What drove you crazy about your siblings growing up?

My sister got away with a lot more than I did because she was younger. I feel like my Mom practiced the rules on me and tossed out the ones she felt weren't working on my sister.
 
My older brother, by 9 years, tormented me every chance he got. My younger sister, by 4 years, was a pain too. She would chase me around the house with bugs, I wasn’t allowed to go play with my friends unless she was invited too🙄, and the older I got the worse she was. She was determined to annoy me as much as she could. Probably why I got married at the age of 19. I just wanted to get the heck away from everybody.
 

Our middle brother was profoundly mentally handicapped and that his well-being dominated every aspect of our family life (no exception - ever) was very difficult for me as a young child. As I matured and was trained to see his care as both a sacred duty and privilege, it got easier and I wouldn’t now change a minute of the sacrifice it took to see him safely home.

That said, if I’d have had a special-needs child of my own, I certainly would have done things differently, in relation to my other children, for everybody’s best interest.
 
Their entire existence. My family has a picture of us when we were kids, both of us have a black eye. 🤣 We get along great now though
 
Sister was a rebel in her teens and because of her antics, I got stuck with very strict rules. My dad has even said he was sorry about it, but looking back I am grateful. I stayed on the straight and narrow path, not having to learn stuff the hard way.
