[reecejackox]

[nene0182]

There are so many but the main ones are:

*we all live in different states and pretty far from each other (New Mexico, Virginia, Pennsylvania and North Dakota)
* I’m the only college graduate out of the four of us and I have 3 college degrees
* Out of us 3 girls, I’m the only one that works and my brother has a blue collar construction job while I am a payroll accountant
* They all have 2+ children while I only have 1.
* They are all at least 5” taller then me. I am the “baby” and I will probably always look like it.

I married college sweetheart, have 3 college aged kids and he has been living with same gal for 20 years, not married and no kids.
One of us is Christian and one atheist.
Brother is 6'4" and I am 5'4".

4 sisters, one brother.

We have one dad, our brother has another

He's a boy, we are girls lol

3 sisters and the brother have blue eyes, me and one other sister have green.

I am the tallest girl.

I was the first to be married, although my oldest is the 4th grandchild. Only one other sister and myself waited to have kids until after we were married.

One sister is divorced (and now remarried)

My brother is the only one of the 6 of us who doesn't have a college degree. He has health issues (epilepsy) and he/SIL decided to put my SIL through school (she's in grad school now, for finance) first in case it ever got so bad that he would have to stop working. If there was ever a "good" reason not to have a degree, this would be one!

I'm the only one who moved back in with our mother after she left us for a few years. My sisters all opted to stay with our dad.

We have each all been in each other's weddings. Except my brothers...my SIL is 16 years younger than me and also comes from a family of 4 sisters, so she had her own sibs stand up for her. It was a nice break, lol

 

[Lynn CC]

My brother is Rich, (we call him Mr. Monopoly! I am far from it
He has brown eyes, I have green
I laugh a lot, he's more serious
I am super forgiving, he is not
He's super generous because he can be, I tend to be super generous to a fault

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

I’m sane, they’re not.

 

[2goofycampers]

One brother 6 years younger. The thing I hear most is, "I don't believe you're even related".

 

[RangerPooh]

• I'm female, he's male
• He's always been more outgoing than me
• I'm in a functional marriage, he's in an unhealthy marriage and refuses to submit divorce papers even though they haven't lived together in years and she cheated on him throughout the co-habitual part of their marriage...plus she's a *****.

Wow, do I sound snarky I love my brother, but he really needs to change is situation and outlook on life.

 

[marcyleecorgan]

I exist and they don't

 

[MomofKatie]

Me- girl
Him- guy

I live 12 hours from my parents.
He lives less than 1.

I'm very independent.
He's a mama's boy. Wanted to live at home forever.

He got engaged and married really young.
I waited until I had been out of college a few years.

He has been divorced and is married to wife #2.
I'm still with my DH after 26 years.

He has 3 kids.
I have 1.

He has been at the same job for almost 35 years (elementary school art teacher).
I switched jobs every few years, but haven't had a full-time position since DD was born 20 years ago.

He is pretty country. Lives in small town in the South, drives a truck, goes 4 wheeling, etc.
I live in a suburban area near several large cities in the Northeast. I consider myself a bit more cosmopolitan (just a bit, lol).

With all these differences, I still think he's awesome and a great big brother. We don't get to spend as much time together as we'd like, but he's very special to me!

 

[mousefanmichelle]

I am not a alcoholic and they are.
I can keep a job and they can't and don't want to.
I am married they are divorced.
I am sane - they are not.
One wants to be better than everyone else and the other is bitter and nasty. I am none of those things.

 

[loves to dive]

They are all boys and I'm a girl.

 

[kimblebee]

They are social drinkers, I am not
They are all settled into careers, I am not
My sister is very much an Instagram mom- I am not
My one brother is very go with the flow- I am not
My other brother is a social butterfly and is always jetting off to one place or another- I am not

We all 100% get along fine and enjoy our time together. It’s a lot of fun and laughter.

ETA- we may be different but if I needed them, I wouldn’t have to ask. The same goes for all of them, too.

 

[10MoreMinutes]

I have four siblings, all brothers.

I'm the only one who is single. Three brothers are married, and the fourth brother is in a long-term relationship.
Two brothers have children, and the other two want children, whereas I don't have any and don't want any.
Two of us (me and one brother) have college degrees.
I'm the only one with blonde hair. Three brothers have brown hair and one has red hair.
I drink socially. One brother doesn't drink alcohol at all. The other three drink sometimes, with a tendency to get totally smashed every time they drink.
I'm a legal secretary, one brother is a network administrator for a local county government, one is in water/waste management, one is in metalworking, and one is in the military.
One brother lives in Florida, one in New York, and the other three of us live in Georgia.

 

[tinkerdorabelle]

I have one sibling a brother. I am shy an introvert, he is outgoing. I got good grades in school, he did not. I am honest about my ideas and thoughts even if not the ones of the crowd, he is a brown noser and his beliefs sway according to the crowd. I am generous and giving to family and loved ones, he is cheap and tight except with himself. I am cautious about what I purchase, he buys himself the most expensive everything. I am independent and don't never took from my parents, he always has even tho he makes good money. He has dealt with addictions though did beat them, I never had addictions. I have good credit just cosigning a loan for his daughter, he does not. He is a master manipulator going on FB making believe he is the one taking care of my dad, when he has lived with them most of his life between his divorces including now, draining them of every penny, and I never took anything. WOW being able to vent this anonymously was so much fun! Phew hehe

 

[antmaril]

I have one sister, seven years younger than me. We are very, very different. I am always practical and think things through and she does not. We are different in almost every way. Unfortunately, she is now totally disabled and is in a nursing home at age 60. It is a very sad situation.

 

[tvguy]

I am loud and my wife says I can talk to and get along with anyone.
My daughter describes my brother this way....."what my dad would be like if he ever got drunk" Louder, and friendlier than me, and can't sit still. My brother has been known.....when at the Dentist and waiting for the novocaine to kick in......to get up and walk from treatment area to treatment area talking to other patients, including whatever patient the dentist is currently working on.
