Siblings.

I have an older brother, we get along ok now but he used to like bossing me around a lot as a kid, I guess that's just how the older ones are though. My parents pushed a lot of expectations on me to excel though as opposed to him.
 
I have a sister and a half-sister. My sister who lives with me is about two years older than me. My half-sister lives much further away, she's a few years older and is married with two kids now. Generally my relationship with both of them is fairly healthy, we all get along well.
 
I saw my brother a few weeks ago. It was the first time in like 6 months or more. (He lives in Europe.) It's a good amount of time to be apart. We don't have much in common, but unlike most of my family we don't still have an antagonistic relationship so we know when enough is enough. There's not much in the way of a relationship or expectations and that's rather how I like it.
 
I'm the middle child, I got an older and younger sister. It's really tough to be "in the middle" but I'm kinda glad my mom did not repeat the same parenting mistakes with my older sister. However, we're both jealous that my little sister is getting away with the majority of the stuff we couldn't do when we were her age.
 
I have a younger sister who is 14 years old and 4 years younger than me. There are times we really get along well and there are times we fight like cats and dogs. The bottom line though is I love her to pieces. As I reflect that I am going to be moving into my dorm room in several weeks and not be living under the same roof as her until Winter Break it kind of makes me sad. I know we will be doing a lot of chatting on the phone to see how she is doing in her first year of High School and she will be asking me about my first year of College.
