How well do you get on with your siblings ?

Evening everyone.

How well do you get on with your siblings ?

Great ?
Good ?
OK ?
Bad ?

I don`t really get on with my sister she has always had things better than me.

I have a brother and a sister, my brother passed away 17 years ago. I adored him and him me.

my sister is my best friend. My speak every single day without fail and I see her at least twice a week. I’d be lost without her.

Should have also added that my actual best friend is like a sister- see her a few times a week, speak daily, and dc also close. I have an only child and I don't think you need to have siblings to have good friends/ connections in life.

I think you shouldn’t waste energy on hating people.

My big sister and I grew up close but by our teenage years we were either fighting or not speaking. We're in our 60s now. We learned to be worriers from my mum but my sister now suffers from anxiety and it's a constant struggle for me to not get worried by her worries. She's bossy, always knows best, never wrong. And I fucking love her. She's always pushing us to do more so she found jobs where we worked abroad for several weeks a year. We travelled the world for free. I'm lazy and she makes me live my life. On the other hand I'm a great planner. I keep her calm and always am encouraging and supportive of her ideas but row her back when she goes too far over things. We work perfectly together. I'd be lost if anything happened to her. Just so devastated.

I'm one of 4. We all live in different parts of the country but keep in contact daily and visit when we can. We all have kids so make sure we all get together at least once a year and as a result and through FaceTime etc all of our kids have great relationships with their cousins too

Two brothers, one sister. We get on absolutely brilliantly. Laugh with them like nobody else.

Speak to my sister a couple of times a week and my brothers pop into me at least twice a month…. BUT and this is a massive massive source of sadness for me they have completely separate lives with their spouses who while always polite have no interest in us whatsoever.

Brother had small wedding and no spouses invited and sister and brother fell out but seems ok now.

None of my siblings are really interested in our kids knowing each other and one sister-in-law actually asked my sister how many kids she had… five years into her relationship.

They all married very independent, in one brother’s case posh and in sister’s case, stratospherically rich people so their lifestyles are different to mine.

My partner’s relationships with his siblings has become strained and he thinks I am lucky but I do wish we could do more extended family stuff. C’est la vie.

I used to get along with my siblings. Up until our mum died in 2018.

One brother has always been jealous of my career working out better than his (same industry, he just didn't get stuck in like I did). Other brother is just Mr Angry when things don't go his way. My sister is partners with a control freak who was in the Army with second brother so she does as she's told. (I did try to talk her out of having an affair with the fat shit but to no avail)

They teamed up when mum died as although I sorted out all her finances (when they couldn't be arsed as nothing in it for them at the time) they thought she should had lots more money than she did have(I don't think her needing to pay for ground rent and maintenance, electricity and food entered their thick skulls).

Fuckers reported me to the Police saying I'd used POA to steal money. I never had POA! And I had every receipt from payments made and could match every single penny. Police were more than satisfied that I had done nothing untoward.

I wouldn't piss on any of them if I came across them on fire. if I heard they all died tomorrow it would not bother me in the slightest.

Not close to my younger sister and only speak via our mum but her relationship with our DPs isn't great either.

It makes me sad that we aren't closer but that is her choice.

Ok with my sister. Just ok. We're not massively close.

Our childhood wasn't grew. Your last sentence sounds like you could be my own sister. But intact - I spent my life trying to please my parents. To my sister it would of looked like I was 'golden child' but I was actually 'exhausted child'

My sister went the other way and constantly was getting into trouble.

It's most definitely had an effect on our relationship as siblings. I don't think we will ever be close, I'm always there for her as she is for me but that's as far as it goes unfortunately. I'm in therapy at the moment
