15 Signs You Grew Up With Only Brothers

You were always the one mom trusted, because regardless of how much older your brothers may have been, they still were about as responsible as an 8 year old.

15 Signs You Grew Up With Only Brothers

1. You have less than any understanding on how to do makeup.

The first time I ever wore makeup my brother said to me, "What is that black stuff all over your eyes." And from then on I decided I would stick to the extreme basics because I had no idea what I was doing.


6. You never got to eat your leftovers

In my house, if the leftovers were not in a tupperware with a very threatening and aggressive message on it, they were fair game for whoever found them.


7. You may consider yourself girly, but you will always be a tomboy at heart.

You may wear dresses and skirts and heels, but lets be honest, there is nothing like some sweatpants and a sweatshirt (that you may or may not have stole from your brothers).


8. Sometimes you wish you had a sister but then you remember real quick how grateful you are to be the only girl.

Certain instances lead you to maybe wish you only had sisters, but then you realize that with all girls comes a lot more fighting, crying, etc.


9. You understand the male species a little bit more.


10. You are the brutally honest friend.

Your brothers never sugar coated anything they said to you, no matter how blunt it was. So, neither do you.


11. You are the responsible one.

You were always the one mom trusted, because regardless of how much older your brothers may have been, they still were about as responsible as an 8 year old.


12. You developed thicker skin.

You and you brothers called each other every mean/rude thing under the sun. So anything said to you by somebody else didn't phase you.


13. Someone always had your back.

The only people that could be mean to you and get away with it was one of them. Anyone else had to answer to them.


14. You know exactly who to call if you need anything

No matter where they are or what they may be doing, you can always call one of you brothers to help you with anything or to come pick you up.


15. You will always have a love-hate relationship with your brothers, but the love will always outweigh the hate.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.
