I’m male aged 19-22, I have an older brother about 4-5 years older (giving age ranges for better anonymity). Relationship is… not good (read: it’s terrible, horrifyingly terrible, arch-nemesis). How about you?

Edit: added age for context

    Older brother… Grew up together, hated him for a long time, perhaps unfairly as mother is really responsible. Kinda fine with him now

    Younger sister. Love her dearly. She’s off keeping her distance from the family and so am I and so we never really talk.

    Younger sister 2. Adores me. Makes bad decisions. All I can do is support her. Love her to bits.

    Younger sister 3. Living the standard good life. She’s fine, doesn’t need anything from me or vice versa.

    Younger brother. We get along great. Reconnected recently. Look forward to seeing him again. We have a lot in common.

    Younger brother 2. We worked together for a few years, weird being his brother and his boss but we’d had so little contact it wasn’t too weird.

    Now I write this down I realise there’s so much story here. Really interesting!

    For reference, I’m in my early 40s and I helped raise most of my siblings to different degrees. Taught them to read, to use the toilet, that our parents are pointless 😁
