do you get on with your siblings equally well? do you worry about being "fair"?

I get on better with one brother. It's a bit like having a favourite and I don;t think I should. anyone else have this? anyone else worry about it?

I get on well with both of my brothers, they are quite different and so I like differnt things about each of them.

Don't speak to brother no 1. Get on with the other. Used to get on with no 1. People change, you can't really do a lot to change that.

pmdw - that's how I feel about my brother. love him dearly but wouldn't choose him as a friend. The problem is that there is family history here which has ended up with him a bit excluded - brought on by himself to a large extent but I think he's a bit stand-offish as a result and I worry that he is resentful.

I equally love and loathe my sisters depends...but we would still do anything important for each other and support each other and periodically p*ss each other off of course!!

Ah, it's fine. My brother is a juvenile delinquent pain in the arse at the moment so I am waiting til he cleans up/goes to jail before I make up my mind there.

At the moment I am irritated with selfish arse sister, not that she knows, I am just going to step away for a bit..

Other sister, all good for now.

Love it.

I only have a relationship with one brother and his family - can't be bothered with the rest of 'em...not nice people at all.
