Cool... Twins have always amazed me.... Dunno why

It's funny you say that.
My sister's lived with thier mother and only visited 1 weekend a month so I really didn't see or grow up with them.
My brother lived with us and would go to his dad's every other weekend so I think that's why I am closer to him even though he's 11years older.

We moved to florida 17 years ago so I pretty much grew up here while they all stayed in Ky. They were all grown, married and had kids of thier own so I didn't talk to them much. I was raised as an only child (prolly why I'm a brat
)
I really wasn't close enough to call them about boyfriends, girl problems or make-up tips like alot of my friends did with thier sisters.
They're both (my sisters, not brother) are very jealous of mine and my kids relationship with our dad over it all too. So much so that last month when my sister came to visit she got mad that I walked up to our dad at the flea market and jokingly said "Hey, buy me a soda too" and he did.. She walked away and didn't talk to me the rest of the day.. when she did she said "You're 28yrs old and can't buy your own soda?" I told her "No, I'm 28yrs old and was joking with dad and he did it. You're just too uptight to ask him"


WOW..... How did I get into spilling all that out?

I have 3 siblings. We are all 4 years apart. And older brother, an older sister, me, & a younger sister.

Both my sisters hate me & have repeatedly told me everyone's lives would be better if I killed myself. My brother & I get along very well.

maybe you should tell them, that since they are the ones with the issues, maybe it would be much better if they went away.

Yea, one older sister, 8-10 years i forget,
We get along just fine when her computer breaks.

Sounds like my sister.. She's the middle sister (the one I mentioned above). She went to prison for 18 months and had the nerve to write and tell me I was a burden on the family

When I was pregnant with my younger son she wanted me to adopt him out to her because SHE didn't feel like I could raise a child... Um.. HELLO!? I had a 4yr old at the time who was definatly NOT being neglected, abused or underfed

The oldest sister and I don't even talk anymore.

I had 2 brothers, one is deceased, and I don't even know where the other one is. He thinks he is better that the rest of his family, so good riddance.
I have a sister who is so awful that demons are going to be fighting to get out of hell when she gets there. She pretty much ruined our family by being a vicious, greedy, malevolent, hag her whole life.

Both of my sisters have HUGE mental issues. I remember, in high school, being so scared of my older sister, that I'd lock myself in my bedroom & put my dresser behind the door. I stared at the window fearing she would come in & kill me. I was just too afraid to say anything.

My lil sis is more "Manageable". Less...I don't know, bi-polar?

I know exactly what you mean; chronologically my sister is 11 years older, mentally/emotionally...I'm the big sis.

I have 1 brother. I am the oldest and we don't get along at all. We don't even talk and we live in the same house. He is one of those people that thinks he is better than everyone and I can't stand him.

I was an only child for 15 years, then along came my Brother. Hes in 5th grade now, whenever i'm with him, people tend to think hes my child. Our mom is going to be 58 when he graduates high school
Then i'm really going to look like his mom...that ought to be an interesting day!


Hes such a cute kid though, we love doing things for him! Right now my Husband & I are redoing his bedroom so its cool place for him & his friends to hang out. Hopefully he is going to like it!

One older sister. We didn't always see eye to eye growing up. She was the rebellious one I was the angel (no lightning please). Now that we are both older and wiser we are close. She is 4 years older than me.

I am the oldest grandchild out of the entire family, both sides. I have 2 siblings, my sister is 2 years younger and my half-brother is 19 years younger than me. My sister seems to think that she is my mother
and tries to boss me around. We haven't spoken for a while because the last time she called me, I was at work, trying to get my stuff caught up at the end of the shift and she started telling me about the Fair and some other crap. I told her that I did not have time for her then and she hung up on me. Maybe I could have phrased it better, but she knows what my job consists of and when it is NOT a good time to call.

Do you have any siblings? I have 5. I have two 1/2 sisters on my mom's side,one 1/2 sister on my dad's side, a step brother and a step sister.

They are: Monica (oldest's) -1/2 sis on my mom's side. she's 18 yrs older than me, Kimmy (second oldest) -1/2 sis on mom's side. she's 9 yrs older than me, Debbie (3rd oldest) - 1/2 sis on dad's side. she's 8 yrs older than me, Carolyn (Brandy) - (4th oldest) and my step sis. she's about 4 yrs (something like that - i can't remember!) older than me and Jerry (5th oldest)and my step bro. -he's only a few days older than me. I'm the baby) So all in all there's 6 of us. But we didn't all live together at the same time. My mom was divorced 3x and has a child from each marriage. My dad was divorced twice- Debbie was from his first marriage and I was from his second.

(confusing eh?
)

Are you the oldest? Youngest? Middle? I'm the youngest

Are you close to them? I am very close to Kimmy (my 2nd oldest sister) - she lives down the road from me- we see each other just about every single day- she's one of my best friends in the whole world! I love her to pieces!


I'm pretty close to Monica too- but since she lives in Hernando, Mississippi- i don't get to see her as much as i would like.

Debbie- i don't have a lot to do with- she has a lot of mental problems and has really just gone off the deep end lately. Colin and I are considering trying to get custody of my litle niece and nephew- but that's an entirely different story. Debbie was abused very badly by her maternal mom when she was little and my step mom it really hurt her and she's never been the same.

Brandy-I don't have anything to do with- she started doing drugs when she was pregnant with her prescious little baby boy- and as a result he was born severly deformed/etc. She's a wreck. I don't have anything to do with her because she's a druggie. It's sad. I reached out to her and tried to help her get the help she needed- but she just doesn't care.


Jerry- he's almost as bad as Brandy- into drugs/always getting into trouble. Colin wound up arresting him a few months ago when he was driving drunk through our city. That was the first time he had met my brother
Jerry I do see once in a while- but not that often. He is trying to make positive changes for the better- and i want to be there for him. The reason Brandy and Jerry are like they are has a lot to do with my horrid step mom and the way they were raised. It's sad. I love Jerry to pieces though- we were really close growing up (we're only 5 days apart birthdate wise) and it breaks my heart to see him making stupid choices.

I am basically close to monica and kimmy because they're the only ones out of my sibilngs who haven't really got into trouble/etc and that i can trust not to make stupid choices/etc. I love them all- but i am the most close with my two oldest sisters.

Sister 1 is 20yo
Sister 2 is 15yo
Sister 3 is 14yo
Brother is 10 on 22 Oct. Makes me chuckle, hes 11 younger than me but only 9 years older than my son


I get on best with my brother. NEVER see the 20yo, we are VERY different. (We only live 5 mins apart)

I'm the oldest of three kids and have two younger brothers. Tom is two years younger than me and Kevin is 10 years younger. Both of them are happily married with two children each. We're not close in the sense that we hang out like friends would but we see each other fairly often at family gatherings and get along great. We're definitely there for each other if one of us needs something, though. I've always gotten along well with my brothers. They kind of made it their mission in life, especially Kevin, to tease and pester their older sister and that still continues today.
