Spent some time this first part of the year with my sister who moved away many years ago. Maybe 25 years or so. I've come to the conclusion, and hate to say it, but I don't really like the person she has become. I know not everyone is perfect, and certainly don't expect that, but it's sort of interesting to me that my thoughts of her were rooted in growing up an even longer time ago. To be around her for a few months, it sort of changes my perspective on who she is, or who she became. Certainly there are many things that are the same, but it got me wondering if others have experienced this same sort of thing. Family is forever, but sometimes I'm just shocked at the stuff that I've seen/heard lately. Has this happened to you?
OT: Do you get along with your siblings?

I get along with both my sisters but I disagree with the youngest on about everything to do with raising children. She lives across the country so when we do get together I try to keep the peace. Her oldest had some complications around the time of getting her 6 month shots and she all the sudden became a vaccinations are bad person. I would still do anything for my sisters or her kids though.
I see my sisters once a year when we go back to GI for the 4th of July. That’s all I can handle.
I'm very blessed to say that my brother and I get a long very well and communicate often... My wife and her sister however don't talk at all... maybe a text on a birthday but that's it. Just two opposite people who have nothing to do with each other... and my sis-in-law can me pretty uppity and stuck on her ideals so that just adds to the issue. I think you're right though... we remember them more on how they were when we grew up rather than who they are now.
My brother and I are only 11 months apart. So we grew up very close. Would say we are still very close now. We both live in Omaha about 10 min from each other. We go out to bars together and go to movies, watch football games. We usually get our family's together a few times a month.
My sister is 6 years younger. I feel like a don't really know her. We see eachother 2 or 3 times a year. They typical small talk. She is a great person. We just have nothing in common.
Now my wife has a sister and they haven't talked to each other in 2 years. She is a b#$% and bipolar. (My sister-in-law, not my wife. lol )
Think is all depends on the family and personalities. I heard a saying once. Something like " If they weren't your family, would you want anything to do with them" If the answer is no, then why waste your time. Put that time and energy into the people who you want to be with and who want to be with you.

i dont think its rare to not get along with family.
although, the reasons many times can be picayune.

Sorry, I look around and I thought it was cool to bring your politics into every post.
Brothers majority of the time get along with one another and forget things that really wasn’t important in the first place...
Plenty of sisters never forget something that happened in the past and dwell on it time and time again or their jealous of what one sister has( bigger house nicer car etc etc) over the other.
Maybe it’s just a women’s thing..

My brother just sent me this on a tshirt. Awesome.
My younger brother works in the same building and we get along. He hooks me up. Winking
Older brother lived in Texas and is moving to Omaha. I get along with him but I don't really have very much to say after a while. He's actually in town tonight.

My sister hasn't spoke to me in over a year, not sure why, nor has she given me a valid reason. I've tried numerous times to contact her but get nothing in return. I find it sad her life is structured as such but will be her cross to bare down the road.
My sister loves sports so we can talk about that. For the most part her and her husband and their kids have their lives together. My brother died in 1991 at 24 years old. He was a pretty good guy but didn't have much common sense. He struggled in school and probably would have led a hard life. His decisions would not have helped either. I miss him to this day but wonder what our relationship would have been like had he lived (probably not good). We didn't have much in common and I would always shake my head at the choices he made. He has a daughter who is an adult now and she makes terrible choices just like he did.
I am very close with my younger brother. I very much dislike my older brother and if we didn't work together I would rarely speak to him (sounds fun, right?) I get along with both of my sisters well enough.
I am close to my uncles and several cousins as well.

Stop ruining a decent thread with politics. Nobody cares.
I always wondered what I would have been like to have a sister. Females are strange but wonderful creatures.
PS: Started watching Game of Thrones blind. Is there usually this much dwarf sex?

Sounds hawt
Jesus man..., seriously.
I used to get along with my siblings just fine but then I started noticing that they always hijacked every conversation with their pointless political nonsense regardless of the topic. As if anyone asked or cared.
that happened one time when my younger brother and I went over to my dad's for thanksgiving. My dad brought **** up and ruined everything and we left in less than an hour.
It’s usually the women that bring up old $&it.Winking
my dad is a woman. Smokin
With there being 6 of us I have a great relationship with all of my siblings. I'm the oldest with my youngest sibling being 10 1/2 years younger and my only brother is 8 years younger than me. I know I fought with my siblings a lot growing up, but I think that's pretty normal. Now though we never fight, it's a blast hanging out with them & their spouses, and it's fun watching our families grow.
I attribute this to our parents & our upbringing. We had to do a lot of family stuff together (church every Sunday, church events, family trips were tent camping, almost always went to every siblings ball games, had to work a lot together, etc) and though it usually led to someone fighting or crying, something about having to do all of that together really made us bond well as we got older.
There was a point in my 20's where my sister closest to me and I did not get along very well (just like when we were growing up). We'd be cordial at family events, but if it were just us two after a few hours it'd get pretty bad. Honestly it would probably have come to physical blows if she were a dude. Fortunately something clicked and the arguing just stopped & now my wife & I hang out with her & her husband quite often.
I also have a lot of cousin's that I get along with great, but my siblings are some of my bests friends and it's just awesome having them around.

Do what I did, when I turned 20 I was finally physically stronger than my Dad. He started sassing and I put him in a headlock and whispered in his ear, "you had a good run, pops, I am the law now." He never brought up his archaic way of thinking again. Old needs to die to make way for the new. Youth is a forest fire. Just last week my own son kicked my ***... circle of life. #lionking
I bet your family reunions are a lot of fun.
There like a elephant they remember **** 30 years ago
Or can't remember things you have told them a dozen times.
My brothers and I had bloody fistfights while growing up. I punched my mean older sister in the stomach, as a child. She ended up being taking to the doctor because she couldn't handle a solid punch from an eight year old.
My oldest brother is my best friend. My sister, I love the most. My younger brother, well... Two out of three ain't bad.
I do love my younger brother. He is a dipshit, but he's mine.
They live in Wisconsin, which helps a lot. But they’re great with the grandkids and are nice people. I don’t always agree with them, we’ve learned not to discuss politics (or I’ve learned to keep quiet or leave the room if needed), and they try.
Headed up to see this then weekend.
50/50 with siblings, my moms brother was my favorite uncle and my dads best friend. We are extremely close ......he would rough house when I was a kid, I was 20 or so and he wasn’t messing around it got serious he grabbed a chunk of my hair and was twisting to save his life , I said you let go and I am going to kill you lol, he jumped in car and headed out , the torch was passed, he is 73 I am 56 we go to casino once a month
Face it...you are the ******* if you can't "get along" with your siblings once you are all out of the house. You literally have to TRY to not like them after that point. So...if you sit there and ***** about it just realize that you (and them) are the problem because at one point you played with them non-stop in one way shape or form.
So unless you are a grand dragon in the KKK and they are a VP of the Black Panthers...you get along just fine. Don't ruin things because you disagree on school districts or spankings or sugar intake.

I had to look up the definition of picayune. I thought it was a newspaper in Louisiana.
My sister and brother 8 and 7 years older than I all get along great.
