Hellobee Boards

My brother is 6 years older than me and my sister is 2 1/2 years older.

We've always gotten along. I'm closer to my sister, but I feel like it's also because she's a girl, not just age. My parent's friends used to think we'd be putting on a show when we'd go out to dinner because my sister and I were always so lovey dovey, they didn't believe that siblings could actually get along like that. When we were young we used to play princess. I'd be the princess and she and her friends would be my people. Her idea. She liked to dress me up. We did have our years when she was in high school and I was in middle school where we didn't get along, but I feel like that's normal.

My brother lives close to me now and my sister is in NY so I see my brother a lot more.

My brother is 4 yrs older than me. We had typical childhood fights, but we have always been close. He was always big brother protective of me growing up, but still as a big bro liked to give me a hard time. I always adored and looked up to him, I still do!

My sister is 22 months older than me. We fought a lot, and I would say that now we get along okay but I don't think we are very close. My brother is 5 years younger and we get along like a house on fire. I don't get to see either of them that often because we live in different countries.

My brother is 22 months older than me. We grew up fighting like cats and dogs every single day. We're so close in age and so similar in a lot of bad ways (stubbornness, always needing to be right) so we were kind of like twins. No protective older brother or needy younger sister-- we were very much peers.

Now that we're older, we live about 4 hours away from each other so even though we try to see each other as much as possible, we just don't talk much. I'm not great at keeping in touch unless the person is right there. And of course we're both busy with our respective families. So I would say we're not very close now. But we'll always be family.

My brother is 2 years older than I and we get along great.. even when we were younger. I have sisters from my dads second marriage that range from 6-11 years younger than I, and we really don't know eachother very well.

My middle sister and I aren't on speaking terms right now. She's 2 yrs 10 months older. My oldest sis and I get along GREAT. She's 5 1/2 years older than I am. I think moreso than age, personality is what matters.

My brother is 16 months older than me. When we were little, we always played together (mostly with boy toys because he wouldn't play Barbies with me), but we grew apart as we got older. He was always popular and I never was, so when we were in high school, he'd pretend he didn't even know me, haha. The jerk. But after high school we started getting close again. We have a lot of the same interests, so we get along really well. Now we hang out every other weekend together, playing games, going to the movies, going out to dinner, etc. We love spending time together and my husband and him get along so well, it's perfect!

My husband on the other hand... his sister is 14 months older than him. I'm not sure how close they were growing up, but I suspect it was similar to my brother and I. They probably played together when they were little and less so as they got old. Actually, I think they might have been closer in high school than my brother and I were because they were both fairly popular and had a lot of the same friends. Now that they are adults though, they aren't close at all. They have NOTHING in common except family. My husband would much rather hang out with MY brother than HIS sister.

I'm not sure, but I suspect younger sisters like older brother more than younger brothers like older sisters... but that's just from my experience.

Well, considering my recent post about my sisters 'icing' me, not too well at the moment!

In normal life though, I get along with them all pretty well. I am the youngest of four and the oldest two (brother and sister) are from my Dad's first marriage and grew up with their Mom in another state. So just by design we aren't super close, but get along well. My brother is 10 years older than me and has 4 kids and my sister is 7 years older than me with 3 kids. My middle sister and I have the same Mom (and Dad) and have always been very close. We're only 2 years apart in age. We also fight the most too, hence the problems we've been having recently. But on a normal day it wouldn't be unusual for her to call me several times throughout the day to talk about different issues.

The oldest two on the other hand, I'll talk to a couple times a month and usually just to update each other on events. All three siblings were in my wedding though I wouldn't have had it any other way!

Our ages are 28,26,22, and 13. We all get along really well, I love it! DH also loves hanging out with my siblings so its perfect. The age gap with my littlest brother makes it difficult at times but we always try to figure out ways to incorporate him.

I am very, very close to both of my sisters! I don't know what I would do without them

& Mr. Bee - I think you need to start answering all of these questions that you throw out there!

my sister is 9.5 years older than me... we have always been pretty close, even considering the age gap. Even when she went away to college, I'd spent a week or two with her (as a middle school aged child) and we'd have a blast together. We are still very close now and have always been through the years.

Not close to my brother though (almost 5 years older). He was very distant with me during childhood. It's his personality... Very withdrawn. also, since my father wasn't in the picture, he tried to be a father figure to me and it didn't help our relationship.

SO has three sisters, about 8 years older, 7 years older, and 6 years younger. He was only close to his younger sister growing up (if you define close as playing video games together a lot), but now he's not really close to any of them. he considers a first cousin and his BIL more like siblings.

My brother is 2 years older than me. We are complete opposites but try to get along when we see each other in person. He is moving to the west coast and we live on the east coast so, we won't see each other much anyways. I wish we were closer.

I'm the oldest. The sister that's 2 years younger than me is probably closest to me. We talk and text daily. Then my sister that's 11 years younger than me is nearly as close. There is something really special about sisters!

My brother and I (6 years apart) were always best friends growing up, but we've definitely diverged over the years. Hopefully, when he settles down, we'll grow closer again.

We're hoping for siblings that are under 2 years apart for our kids, but we'll see what happens!

We get along now that we are older. As kids, we would always fight. Even through, high school and college, we fought a lot.

Bumping because of Mrs.Bee question and it made me wonder if this was asked.

I have one older brother 3.5 years apart. We have a lot in common but our life paths have made us distance even though he lives very close he never comes to things I invite him to and he never invites me to anything. I really hope that my LOs will get along better than us.
