are brilliant! I was the youngest, and only girl, with 5 older half-brothers who hated my very existence (Groovee I feel your pain). Needless to say, I was the favoured torturee, although my youngest DB also got the short end of the stick a lot of the time, and as he was the closest in age/size to me he was my torturee a lot of the time too! One that will always stay with me was when I was 6 and the 11, 13 and 15 year olds helped me climb an enormous tree right up into the tiny weak branches about 25 feet off the ground, telling me how cool I was cos they were too heavy to get that high. Then, they left me up there. For the rest of the afternoon. My dear Gran found me just after sunset. I was a gibbering wreck. Fortunately no residual fear of heights though!

Things turned round in my late teens and early 20s when they frequently developed crushes on my friends - needless to say, their most embarrassing personal trivia would be rolled out! Love them all to bits though. :)

Mercedes my dh had the advent chocolate prank done to him by his older brother. It's so mean!

Vital Oh, and I told her that you have to pretend to be asleep at night because a witch comes into your bedroom and if she realises you are awake, she will take you. I may use this on my dc.....

It was DH's eldest brother the one with the fart jar I think he resented all of his younger siblings so was particularly mean!
