Do you spend a lot of time with your siblings?

[Kabob]

I see my sister and her kids every few months but when we're near my wife's brothers we hang out with them a lot. We're hoping to move near them and if that's the case we'll probably see them many times a week.

I don't have a problem with it though, I get along phenomenally well with my in-laws and her brothers and I share a ton of interests (motorcycles, cars, gaming, etc).

I have 2 sisters. But I wished I had a brother when I was growing up. I used to get into trouble because I use to play too rough with my twin sister, and I would always make her play video games with me.

Now-a-day's we are all several hours apart, but I see my twin about once a month, and my older sister maybe once a year. It's kind of depressing to think about it that way. But we all get a long wayyy better now than when we were younger and all living together.

not at all. They can die for all i care.

I have 4 sisters. 2 live on the west coast. I talk to them a few times a year. The other 2 live within 2 hours of me.

I invite them to everything we do. From birthday parties, family BBQ's etc. they never show up even when they say they will.

the two that live near me are very close. The oldest married a great guy at a young age (think 18 and he was 23). he worked for comed as a janitor and now is a high level manager makeing a decent income and my sister has not had a job for more then 5 months. my other sister worships her for some reason.

we all inheriated a good amount of money when my grandfather passed away. not sure what the 2 out on the west coast did. But the younger sister here blew it on drugs. the older did buy a house but didn't put any in the bank and not sure where it went.

I put into a computer shop and opened a few used car dealerships with my dad (who inherited some from my grandfather). I rarely worked in the dealerships (i really really suck at it) but it was a good source of income.

my sisters both told me that was a dumb idea for years..until we sold it heh.

but over the years they have called me names and told the kids that i was "uncle idiot" or "uncle handicapped" etc.

As i said i would invite them to EVERYTHING. i would even call them the night before to make sure they were comeing (so i we had enough food). they would say yeah we are comeing YET NEVER SHOW Up. 2 years ago when we had a birthday party for both kids (month apart). they said they were comeing and even posted on face book "off to nephews party =( " but they never showed up. When they don't invite me for ANYTHING. from the kids parties to family events (they invite everyone else though)

Also i have had a lifetime of health issues. From having mild CP, deaf in one ear (and half in the other). While i never let it stop me from doing what i can it has caused me issues. over the years it has gotten worse and i have other issues. My sisters tell everyone im faking it and lieing to everyone and the doctors. yeah i been doing that since i was 3. fucking idiots.

The last part was when me and my wife were going through the divorce she was calling my ex and telling her WHAT i planned to do (did not find out for sure until recently). She even said she would be my witness but skipped the court date.

So i figure fuck them. life is to short for having shitty people in my life

Wow waggy, you have some pretty fucked sisters. Sounds like my brother and your sisters would get along nicely...lets make sure they never meet :|

My 3 younger brothers all live 9 hours north. I don't see them (and their kids) nearly as often as I'd like to. It's been 10 months now, since they all came down to help build me a garage.

Usually I see them once or twice a year.

my sister and I (3 years apart, she's older) fought like cats and dogs growing up. time and distance have mellowed us out, though.

I talk with her on facebook several times/week and we'll see each other 3-4 times/month. especially since she's been off on maternity leave (popped out kid #2 in March) and soon she'll be on summer vacation, she's over at my parents house pretty often.

just to get out of her own house, she'll walk the kids over to our parents (well, kid #1 walks, #2 is in the stroller) so kid 1 can play with the dog, swim in the pool, etc. I'll go over and we'll hang out, eat dinner, etc.

my youngest brother lives in south lake tahoe, hes 6 ears younger so we never spent that much time together, but we had been hanging out every couple of weeks before he moved.

my other brother is 5 years younger, i see him most every week, we hang out more during the winter and watch a lot of hockey and chill. hes a pot smoking hippie, which im cool with, we just have different circles of friends (even though i know and get along with most of his)

my sister is 1 year younger, barely talk to her. she lives about 2 hours away...nothing really against her,but shes married with kids. ill see her every couple of months or so.

were all on good terms, id say im closest to the hippie. we can pretty much count on one another if either of us is in need.

I have one brother. He is a huge jack ass to my parents. My mom, who was diagnosed with an early form of leukemia last November, wanted to go see Wicked! with us and my grandparents. He was late, bitched about it, didn't say a word to us, and then when he was invited to have dinner with us afterwards, he simply didn't show up.

He hasn't come to family events in years, and the few times I have spent alone with him, he constantly bitches about my parents, who gave him a great life, really.

So, needless to say, I don't spend a lot of time with my brother. And while it is sad to me and my parents, he is a jerk-off and doesn't really deserve the time of day. I am surprised he actually managed to find a girlfriend.

What say you?

Next time you see him and he starts bitching about whatever, punch him in the face and call him out for being a whiney, no-good, pathetic waste of breath.

My older brother and I never had anything in common, and when we were young he used to make my life hell by constant bullying and teasing. In the 30 years after I left home, I think I saw him 6 times. He is dirt napping now, so probably won't be seeing him 6 times in the next 30 years.

My sister and I also aren't close, but I see her 5-6 times a year at various family functions.

I have 2 younger brothers. I'm 27, one bro is 26 and the youngest is 16 (parents were trying for a daughter lol). I see them 3x a week because we all compete in olympic weightlifting and train together. I have a really good relationship with both of them. I am closer to my middle bro due to our ages but the youngest bro is cool. My middle bro doesn't get along so well with the youngest one though. They both live at home but I live at my own place.

I got a lot closer to my middle bro when he went off to Uni and we've gotten closer ever since.

It's really cool what we have. But if we didn't train we would rarely see each other and that would be a bit sad. It's interesting that the bond that joins us together is our love of competing and olympic weightlifting. Man we use to compete in all sports at schools and academics.

Our parents didn't really encourage us to be competitive or anything but I think it first started with lego and later video games and just spawned out to sports and academics lol. We just hated to lose at anything so would always compete in everything.

I love my bros!

important detail

my sister and I didn't really get along that well until we were both living on our own. and then having kids helps. I'm the godfather to her oldest; obviously she wants me in their lives and I want to be there.

Yes that's a very important detail. I get my own space at my own house and we spend a chunk of time training together together and going out. My bro hangs out with my mates so we all get along great. We all work in finance related fields also and talk shop.
