The reason i use the term "half" is because I do not like my brother's father. Too much stuff to go into on here, but suffice it to say, my mother, her husband, and my brother are no longer a part of my life.

I call mine brother and sisters in general conversation, only using half when I have to explain - me being 31 and having a 6 yr old sister tends to raise some eyebrows


I have
1 older sister
1 younger sister
2 younger half sisters
1 younger half sister

I went from being a middle child for 17 years, to the second oldest.

I just have one half brother, he is my dads son from his first marriage, I love him to bits but I only see him on average once a year as he is so busy,works hard and he is a body builder and he is trying to get into it professionally. x

I have a brother that is 7 years older and a sister that is 6 years older.

Can you say... "accident?"
That "you didn't want me anyway" came in handy for the year or two I acted out in high school.

Another lonely only child. Not really, I kind of like it! I am real close to my kids so it's like having siblings.

3 half sisters (Kimmy, Debbie, Monica), 1 step sister (Brandy) and 1 step brother (Jerry)....so plus me, that's a total of 6 of us.

Reguardless of the "1/2" or "step" thing, they're all family as far as I'm concerned and all are loved very much.
We just call each other brother/sisters when anyone asks.

I had 2 older brothers, 3 and 4 yrs older than me. The one that was 3 yrs older passed away April 1, 2009. My other brother lives in San Diego. I was the only girl in the family.
