Got any brothers or sisters? Older or younger? Anything you want to say about them?

I have one brother who is two years younger than me. Growing up we never got along. But since this last summer we've been really good friends. Don't know what happened. Might have something to do with listening to the same music. Or both starting to watch anime (particularly Cowboy Bebop). For the past three weeks I've called home once every week so I could get to talk to him (I think I called home once during all of last year). Plus I'm really proud of him now getting great grades (so far this year he knows he's got an A+ in Japanese and a B+ in German!)

I have one brother who is 8 and a half years older than me. He lives with his wife down in Austin Texas with a dog and a cat. We always got along great growing up and I try to visit him whenever I get the chance. I am truly blessed to have a brother like him.

I'm an only child. It has it's pros and cons. The major con in my adulthood being that there is nobody around to talk to. I would LOVE to have a sister to hang out with and talk to. It was also tough when I was younger...I always wanted someone to play with.

But I also liked it growing up because I got LOTS of attention from everyone and got whatever I wanted. From my grandparents, especially. And now my mom and I have a wonderful relationship...I can't imagine there being anyone else around to infringe on it!

I have 1 brother and 2 sisters all younger then me. It can be quite anoying when you're the oldest child.

My brother is 15, he can be annoying but most of the time we get along. The I have a sister who is 13, I don't have any problems with her and then my youngest sister, she's still a child so I don't mind her walking around.

i have a brother who is 5 years younger and does anything he possibly can to bother me (you have something important and ask him not to mess with it to make sure it doesnt get messed up or dirty and he instantly has his hands all over it!) but sometimes he isnt that bad :lol:

I have one brother and one sister. My brother is 23, he works for the R.A.F and still lives with us. Bless him, hes very sensitive. He keeps to him self too. But he's out drinking tonight :)

My sister is 21 (and 9 days old :P) She lives in the City with her girlfriend. She may be moving back in though. So it's going to be great fun. Im proud of her too, she just passed her driving test and bought spiffy new Vauxhall Corsa.

I get on well with both of them, especially with my brother. Theres and big gap inbetween us, but i don't care. I like it :) OMG, that was long and a but to much info, but i feel good after it now.

I have... four cousins on one side and two cousins on the other side that are much older so they seem more like an aunt and uncle... I do know a lot of people with much larger extended families though... I'm going home with one over Thanksgiving... :P

I have a sister who is seven years younger than me. She's six years old, in other words. It's an odd relationship. One moment we'll both be playing together peacefully without a care in the world and the next she'll be trying to throw a book at my head. <_< It's strange. I think we'll get along better when she's older. XD

I have...seven cousins, and two cousins once removed. Or...at least I think they're once removed.

If one of your cousins has a child, is that your second cousin? I'm not too bright at this terminology stuff. :)
