    And what age relation are they to you? Do you find you get along with your older or your younger siblings?

    Ok, I'll start. I have an older sister. She is 4 years older than me and we didnt get along too well until we grew up. I was always too young and she never wanted to bother with me but once I got into high school we both started understanding each other a little better and now we get along great :)

    I have a half-sister. Does that count?

    Our relationship is weird. Almost non-existent. Same dad, different moms. My mom and dad divorced when I was 4. I stayed with my mom. My half-sister is older than me.

    We tried to keep up a relationship when I was younger, but then when she got married and started having kids she kinda went off the radar. We aren't really even friends or anything, just don't really know each other that well other than acknowledging that we are half-sisters. I'd like to try establishing our relationship as more than that, but she and I are in two different worlds and just don't really fit together if we tried. Complete opposites.

    Well I am 29 and I have a brother who is 26 this year, a sister who is 23 this year and another brother who is 11 this year!

    We all get along very well and even though we all live in different houses, we see each other daily!

    i'm 19; i have a 17 yr old sister, a 15 yr old brother, and an almost- 13 yr old sister. i guess i get along better with my younger siblings (by default, lol, since i'm the oldest!); however, i do not get along well with my 17 yr old sister because we're too close in age. i get along amazingly well with my brother, though, for some reason. he's awesome and i wish my relationships with my sisters were as great.

    I'm 18 and my brother is 16- about 18 months younger and 2 grades lower. Our relationship is like a pendulum. When we were younger, my parents used to fight all the time so he would come in my room and I'd cover his ears or distract him. He also came to me when it was thundering before he'd go to my parents.

    Then he hit about age 8 and from 8 to 15 we were sworn enemies. My parents treated us completely differently (encouraged me in academics and writing while my brother was all about the sports and music) so that really took a toll on our friendship.

    Now that I'm a few months from going 1000 miles away to college, we're getting closer. I can see us getting really close while I'm at college and I'm kind of worried about how he'll do without me around to buffer our parents' crazy mood swings. We have a lot of the same friends now through marching band so we are pretty involved in each other's lives.

    I got one sister who's a year and a half younger than me. We're like marmite... we either get on really well or we hate each other with a passion. There's never a happy medium!

    Two older brothers:

    Adam is exactly 5 and a half years older than me, he was born April 7th and I was born October 7th. Adam is 24, almost 25.

    Erich was born on April Fools Day, and he's about three and a half years older than me. He's 22, about to turn 23.

    I get along with them fine. Adam and I have always gotten along better than Erich and I, even though Erich and I have more in common. I've come to suspect that that's one of the reasons why we argued a lot- we were too much alike. But we never had a bad relationship, either. I think we've always gotten along better than most siblings do. Ironically, now that both of my brothers have moved out, we've gotten a lot closer.

    I have two biological siblings - my older brother and sister. I'm the baby. My brother is about 7 years older than me, and my sister is about 11 years older. I get along well with my brother now, and wiht my sister, too...although I don't see them much! Then I have m y 2 stepsisters (one older, one younger) and a stepbrother (older), from my dad's marriage. As well as an older stepbrother from my mom's marriage. I get along with my stepsiblings well, although I don't see them a whole lot.

    I've got a half brother who I've never met, I think he's about 4 years older than me. My dad was a little irresponsible as a teen, and the mother ran off to Alberta shortly after he was born and intentionally lost contact with my dad :(

    I'm the eldest being 25, then there's my sister - 23, brother 18 in May and another brother who's 7. I had another brother who died in a car crash aged 14, he'd be 21 in July.
    I don't see my siblings very often but we get on alright, I was my mother's birthing partner at my younger bro's birth... first person to hold him and I named him :)

    I am the middle child. I'm 23, my brother will be 32 in April and my sister is 15. I don't get along with either of them really...mostly because I'm the black sheep. My brother and I talk simply so I can see my 3 year old nephew, whom I absolutely adore. I raised my little sister because my parents were working...and she pretty much hates me. Go figure.

    haha wait til she gets a bit older and you will probably have a better relationship with her.. my sister pretty much raised me after my parents got a divorce and my mom worked all the time (age 10-15, 16) and although I hated her back then, I have started to appreciate just how much she did for me and we are pretty close now.
