regulator 0 #26 March 22, 2010 I am the youngest of 3 kids. My brother got married and moved away when I was 8 joined the navy and didn't come back to Texas until I was 19 or so. My sister lives about 5 miles from my house and we get along pretty well. My brother currently lives in Thailand and rarely comes to the United States to visit, and he often blames my parents for his misfortunes. Now my lazy ass neice (her most important accomplishment in life was getting pregnant by a hard working guy (damn I feel sorry for that kid!) came by our house and was telling me and my wife about the troubles her grandma and grandpa were having and how if it were up to her she would put her grandpa in a nursing home...I said stop right there...the 'grandpa' person you are referring to is MY FATHER...and last time I checked...you aren't on the board of directors (B!TCH!!) I am. He's my father and you DO NOT have a single say in ANYTHING when it comes to my parent's well being. So step the fuck off before you find yourself knee deep in some shit you can't dig your way out of. She got pissed off and left, but my nephew...Love that kid...we are basically best friends...my neice? no idea what happened to that lazy slug. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nataly 38 #27 March 22, 2010 Quote I only have an older sister and we get along very well...Just as long as we are not in the same room Ah ha ha!! I didn't get on especially well with my younger sister growing up, although over the years distance has.. well.. distanced us. But I don't think it was ever a sibling rivalry.. My brother and I both moved away from home at a young age, so I think we don't now each-other all that well, actually.."There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeJD 0 #28 March 22, 2010 I have three sisters, two of them older and one of them a twin. As I remember we fought a lot when we were growing up, and it was only as each of us moved away to college/ university that we really became better friends. It definitely helps when you're not living under each other's feet! I don't have very much contact with them - see them once or twice a year - but I love them because they're my sisters, and they care about what happens to me and vice versa. I always think it's tragic that so many families have rifts, but I can see how it happens! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
