I don't get on with my sister, well, she does think it's a good idea to play her music so loud that it can be heard walking up the stairs...:rolleyes:
As for my brother - kind of, but I talk to him when I want something...
My brother, hmmm. I get on with him but it's his cow bag wife who I cant stand.
i have a brother... he is ok, but sometimes... he have just get drunk and crashed his car... hm... sometimes he really acts like complete idiot. :eek2:
When your young your not supposed to get along with eachother! The older you get though, the more you realize how much they mean and how special they are.
When we were younger we argued a bit, but it wasnt that bad!
It took a lot of years and a lot of hard work for us to get where we are now.
I s'pose when I was younger I resented it a bit, but now it's my folks that I've the issue with and not him because they remind me of the above constantly.
Older brother (34) I get on with alright too, although he still thinks I'm not able to buy my own drinks when we go for a couple and just does act a bit patronising, which really gets on my tits.
I really do get on with my big sister Mairi though. I reckon we're probably the black sheep (she's got a motorbike and smokes) and we always bitch about the rest of the family.
Am in the middle of a big bust up with my folks though, so apparently they aint allowed to speak to me
When we were younger, we used to fight like animals - he couldn't walk past me without getting a punch in, once had me up to the wall with a kitchen knife at my throat, and in retaliation I hit him over the head with a stool.
As we got older, we stopped physically fighting, and it turned verbal and snidey. Then we just didn't talk at all for years. We went to the same family functions, but we'd just totally blank each other.
Very recently, efforts have been made by other family members to bring us together, and we have had a couple of very strained, but quite civilised conversations. But it's really hard. We're like strangers.
Everyone used to say that as we grew up, we would stop fighting and get along really well. But now I'm 25 and he's 27, and still no sign.
We chat on msn sometimes, but thats about it.
i have a friend who's number ends in 666 and she has 1 brother.
i have 2 older sisters. i'm 21 and they're 22 and 26. never had a problem with the older one because of the bigger age gap plus she hasn't lived at home for a number of years. me and the 22 year old used to argue like anything; i put it down to the 12 months and 3 weeks age difference.
it's much better since she moved out and i like seeing her but if we spend too long together in a confined space we start winding eachother up.
That sounds, spookily, exactly like me and my older brother. Except it was me chasing him with a kitchen knife, and I hit him over the head with a very large book. His specialities were taking potshots at me out of his bedroom window with an air rifle, throwing things at me (like bouncing a tennis ball off my head repeatedly - I still hate Wimbledon) and endless verbal abuse.
We last saw each other at my Nan's funeral almost 7 years ago, and we haven't spoken since. I'm 35 and he's 37 so I don't think we're ever going to be close now, somehow.
my 12 year old twin sisters grace + alice i CAN get along with fine, although lately they have become a bit hormonal and take every single thing I say as an excuse to start an argument. plus theyve only just recently started being interested in boys so are hardly ever round the house and i dont really get to see them!! which in some ways is probably a good thing..
grace is very much like me in that she can be very timid and quiet and we get on fine, but if someone or something annoys her she can become a right bitch!! (which lately, is ALL the time!!)
alice however is the complete opposite and sparks off all the time! its like she has a split personality or something, because one minute we are having a laugh, and the next minute she can be screaming at me to go away or hitting me with whatever random missiles she can get her hands on!!
overall though, i guess we get on relatively ok!!
my sister sophie is 17 and.. weell we dont reeally get on very well. i guess the main reason for this is because she does not live with me and my twin sisters. when she hit 15 she had a fight with my mum (which is now resolved) but chose to go live with my dad instead (we all go over every weekend to see him anyway so we get to see her too).
ever since then, she has had a lot more freedom (my dad is ALWAYS at work) and she has basically been getting up to some pretty bad stuff. hanging out with the wrong crowd, doing drugs, sleeping round, and i also recently found out that shes being making herself sick to get slim.
because of this i just dont have the time of day for her!!! i know i should be helpful and help stop the behavior, but to be honest, i just dont want to! we speak when we have to (which generally results in an argument anyway!) and for the time being, im fine with that!!
as for my step-brothers - well, i get to see them saay.. every 4 months or so!! one of them i dont think i have spoken more than 10 words to ever since their dad and my mum got together!! so id say its pretty explanatory to say that we dont have a close relationship!
I think most of the people I know are very close to their siblings; on an average night out at least five people will have brought at least one brother or sister along. Feel the love
We have our moments but generally we're ok.
