Growing up with siblings is arguably one of life's greatest blessings. Without my siblings, my life would lack a lot of laughter, love, hugs, jokes, harassment, and petty arguments! Who better to describe what growing up with siblings is like than DJ, Stephanie, or Michelle from "Full House?"
Can you relate to any of these situations that occur within sibling-hood?
You've been woken up from a peaceful, deep slumber at an ungodly hour because everyone in your family has different schedules—and no compassion nor consideration for the siblings who don't handle the morning hours too well.
You've tried to explain to your parents that your brother or sister is not perfect by any means.
You've felt totally fresh after being given the honor of wearing your older siblings' clothes. This opportunity is rare.
And if you've kindly shared your favorite sweater with a sibling, they probably ruined it.
You've basically gotten away with murder after collaborating with a fellow sibling to dispose of evidence and avoid getting in trouble. Mom will never know of your evil deeds.
And now we move to the categorical types of siblings. What characteristics match your siblings?
The sibling that you find under the dim light of the refrigerator at 3 a.m., always eating, but never gaining any weight.
The sibling that doesn't know what saving means. *Comes home with the third new pair of shoes this week*
The forever single sibling.
The never single sibling.
The sibling that challenges all of your goals and aspirations, to really get you thinking and make you a "better person."
The sibling that's always running late—to everything.
The sibling that is model material and absolutely photogenic, but doesn't believe that whatsoever.
The sibling that disregards all morals once they're away from parent supervision.
The sibling that is an angel...most of the time. Once they've had enough, they've had enough.
The sibling that thinks that their corny jokes are a true gift to any ear willing to listen. *Crickets*
The sibling that's a bad influence.
The youngest sibling that's so cute, they can do no wrong.
Whether you and your siblings are still young, or you've grown together into adulthood, embrace the joy of having siblings. They're automatic best friends, for life!
