Do any of you not like one of your siblings?

[ManBearPig]

Just wondering. I have 3 siblings, but I absolutely despise my older brother. Anyone else in a position like this?

 

[SlitheryDee]

I like both of my siblings.

 

[ManBearPig]

I think he's a little mentally handicapped or something, though. Definitely not 100% there.

 

[Imp]

Yep, all or both.

One's a hoarder, stupid and naive, has no personal or professional goals, selfish, 32 year old that just moved back home over a stupid reason.

The other's an asshole, stuck-up, know-it-all, control-freak, asshole, nosy, overcompensating, chickenshit, asshole. Also cheap as hell.

i used to not like my siblings ... when i was like 10-14 and we'd always fight.

now we are pretty close and do a decent amount of stuff together. i have a brother, sister, and a half-brother (but i refer to him as a brother to everyone, but we don't have the same mom).

my half-brother is a little over 10 years younger than me, but we have hung out a lot since my dad passed away nearly 3 years ago. we have a lot more in common than i do with my other siblings. and he lives 2 hours away, so it's nice that he can come over and stay the weekend with my wife and i and we can go do things together. additionally he's become good friends with my bro in law.

Sadly, my brother is a jerk. I don't really like spending time with him.

 

[mrCide]

Used to not, he got better years ago and we get along, he actually works in my department at work. Has a big heart. I do have a half brother and 3 half sisters I don't know very well though, and they're half my age anyway.

My sister and I used to fight constantly growing up. We live in the same city and I'll see her a couple times a year. Things are better than they were but I wouldn't say I have a very strong relationship with her.

 

[kranky]

Not actual dislike, more like apathy.

 

[D1gger]

My older brother was a jerk, and we did not get along at all. The last time we spoke was in 2004. He died in a car accident in 2007. I did not shed a tear.

My younger sister is ok, but she tends to be very needy and looking for help all the time, so I don't go out of my way to see her.

 

[SillyOReilly]

One sibling, awesome sis with awesome kids.

 

[blackdogdeek]

sorry, i love my brother and sister.

My family is pretty typical- you live where your career takes you. They are scattered throughout the country. When we meet up for family gatherings, (sad or glad), there is always an air of tension. It seems that someone is unhappy with someone and it makes things weird.

 

[Rhezuss]

Love both!
My bro is one of my board game buddy and is not a fucking moron that likes to insults tohers "for the fun" during games lol
My sis is pretty cool and loves her family and it shows.

We hang out regularly for a drink or just to chill!

 

[Alienwho]

Don't like my youngest brother. My other two brothers I'm mostly cool with (despite me not liking some of their moronic life decisions (women)).

 

[SirStev0]

we are currently on good terms but that comes and goes. feel like that is how all family is.

 

[Jeffg010]

I have 2 sisters. When growing up we would always fight. The 2 sisters are closer with each other then with me but we get alone with each other. Also when growing up I seemed to be the one that my parents disciplined more then my sisters. I always had bad grades and it was my down fall. Once we got to our 20's things changed and my 2 sisters cause some major problems with ex husbands and poor life choices. I ended up the better person with a better job and less drama in life and better choices in life karma is a bitch.

 

[rcpratt]

They're both still in college. We've always liked each other, of course the normal brother/sister stuff happened. We're not all that close because they've been off at school and I rarely see them.

My grandmother died last month and we invited her brother - who hadn't talked to her in 20 years - to the funeral. They had fought when their parents died about something silly about the will. It was very sad to watch him...he'll never forgive himself for not making up with his sister before she died. I pity those that don't have relationships with their siblings.

 

[Platypus]

This thread makes me wish I had a brother.

 

[Aikouka]

I get along with my family, but it probably helps that I'm fairly distant. I thought it was kind of odd that my older brother asked me to be a best man in his wedding. I always hear about how some brothers are really close, but that was never us and still isn't. Heck, the only thing we ever did consistently together was argue, and given we're only a year apart, we did that very well.

My younger brother is an odd situation. I don't dislike him by any means, but he can be hard to deal with since he's mentally retarded (from a stroke). He's only three years younger, but he acts more like... 20 years younger.

 

[Gooberlx2]

Sadly, I don't feel quite as close to either my brother or sister as I use to. Time, distance and different directions will do that to some degree I guess. Still, I love them dearly.

 

[AstroManLuca]

I feel like I lucked out. Both my family and my wife's family are pretty normal and not screwed up like so many people. I have one younger brother and he's a cool guy and very responsible. Also his long-time girlfriend is a very nice person as well and they are a really good couple.

My wife and her sister don't always get along; her sister is maybe the hardest person in her family to get along with. She'll get offended at any little thing and then she'll sulk and not speak to you for days. Although I suspect she is depressed. Not a whole lot anyone can do though.

I have a sister 13 years older than me and a brother 11 years older than me. I was a surprise.

My sister and I get along well, she lives far away but wants her kids to know me. My brother lives nearby and I do not care for him at all. He's never gotten along with me, despite my attempts to be friendly with him. I decided last year that I'm done with that. I'm civil when the family gets together, but we're far from close (my brother and I).

Thankfully, I have no siblings. When I was a kid, I wanted a brother or sister, but it wasn't to be. I DID end up with a couple of step-sisters and a step-brother...and can't stand any of them. (we never lived together...my dad married their mom)

As I got older and saw all the problems that many people have with their siblings, I was glad I never got my earlier wish.

My wife has a brother who's an alcoholic pot-head. They don't get along at all, and while they speak on the phone a couple times per year, we haven't seen him in almost 4 years.

I have two brothers and I see them both weekly. On many levels we're all drastically different, but we get along great. It always makes me sad to hear when people are estranged from their family.
