sibblings do you have? do you like them? LOL that sounds funny but i'll start...

I have one sister who is 4 years older than i am. we are like oil and water. we just simply don't mix well... she is a very very selfish lady. my mom died early and my dad is now seeing another woman - after 10 years of sitting home mourning my mother's death...) but this woman is so wonderful and she is so good to him. she's alot like my mother... but anyway my sister is so upset about it and she is making my dad's life hel*!!! i'm so disappointed in her. you would think she'd give it up, but she is just hammering him about it all the time.

I'm one of eleven! (I count steps because our parents have been together 18 years.)

Here it goes! (You asked for it!)

Larry---I've never met. His mom moved to Australia when she was pregnant. Dad was 15?. He's never seen him.
Terry---Out of all my brothers, I get along with him the best. I haven't seen him since I was seven, but we talk on the phone all the time. He's coming up for my wedding and I couldn't be more thrilled.
Adam---I've never met him either...I think it's because my dad disapproves that he's gay. I stayed with his mom for a week in May and somehow he never came up.
Stacy---I've never met Stacy, and doubt I will for a good while yet. She resents Dad and wants nothing to do with any of us.
Brandy---We don't get along at all. She lived with us at Mom's for a while. She's the most disrespectful person I have ever meant. She acts like she's three, can't hold a job, and doesn't have custody of any of her four kids.
Dean---We get along for VERY short periods. We are total opposites. He has NINE kids (at age 26). He has custody of one and tried for custody of another, but doesn't pay on any he doesn't have. (Though two were adopted out.) He has one heck of a temper and an addiction to pain pills that has caused many problems.
Don---Dean's twin. I love him to pieces! Like any siblings, we have our moments; but generally we get along pretty well. He had three gorgeous girls whom I miss dearly.
Amber---We get along ok, mainly because I don't exactly let my feelings be known all the time. She's fairly lazy. She lives with my Mom and her(our) Dad. They practically raise her kids for her. She doesn't really interact with her kids much. When she does, she's screaming in their faces and calling them names. (And they wonder why the kids want to move into my house!)
Donald Nicholas---My darling baby brother. He's my only biological brother. I wish I could tell you if we got along or not, but sadly he passed away at two days old when I was two.
Brittney---We get along for the most part. She recently moved in with DF and I in order to straighten out her life. It doesn't seem to be helping though. We're probably going to have to sit her down and talk to her.

I have 3 sisters:

Arlene: My oldest sister (13-14 years) - we get along pretty well - they live in PA so we really only talk online every once in awhile. She is probably one of my most supportive siblings. She has 4 kids and 2 grandkids (her oldest is two years younger than me and has two kids). She also had two sons in the military.
Tina: Second oldest sister(by 12-13 years) - we are peaceful to each other. She lives in NY. We have a lot between us that just isn't going to be resolved because no one in her little circle/world agrees with me. Her father got back together with my mother when I was 11 - shortly after he moved in with us he started being verbally and mentally abusive to me. My mother would just sit there and do/say nothing. When I was 16 I moved out and left that all behind. It strained my relationship with her and my mother - but we "talk" now just not about what is really between us. She has 4 kids too.
Colleen: My closest in age sister (by 8 years) - we are like best friends. She lives in NY. More so when I lived closer. When my mom worked late, my sister took care of me - until she moved out when she was 17. She always understood me better than anyone else. I moved in with her when I was 16 on the agreement that I kept all my grades up - I failed biology and ended up moving out. Moved in with friends for the summer and then family friends before school started. Our relationship is still pretty close. We don't talk as much as we used to because she got rid of her internet and I don't have long distance. She has 4 kids too.

I have 1 brother.

He is 23 and just got his Masters at the London School of Economics. He spent his junior year abroad in China and then taught English in China for a year in between undergrad and grad school. He's a VERY smart cookie and I am so proud of him! We get along very well. He's back living with our dad for right now until he finds a job--most likely, it will be overseas, so I am enjoying having him in the same city while I can!

I have one older brother, Frank. He just turned 31 so he's 2.5 years older than me. We were very close growing up. We of course had our fights, but they never lasted for very long. He was (and still is) very protective of me. In High school I didn't really every have any boyfriends cause my Big brother scared all the guys away. And if that wasn't bad enough, all of his friends became my "adoptive big brothers" too. They still act like they are now too! But it was nice to have when I had a problem!

My brother and I are still really really close even though we're "grown ups" now. He's married and has 2 of the most awesome little boys you'll ever meet. We still goof around like we're 12 and he's still really protective of me! When he met my DH for the first time, I think he grilled him more than my Dad did! I don't think he liked the fact that my DH was older than he was! LOL He got over it though! I'm really proud of my big brother! He has grown up to be quite a great man (when he actually acts like a grown up- he'll always be a kid at heart! LOL)

I'm an only child and was always jealous of those with siblings. Especially because we lived back in the sticks and I didn't have any other kids around to play with!

I have 2 sisters.. both are older.. I usually get along with the oldest but I haven't talked to her since July because of something she did. My other sister I've never gotten along with and probably never will, I can't stand her.
