Most of us have them and it's got to be one of the deepest bonds you'll ever have in your life. Talk about it here.

If my bond with my siblings is going to be one of the deepest ones in my life, my future in relationships doesn't look very promising.

I wish we could talk more openly about the (abusive?) things we did and did not share when we were little. I wish we could be honest about how our family works anymore. :/

I love my brother, I do, and I get along with him fine, but I don't think either one of us would say that it's one of the deepest bonds in our lives. At the end of the day, we're just very, very different people.

No, the sibling bond doesn't have to be one of the deepest you'll have in your life. It is perfectly possible to dislike your siblings or feel ambivalent about them.

I like my brother just fine, but I wouldn't consider him one of my best friends even though we are fairly close in age. This isn't an uncommon sentiment.

I love my three sisters and younger brother. I hate my older brother more than I hate stepping on a slug in bare feet.

Man, I just feel so guilty if I step on a slug or a snail or something. It just makes me feel like such a dick.

(Also I'm sorry that your relationship with your brother is like that. but yay for your other siblings!)

There are five of them and they are all to a man excellent human beings of whom I am both exceedingly proud and exceedingly fond.

I have a brother. He sucks. He broke the washing machine by leaving coins in his pocket and melted everything in the freezer by leaving it open. He blamed it on me because he's "super careful and would never do that". I hate him and I'm eating the Toblerone my Mom gave me to give to him. I have two Toblerones. Fuck you, Marc

On the one hand, we're super close right now and have pretty much the same perspective on social issues.

On the other hand, she tends to minimize the stuff I went through as a child. For one, there was a period, do to health issues, that she was actually really abusive towards me. But she denies that it happened (not sure if she just doesn't remember or if it wasn't abuse in her mind) and insists that we both fought equally. And every time I want to talk about the bullying I experienced at school, she minimizes it by insisting that everyone experienced bullying and that my experience wasn't unique in a way that clearly says she doesn't want to hear about it.

It is getting really old.

I have twin younger brothers. Technically they're only 22 months younger than me, but I get to claim a full two years most of the year. (It was a big deal when we were kids, trust me).

They're actually at the same school I'm at, and in fact they live in the apartment right above mine! I'm moving into it now that they're moving into a three bedroom place. :3

My older younger brother (by only two minutes, admittedly, but that too was a big deal when we were kids) has this glorious future plan for our family, and I really want it to work out, because it seems pretty neat.

I'm actually pretty proud of them, even though they're jerks some times, as younger siblings are want to do. They're both Eagle Scouts, and worked really hard to achieve that, and they did their best to keep their troop open and safe for all members, even when one of the kids came out as bi, and his dad didn't approve.

My brother is so self-centered. He's also the only person in my family who has interests that are somewhat similar to mine. When we were younger, he would play games with me and we'd talk about shows/books we liked, etc. He's the only one who knows about what's going on on my shows and who is interested to talk about sci-fi and/or fantasy stuff.

He only calls when he wants something. The worst thing is he pays lip service but never follows through. Like, he says we'll get together or he'll read something I want him to read or he'll watch the 2 minute trailer I send him. But it's utter bullshit. If it's not about him or his wife and kids, it's not important and he never gets to any of it. If he doesn't want to, fine. But don't say you will then.

He calls my parents up for money or babysitting all the time but he doesn't call to ask how their day was (or their most recent trip). He never bothers to offer to pay for dinner; they always treat (and my mom has expressed how much it bugs her). But, he'll spend a lot of time going over his wife's birthday and making sure we're going to a restaurant SHE wants. But he also can't be helpful enough to tell us what she actually wants as a gift.

He's so disappointing and I'm so done with him. It's sad because I would love someone to talk to about the things I like but my parents are better at pretending to care about my shit than my brother who actually does like the stuff I do.

Honesty I just wish I knew her better? That I'd been given the chance to anyway.

My only sibling is my half sister, who is 21 years older than me, and that set-up is AMAZING. Beyond the fact that she's awesome, she has been such a mentor to me (in life, but also with pop culture. She's shepherded me into a lot of interests), and because there's such an age difference there was never really any sibling rivalry.

my only brother is 8 years older than me. He was always a bit of a mad scientist type, which made growing up with him exciting.
Also he stabbed me once. It was an accident though.

Overall we get along pretty well.

I have one sister who's five years older than me. Our parents were both military, so at the end of the day all our other friends came but we still had each other.

Spent a huge portion growing up fighting, but like the good older sister/little sister fighting. We shared a bunch of the same interests and tended to convert each other to stuff. She got me into Harry Potter... I got her into Pokemon and ATLA...

Got slightly more distant in college due to physic al distance. But now we live about 30min away from each other and see each other every other weekend or so. She has two dogs and four chickens that I occasional watch while she's busy and I feel I talk about her/them ALL THE TIME.

I've got an older brother who I get along with very well, we're very similar when it comes to our interests and we share some personality quirks but he's the more rational out of the two of us and has the better temper as well. It's really hard to piss him off and he's generally really friendly and open. His wife is also amazing and I love her like the sister I never had.

Little by little, we're drifting apart from each other. We used to watch the same TV shows and movies, and I'd watch him play video games, and he'd let me try sometimes but I always thought I was bad at them.

I realized he didn't love me as much as I loved him when we bought silver & gold together. He bought Silver and I bought Gold because I had hoped we'd trade Pokémons, but he traded them with his friend instead. I never played any Pokémon game seriously after Gold.

A long time after that, I went to college and would only come back on weekends. He got a job and he's working Saturdays so we only see each other Friday and Saturday evenings and during Sunday. Over the years I lost interest in most of the things I liked. No more TV show watching on Sunday evenings! Then I learned he joined a MMO and I followed him. But he was just there because of his friends, so when his friends left he lost interest too. I still play the game on my own now.

Now he's looking for an apartment. Soon he'll move out. He says he'll come back on Sundays but he's going to do it for the first few months. And then I'll virtually never see him again.

I kind of blame him for not caring about me and I hate myself for being a boring cunt.

Only child, but I have the siblings I chose. :)

Sometimes I wonder what's going to happen when I need to take care of my parents. But then I look around, and... honestly? Maybe in a way I'm better off. I think of people who have five brothers and sisters and are still on their own when a parent gets sick or dies because they're the only ones able or willing (let's face it) to do anything. Or people whose siblings pitch in, but then they argue about how to do the caregiving. And anyway, there's people I know I can count on to help. I've already had to, unfortunately, but they came through.

Still, as much as I love my sibling figures, if you will, I do sometimes wish I had a blood sibling. Someone I could share things with, especially when things get bad.

Got a younger brother, and signifcantly younger sister (fifteen years - I often get mistaken for her father).

As incredibly trite as it sounds I would die for either of them. Used to fight constantly with my brother but we're close now we've both moved out. He's easily going to be the most succesful of us, on track to get a first in a difficult subject at a russel group uni, and is a social butterfly. Even if he does ignore my advice to marry the girl obsessed with him who's father has a london property portfolio measued in the hundreds.

Little sister is on the cusp of starting to become a teenager with everything that entails, but is already showing her intelligence and empathy. Also 5'8" at eleven and really into basketball. If only there was money in that because she's on target to be as freakishly tall as me. And massive anime fan who provides lists of anime for me to download to a hardrive and bring for her when I go down because the internet at my families place is too slow for real downloading.

I love my sister to death, but I really wish she would talk to someone, anyone, and unload. The depression is getting harder for her to deal with, except for the part where she's not dealing actually, and switches between passive-aggressive to agressive-agressive is getting harder to defend to rest of the fam.

I won't push her into anything, and I already stopped suggesting help, because the last thing I want is for her to shut me out like she's done with everyone else. It sucks because she's pulled me out of the worst ruts, and I can't do the same for her. I'm even getting fed up with her lashouts. Being helpful to friends and strangers is easy compared to this, and I have trouble with the idea of taking no responsibility here.

I have three sisters and one brother from my mom and one of each from my dad, whom I barely ever see. They're all younger than me.

My sibs from my mom are the ones I grew up with and still live with. We fight with each other a lot. Not as much as a few years ago but ever since one of my sisters moved out, things are nowhere near as volatile. She was nice enough to come by and leave her three week old baby for me to raise though (he turns 4 years old next month and calls me mommy).

I wish my other sister, whom also has a child (that she raises, though I co-parent a lot) would get her shit together already.

My brother is 19 and thinks he knows all but he really doesn't. We used to be really close but he's shat all over our relationship and it hurts. I'm watching him go down a very self-destructive path ATM and he seems happy to drag down the whole family. Joy.

My youngest sister is cool though, so far. We get along well despite a 17 year age gap. She seems to be the only of the four with commonsense. Which is great but will be better when she's not a bratty little preteen. =p

God, and they frustrate me to hell and back and I frustrate them same but we'll defend each other from the world. It's a really weird dynamic I guess lol.

I have one sibling, older brother by 3 years and we do not get along, never really have had a great bond at all. He's always had opposite views and opinions on things for the most part, plus he's kind of an asshole so I don't really prefer talking to him that much. He's also got four kids all 7 and under and about to have a 5th (his wife converted him to Catholic and that made him even more of a douche, she also also has 14 other brothers and sisters) and idk where he's getting the money. Probably from my asshole dad and stepmom because they think he's the perfect child and have basically said this.

So yeah I don't think that's the deepest bond I'll have in my life.

I'm the older of two sisters. We fought all the time when we were kids. As she's grown up, we've gotten along better, and it's often weird now that she's the voice of reason in the family. But even when we're together, we don't always get along. She's embraced my Mom's judgmental tendencies and when we clash, it's usually over stuff involving that. Still, though, compared to my friends' siblings (and some of the other siblings in this thread!) I would choose her as my sister 99% of the time.

I've got one sister and one brother. My relationships with both of them are on-and-off, though with different sets of issues. It's especially complicated with my sister. She pushes against me I think without realizing it, wanting very much to be different from me for its own sake (which I do not resent though it makes me sad that that's resulted in us not having as much in common as we could) and also reacting to when I was an older teen and she a younger one and we were both embroiled in our own mental health struggles and I was really just being shitty to everyone without even trying.

My brother and I actually have a relationship that's better with distance. We have some very different interests and worldviews but also some that are very similar. I think he and I have more in common overall as we both take after our dad in personality (as well as looks) whereas my sister is more like our mom. But we clash a lot when we have to share a living space. He's still fairly immature in some ways too.
